This detailed illustration shows a 19th- to early-20th-century adjustable dress form, featuring a black fabric-covered torso with vertical lacing channels, a collapsible wire cage skirt, and a sturdy tripod base with casters. The neck has a tightening knob and clamping mechanism for securing garments, while the waist and hip sections are adjustable via external straps and buckles. Designed for precision fitting, it enabled seamstresses and couturiers to drape, pin, and refine silhouettes before cutting fabric.
