Welcome to Dress Rite Forms Co. We produce dress forms for manufacturing, display, and rental.
Owning a dress form allows for three-dimensional design of garments. The natural shape of our forms assimilates actual body castings of real people assuring a good fit and that clothes will hang properly. Fabric pattern features can be placed to compliment the figure, darts can be rotated, experimentation is practical, imagination can be immediately executed, and when the garment is finished, it will fit.
Our dress form lineup includes:
The Base Model: our more economical model, this torso form is made from paper maché and covered with knit.
The Industrial Model: our industrial quality model, this torso form is made from paper maché, padded, covered with Irish linen, has a cage, and collapsible shoulders.
The Gold Model: this torso model is shaped to accurately reflect the body shape of mature women over the age of 50. They are offered in both Base and Industrial configurations.
Full Body Dress Forms: full length body from neck to ankles, these forms are made from paper maché, padded, covered with Irish linen, and has collapsible shoulders.
