Quality Dress Form: PGM DRESS FORM Speciality

PGM Dress Form System

PGM Dress Forms, natural body shaped with realist looking buttock

A good DRESS FORM can be distinctly identified by the virtue of its features. What makes one dress form better than any other are the features included, judged by its usability and applications.  To begin with, good dress forms have a natural body shape that features realistic looking hips and buttocks. Such a shape allows a user to design fitting garments more realistically and efficiently.

Secondly, key feature of quality Dress Forms are it’s collapsible shoulders. Collapsible shoulders are a standard feature included in every dressmaker form of any PGM Dress Form. The collapsible shoulders make it easy to fit model fabrics in and out of the dress form especially during dressmaking processes.  Also, good dress forms have an easy pin-ability and seams at 2 sides of the body. Being pin-able means that the padding materials used to create the dress form must allow draping designer or pattern maker to insert pins easily and when such pins are inserted they remain in place firmly. The two bumped out seams at body sides should enable draping designers or pattern makers to feel and touch the sensational  draping on dress forms.

Quality manufacturers of dress forms such as PGM Dress Form  make each of their professional dress form individually. A handcrafted dress maker form is of better quality and very accurate in their measurements. PGM Dress Form mploys professional form makers to craft each and every single one of the produced dress forms by hand, so the dress forms have unique, specific dimensions and precise contours.

A quality DRESS FORM must have a uniquely designed and crafted pedal base system. Such a system helps the dress maker to adjust the dressmaker form to the user’s desired height very easy. Of course, that is again one of the priority features of dress maker forms from PGM Dress Form.

Finally, PGM Dress Form has also helped pioneer another standard feature for quality dress forms in the market today. The mobility and durability of dress forms is an essential feature especially when such dress forms are used in commercial production. Mobility means that the dress forms are light and fitted with rollers that makes them easily movable from one location to another. Durability on the other hand presupposes that despite being light the materials used to make each dress form will last and be resistant to structural damage.

These are just some of the features that surmount PGM Dress Form as the market leader in the design and manufacture of dress forms. For a company to gain the reputation of a market leading dress forms manufacture, it must feature comprehensive lines: quality dress form system ranging from standard half body dress forms to the full body forms, ladies dress form to men dress form, large women dress form to pregnant dress form, children dress form to girls dress forms, miniature dress form to pants forms.
