Hi everyone!
As I'm a man my figure doesn't fit for Vistorian or Edwardian corsets with thier dramatic shapes.
I couldn't find a girl or woman among my friends who would satisfy my 'ideal corset figure'.
So I desided to spend my time, efforts and some glue
And here she is - My Edwardian Lady
She looks lil' big but she has normal size:
Bust 89 (35'), Waist 56 (22'), (lower) Hips 98 (38.5')
Of course it's not perfect but she looks I wanted it to :)
Everyone who wants historic dress form but cannot afford it or cannot find needed shape you can do it yourself!


My mom even says now - why do you need all these corsets when you can earn making corset forms :lol:

That's a lovely form. How are you liking it? Is it a display form only or can you pin into it?

Female Foam Dress Form with
Hanging String on the back of Neck
(We do not sale form alone.)

They state they do not sell the mannequin alone, that is not true. I called Nina and asked for just the mannequin without the stand. As it is for table display. Its so cheap and shipping was only $14 to NYC. Good luck designers

When I needed a curvier display model I used this pattern from Atelier Sylphe. :kiss:

Its perfect for curvy shaping and the fabric is of your choosing.
