| {1} Dress form holding scarf at our Design House. |
We get vintage dress forms in the shop, but even for us, the really old ones have just been getting more and more difficult to find. Usually when we do have them, we're sure to post them on our website for Fresh Off the Wagon, since they're highly sought after by our customers.
We love looking at all the variations over time; you can really find some beautiful pieces with great age and patina. We use them at the shop to display scarves and wraps, jewelry, and they just plain look cool in a room by themselves - so we do that too!
Where can you go when you want a vintage dress form fix?
I scoured around and found a few favorite pictures. They're mostly early 1900's examples and many easily ranged from $750 and up {yikes!}. Here are the results of my search. Leave us a comment telling us which dress form is YOUR favorite. Have a great day!
{2} This one is early 1900's. It stands 4' 6" tall with a 21" round skirt.

{4} This one extends to 43" tall. I love how the photographer offset the form in this picture against that dark concrete wall. Pretty!
{5} These are really exciting....well to me anyway! Here is a pair from France circa 1750! These are still available from Coup d'Etat in San Francisco. One is listed as 6' 2" tall and the other is 6' 6" tall. No price listed for the pair, I can't imagine... |
