What Are Dressmaking Dummies?
Dressmaking dummies are forms used by fashion designers and dressmakers. A dressmaker’s dummy is also called a dressmaking mannequin. Whereas mannequins like the kind seen in many store window displays have a head and limbs, dressmaking dummies have only the torso. The torso dressmaker’s dummy is sized for a particular clothing size, or range of sizes, and can be used to create tops as well as bottoms.
