Miniature Black Dress Form

A tiny glossy black dressmaker’s form on a slim pedestal with a sculpted base. It’s small enough for a desk, shelf or bedside table, and also works as a stand for rings and necklaces.

Full-size dressmaker’s forms took their modern shape in the 19th century, and one of the best-known makers, Stockman, was founded in Paris in 1867 by the sculptor Frédéric Stockman, who made his early forms from papier-mâché. This miniature keeps that famous silhouette in palm size.
