Vintage Adjustable Female Dress Form Mannequin

Description : Vintage adjustable female dressmaker’s form with a shaped torso, segmented construction, black textured fabric covering, adjustable neck cap, and black four-foot metal stand. Designed as a working sewing and tailoring tool for fitting, draping, pinning, and garment construction. This example is in heavily worn project condition, with substantial loss and tearing to the upper fabric covering, exposed underlying material, open seams, surface wear, and a large damaged area at one side of the bust. The distressed condition also gives it potential as a salvaged display form, theatrical prop, studio fixture, or restoration project.
