Half Scale Dress Form

Why work on PGM Half Scale Dress Form

- You can see the entire form while still standing near enough to make changes to
   the design.

- The eye can accurately gauge the best proportions for the body and the design.

- You can better predict the behavior of the fabric.

- The design can be created in the actual fashion fabric, since so little is used; its
   characteristics can be used to the best effect in the design.

- Custom dressmakers can use the half scale to exhibit their work for customers,
  enabling customers to "see" the garment much more clearly. 

- Sewing instructors can use it as an effective way to teach sewing skills -
  students learn construction skills without having to worry about fit and they feel
  more willing to try a technique without having to wear it. 

- The garment pieces are small enough that students can see which end is up.

- And finally, the student has a permanent sample that can always be checked
  again for how-to.
