Retro Dress Form Mannequin Porcelain Limoges Box
A dress form styled in retro clothing is the subject of this porcelain figurine box, recalling the sewing rooms and dress shops of decades past. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with a vintage spirit that suits any fashion collection.
Vintage Patterns
Before ready to wear filled every closet, dresses were cut from tissue paper patterns and fitted on a form like this one. The retro styling brings back that era of home sewing and neighborhood dressmakers. It is a tribute to the patience and skill of anyone who has ever hemmed a skirt by hand.
