Antique Dress Form Mannequin - Historical Tailoring Tool Illustration #3479011 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraved illustration depicts a classic female dress form (or tailor’s dummy) with a tightly fitted torso, shoulder roll, and neck cap, mounted on an adjustable, turned-wood tripod stand featuring elegant cabriole legs. The surface texture suggests padded canvas or linen covering, typical of period mannequins used in haute couture studios. Fine cross-hatching renders depth and fabric tension, emphasizing its functional yet decorative role in historical garment construction.
