Custom Dress Forms
Work with
a true-to-body form every time
Built from an accurate 3D model of a specific person (you or your client) our custom dress forms represent an actual person’s body: all the measurements, proportions, posture.
Overview
Our custom dress forms can be fully customized to client’s requirements
Size/measurements
We don’t go by sizes. Each form is custom made to mimic one specific person – you or your client. All the measurements and all the curves, proportions, posture are preserved. The entire geometry is represented.
Material
Lightweight and durable our forms are easy to use and to store. Made from a closed-cell material, it is not prone to indentations. It is also non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and resistant to water, oil, and mildew.
Fully “pinnable”
The whole form is made from pin-friendly material and allows insert pins to any depth. It is is firm enough to hold the pins in place and support even heavy fabrics.
Modular
Arms, legs, head are featuring magnetic attachments. Parts can be ordered at a later time, allowing clients to build the form of their dreams over time.
The reference lines
The reference lines are attached with specially designed staple-pins – they will not catch a seam or pull threads of your fabric.
Mounting opening in the thigh
This allows for convenient crotch fitting – it’s not on the way and you can put pins in the center-seam area.
Handle on top
Hang the dress form for pants fittings and for styling the whole outfit without visible pole in the bottom.
Body changes
We can make adjustments to your form if your body changes. Both addition and removal of material can be implemented.
Imagine having a dress form
that has the same curves
as you (or your client)…
What is a 3D scan dress form?
3D scan dress form is a custom dress form (a professional tailoring mannequin), made to represent a shape and size of a specific person through capturing the 3D image of that person with a professional 3D scanner.
3D scanning allows us to make a “copy” of a customer’s body. All the curves and unique features of the scanned person are captured with the required accuracy.
Once the data is captured, it can be processed in a few ways. Each application is different and each client’s preferences are unique. During the preparation of the 3D model from the scanned data, we implement client’s requirements and feedback.
Our “perfectly-tailored” approach gives client full control over the details: which ones to keep and which to omit. At the same time, we share our expert advise and make sure that the final result will be appropriate for client’s application.
Who can benefit form using a custom made dress form?
Professional costume designers, tailors, home sewing enthusiasts, as well as customers who orders custom tailored or bespoke clothing can benefit form using custom dress forms.
For professional costume designers
our 3D scan dress forms provide an accurate representation of the body shape that they are working with. This allows them to create or style accurate costumes quickly and efficiently, saving them time and money. Notorious scheduling conflicts and last-minute changes become easily resolvable with the help of a “tailoring body double”.
For professional tailors and seamstresses who make custom clothing for their clients
our custom dress forms allow them to accurately tailor garments to the customer’s body shape, without the presence of the client. This eliminates any guesswork on the part of the tailor and ensures that their clients will be happy with the final product.
For people who wears custom made clothes, such as celebrities or business people
our 3D scan dress forms can save a lot of time, spent on in-person fittings. Ordering garments that are tailored specifically to their individual body shape will be a lot more efficient and will enable a quicker turn-around. Custom dress form will bring our clients freedom from geographical borders, when it comes to ordering bespoke clothing!
People who sew for themselves
can easily do all fittings without the help from someone else. With a custom dress form, it’s easy to make adjustments to the pattern pieces and see how the garment will look in real life, on their unique body shape. This saves time, as it eliminates the need to constantly try the garment on to check the fit.
Custom dress forms made from 3D body scans are revolutionizing the way that costume designers, tailors, and home sewing enthusiasts create clothing. These dress forms offer an unprecedented level of accuracy and precision, making it much easier to create perfectly tailored clothing that perfectly fits the body.
Do you offer arms and legs for custom dress forms?
What are other options?
We offer truly customized solutions, including selection of parts.
Customers can choose from many various options or even request their own ideas to be implemented. Our clients can to choose from adding a full arm, a full leg or just a portion (such as arm to elbow, or leg to knee), or a pair of either.
Other examples of customization include: where to crop arms&legs, symmetry adjustments, shaping for corsets and many more features.
Our solutions can be implemented step-by-step: our dress forms are “modular” and can be build it up over time.
For example, you could start with a 3D body scan, later order a torso form (or even just a half – bust or hips), later add the other half, then an arm or two, legs and so on.
