Zoe
USD 570.00 – USD 780.00
We designed Zoe with lingerie and corsetry in mind.
She is an extra soft, fully pinnable dress form with proportions that replicate the body shape when a corset-type garment is on.
At 15 percent softer than a standard One Forms mannequin, the new soft foam form approximates the softness of the human body for a more realistic fitting of intimate apparel and corsetry.
All the features including the chest, the waist area and the hips are shaped to mimic the female form whilst wearing a corset: the bust is pushed up, the waist is cinched, the lines are designed carefully and strategically after consulting with multiple professional corsetry designers.
Zoe has a cotton cover with seams that double as reference construction lines. They are easy to find even underneath the draft fabric. The cover is very durable and low maintenance.
KEY FEATURES:
✔ 100% COTTON COVER WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION LINES – cover is made from pure cotton fabric in natural color. It can be easily removed (for dry cleaning purposes or replacement for example) and then put back on the mannequin. The cover has professional tailor construction lines and it’s extremely durable.
✔ POLYURETHANE CORE – dress form is made entirely of polyurethane. This makes it ideal for pattern making, draping an pinning technique. Polyurethane is a safe modern poly material also used to produce children’s toys, mattresses, sleeping cushions, etc.
✔ COMPRESSIBLE – the dress form torso is made entirely of soft foam, so you can compress it’s shoulders manually (as demonstrated in listing photo gallery) to put a fitted garment on and narrow it’s waist while trying a laced corset. Compressed and released shoulders do not stay put – they gain original shape naturally.
✔ MULTIPURPOSE – this sewing torso can also be used to display clothes and take photos of your designs’ fabulous fit.
✔ ANATOMIC – our dress forms are accurately shaped and proportioned according to physical characteristics derived from relevant modern consumer data.
✔ DURABLE – you can steam and iron right on the dress form. All materials tolerate high temperature and water perfectly.
✔ STEADY – in this listing the dress form is shown with the metal stand and rotation retainer. It 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 mannequin’s neck cap, construction lines, stand with wheels with stoppers and foot pedal, rotation and height adjustment tool: Zoe’s got everything a professional designer and tailor needs for comfortable and efficient work.
ABOUT THE DRESS FORM STAND:
For Zoe 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 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. 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 rotation retainer included. The height of the dress form is adjusted manually by repositioning of rotation retainer on the stand pole. Available in one color.
