Built for Design

The Global Standard Dress Form is our latest collection designed from the top down to both perform and impress. This dress forms is built from three distinct layers - a hard foam inner core (for its durable shape) which is covered by a layer of soft foam (for realistic body feel) and then wrapped in an outer layer of elegant canvas. The entire dress form is fully pinnable and is created for professional fashion design use. The base and finial (neck cap) are solid metal and come in three stunning colors. The dress form height is adjustable through the connector (on the underside of the form) and telescoping poles. The base pedal is for aesthetics and is not functional.

The Women’s Regular version is perfect for tops, dresses and gowns. With the pole connecting through the center of the form, they can even be used with very heavy clothing. Questions? See the FAQ section below.

  • What is included with this dress form?
    +

    The Global Standard Dress Form comes with the fully pinnable torso (in the size you have chosen), matching detachable shoulders, solid metal finial and rolling base (in the color you have chosen) and assembly instructions. The height of the form is adjustable through either the connector on the underside of the form or through the telescoping pole. The pedal and spring are only included for aesthetics and do not actually function. They can be removed if you wish. The base comes with four wheels/ castors - two of them can be locked in place which will prevent the form from rolling. The wheels can also easily be unscrewed and the base can be used without them.

  • What are the differences between the Original Standard and the Global Standard dress form series?
    +

    There are several important differences between our two series:

    • Measurements - both series use a different measurement system. The bust-to-hips ratio on the Original Series is more closely aligned (meaning that the hips measurement is very close to the bust measurement) to cover those with a straighter body. Our Global Standard series uses the Global Standard measurement chart and the bust-to-hips ratios are greater (where the hips are larger than the bust) to cover those with more curvier measurements. We also have more dress form sizes available in this latter series.
    • Torso Build - both series use a hard foam inner core to give the dress form its shape and allow it to retain this shape for a long period of time and throughout heavy use. This hard layer is fully pinnable - which is what makes our Fabulous Fit forms unique. Both series use an outer fabric cover - the Original Standard has a stretch cotton cover while the Global Standard employs durable canvas with industry grain lines (and has our logo/size printed). Both fabric choices are extremely durable. The Global Standard series adds a middle layer of soft foam (between the inner hard core and the outer canvas) for a more realistic body feel.
    • Shoulders vs. Arms - the Original Standard comes with two movable arms which can be pinned onto the form. The Global Standard comes with two shoulders which can be easily and securely connected or detached from the form using our specialized shoulder connector.
    • Finial/ Base Options - the Global Standard is designed to work with a wider range of bases and color options. The finials in this series are solid metal and match the color option of the base.
  • Changing measurements on the dress form via the Padding System
    +

    Changing measurements on the dress form is quite easily done through the optional addon Fabulous Fit Padding System. The padding system is series of specially body-contoured pads (17 in total) which you can add to the individual measurements of the form to increase some or all of its numbers. The kit also comes with a stretch cover which goes over the pads and the form to hold them in place. Many inches can easily be added through this system.

    The stretch covers come in four sizes. Each represents the size range you would like the form to be after the pads are added. For instance, if you would like to transform some/all of the measurments on a size 4 form to a size 6 or 8, you would need the size Medium kit (which covers a range of 6-10). The cover of the size Small (0-4) would be too tight to fit a dress form with pads added to a size 6 or 8 range. The size Large cover (12-16) would be too loose to properly hold the pads in place.

    The covers come in two color options - natural and black.

  • What about a size listed as out of stock or not listed at all?
    +

    We are contantly producing more of both series (Global and Original) so if anything runs out of stock, we should have it back up very soon. We are also in the process of creating additional sizes (for the Global Standard series). Please feel free to reach out to us at any time for updates.

  • Are there other choices/ accessories for the base?
    +

    Although the metal rolling bases offered with this form are the most popular and useful, we do have other base types which can be used (tabletop, flat square or tripod). We also carry pants and shoe display accessories for the Global Standard series. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions about these.
