Nina
USD 470.00 – USD 680.00
Nina is 100% universal dress form – it’s perfect for working with any type of garment. It has our signature realistic shape and proportions. Trousers, jeans, shorts, jumpsuits, bodysuits, lingerie, and swimwear — all of these things will be easy to create because Nina has legs.
Nina has a cover without construction lines: a pristine canvas for your creative vision and bespoke designs.
The mannequin is made from soft polymer material (polyurethane), with no hard frame/core inside. It is 100% pinnable (pins can go inside for their whole length). It is heat and water-resistant (iron and steam right on it) and has compressible shoulders (put a fitted garment on the dress form easily). Additional accessories (stand, arms, head) are available.
KEY FEATURES:
✔ ANATOMIC – our dress forms are accurately shaped and proportioned according to physical characteristics derived from relevant modern consumer data.
✔ POLYURETHANE CORE – the dress form is made entirely of polyurethane. This makes it ideal for pattern-making, draping and pinning techniques. Polyurethane is a safe modern poly material also used to produce children’s toys, mattresses, sleeping cushions, etc.
✔ COMPRESSIBLE – this tailor’s torso is made entirely of soft foam, so you can compress its shoulders manually (as demonstrated in the listing photo gallery) to put a fitted garment on and narrow its waist while trying a laced corset. Compressed and released shoulders do not stay put – they gain their original shape naturally.
✔ MULTIPURPOSE – this sewing torso can also be used to display clothes and take photos of your designs’ fabulous fit.
✔ DURABLE – you can steam and iron right on the dress form. All materials tolerate high temperatures and water perfectly.
✔ STEADY – in this listing the dress form is shown with the metal and wooden stand equipped with rotation retainer, which is very convenient to use for draping as well as for displaying your work. It allows for the torso height to be adjusted.
✔ HANDY – a magnet pin holder built into the mannequin’s neck cap, construction lines, stand with wheels with stoppers and foot pedal (metal stand only), rotation and height adjustment tool: Nina’s got everything a professional designer and tailor needs for comfortable and efficient work.
ABOUT THE DRESS FORM STAND:
For Nina we offer 2 kinds of stands: wooden and metal.
METAL STAND has a steady, heavy (about 8 kg / 18 lbs) iron cast base. It has wheels with stoppers and a rotation retainer included. The pedal is used as a temporary foot brake that keeps the dress form still while you’re working on it. The height of the dress form is adjusted manually by extending or shortening the telescopic stand pole. The metal stand is available in 2 colors: BRIGHT GOLD and MATTE BLACK
WOODEN STAND is a perfect combination of minimalism, functionality, and style. It has a steady platform base made of natural (polished and varnished) wood. Like our metal base, it also comes with a rotation retainer included. The height of the dress form is adjusted manually by repositioning the rotation retainer on the stand pole. Available in one color.
