Dress Forms

Dress form displays are popular for effective in-store promotion and their ability to drive sales. The simple display form is a potent and persuasive tool in merchandiser’s tool kit.

A dress display form is a proxy for a full time model; demonstrating the potential of an outfit, showing the customer how garments look in three dimensions as well as cross-promoting other coordinates and accessories available in across the store.

Here at Subastral Inc. we supply a wide range of male, female and child size forms specifically designed for effective retail display. Apparel that must otherwise be organized on hangers or stacked on shelves can be given life-like form and presented as actually worn with a body form display; demonstrating how the fabric hangs and fits allowing the customer to fully visualize the apparel in all aspects like no other retail store fixture.

Our range includes height adjustable, professional quality forms for fashion designers and tailors as well as store display forms available in women’s, men’s and children’s sizes and covered in black, white or jersey fabric. Each form is set on a sturdy base and the fabric-covered body with padded underlay enables pinning of garments to fit the clothes for display perfectly.

Body forms are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, to suit your requirements and in 3/4 length with half leg (for displaying pants) or a simple torso and hip style designed for dress and skirt combinations. Professional dress forms are available for designers to create and alter clothing and for displaying apparel merchandise. The essential differences between the basic display form and the dressmaker form is that the basic body form comes in ready to wear sizes whereas the dressmaker form is designed with collapsible arms and removable parts (arms/legs) that can be added for the designer to make clothing for a person’s exact size. Petite and plus size forms and every size between are available.

Successful fashion retailing follows on the heels of good visual merchandising and the simple, time tested solutions are often the best, which is why we offer the above options.
