About the Item
This is a fantastic collector's item, perfect for vintage curiosity enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike! We present to you a tailor's mannequin made in mid-20th century Italy. The frame is crafted from chromed metal, while the body features a combination of wood and papier-mâché, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era.
What sets this mannequin apart is its remarkable adjustability, designed to cater to various sizing needs. The internal mechanism allows for precise size adjustments, accommodating the unique proportions of any lady, including the ability to modify the position of the breasts. This innovative feature enabled tailors to craft garments with unparalleled precision for women of all physical characteristics. The system was patented in Italy, and you’ll find the patent number and the name of the Italian company that produced it inscribed on the upper part of the mannequin.
It’s truly fascinating to consider how many exquisite dresses from the finest Italian tailors were created with the invaluable assistance of this mannequin! Whether you wish to display it in a clothing store, showcase it in a museum, or simply add it to your home collection, this item is sure to captivate everyone who encounters it, sparking curiosity and interest in the art of fashion design.
