A dressmaker's model, also known as a dress form or mannequin, is a three-dimensional representation of the human body used for fitting and designing clothing. It is typically made of foam, fiberglass, or wood, and is shaped to resemble the proportions of a particular body type or size. The dressmaker's model allows designers and dressmakers to create and adjust garments on a form that closely mimics the shape and size of a real person, allowing for more accurate fittings and design work. Some dressmakers' models are adjustable, with dials and knobs that allow the form to be altered to fit a range of sizes and shapes. They may also come in different styles, such as half-scale or miniature models, depending on the needs of the designer or dressmaker.
