Dressformula dress form on a height-adjustable stand
Dress forms for people who drape

Built to be
pinned into.

A form is an instrument, not a mannequin. Ours are made to take a pin at any angle, hold the line you gave it, and still be true years from now.

The forms

Three series.
One idea about how a form should behave.

Whatever you buy from us holds a pin properly. What changes between the series is what it's covered in, what sits under that cover, and how much punishment it's built to absorb.

01
Dressformula Essential dress form in grey
Essential

Grey, and grey for a reason.

Cheap black forms are wrapped in shiny synthetic that throws light back at whatever you drape over it. Whites go grey. Pastels shift. The Essential uses a tough neutral grey that stays out of the way, over cushioning that actually grips a pin.

  • Neutral grey — reads draped colour true
  • Double-density cushioning
  • Standard sizing scale
  • Female and male

Made forStudents, classrooms and studios building out a room without overpaying.

02
Dressformula Professional dress form
Professional

The one that gets worked hard.

A rugged outer surface over a multi-density composite core — not sponge. It compresses under the pin and comes back, season after season, which is the difference between a form that teaches the right shape and one that slowly stops being accurate.

  • Multi-density composite core
  • Reinforced collapsible shoulders, metal armhole plates
  • 4 kg height-adjustable stand on nylon casters
  • Armstrong scale, ½″ allowance

Made forDesign studios, boutiques and sampling floors in daily use.
