Which Professional Dress Form is right for you?
We have six different types of professional forms available and, while the differences between them can seem confusing, it is important to note that they are more similar than they are different. All of these forms are professional grade and perfect for either designing or displaying clothing. They all come with our heavy-duty cast iron base system and are very durable. However, there are some differences between them. This guide should be able to help you decide which particular model is perfect for your needs.
Are you planning on designing (or displaying)...
- tightly fitted tops?
- You would need a form with Collapsible Shoulders. Collapsing the shoulders shrinks the width of the torso which makes it very easy to put on, or take off, tops, without any risk of damaging the garment. If your tops are fitted but do not need to be draped over the form (i.e. they can be dressed on the form by a zipper or buttons - like a jacket) then you would not need the collapsible shoulders.
- tightly fitted sleeves?
- You would need a form with arms. We have three models which come with Removable Arms. These models have specialized shoulder caps which the arms can click into and are held securely in place. The arms can also be rotated 360 degrees. For the other forms (which do not come with Removable Arms and the specialized shoulders caps), you can still attach our "tie on arms" where the arm hangs in place on the form via straps.
- tightly fitted skirts?
- You would then need a model with cage (or the full body model with legs). The cage or legs will make it easy to style a tightly fitted skirt as they give the body structure underneath the skirt.
- tightly fitted pants?
- You would need our Full Body Dress Form which comes with two full legs. You would also need the full body form for displaying pants (fitted or loose) as the half body forms cannot be dressed in pants.

If the shoulders are static, there is the potential of damaging the garment when putting it on, or removing it from, the form. Both the "collapsible shoulders" and "removable shoulders" functions are designed to prevent this potential damage, though collapsing the shoulders shrinks the torso more than removing the shoulders. These functions are only needed for use with tight fitting clothing.
2 The removable arms are connected through a hinge in the shoulder plates of the form. This allows for a very stable connection. These arms cannot be paired with any other form as the other forms do not have the shoulder plates to allow the arms to connect.
3 The purpose of the cage is for designing longer dresses and gowns. The male forms only have these cages to emulate the 'look' of the female forms (the cages are a classic dress form accessory). All of these cages can be unscrewed from the form should you wish to do so.
4 Both the linen and the canvas covers are very durable. The difference between them is purely aesthetic.
