Extended Size Dress Form — Built for Plus Size Apparel Display
Displaying plus size clothing accurately requires a form that matches real-world body proportions. This extended size dress form covers sizes 18 and 20 with measurements designed to reflect how garments drape on curvier frames. Boutiques selling women's fashion in larger sizes can present tops, dresses, and jackets on a realistic silhouette. The linen off white finish keeps the form neutral enough to complement any merchandise color palette.
The form is especially useful for visual merchandising in women's clothing boutiques, department store sections, or alterations studios. Pinning directly into the foam core allows fitters to mark garments without damage. The cover fabric stretches smoothly across all contours, reducing bunching or distortion near the hip and bust areas.
Women's Full Figure Form — Neutral Finish for Any Store Setting
The linen off white cover blends into most retail environments without drawing attention away from the displayed garment. A women's full figure form in this neutral tone works well under different lighting conditions, including LED track lighting common in boutiques and showrooms. The smooth texture prevents surface glare and keeps the display professional.
The cover is fitted tightly over the foam structure, maintaining clean lines at the shoulder, torso, and hip. Retailers who display formal wear benefit from this clean presentation. The form stands without wobbling when mounted on the included base.
Solid Foam Core — Pin-Ready for Alterations and Fittings
The solid foam interior accepts pins without crumbling or splitting. This makes the form practical not just for display but also for active fitting and alterations work. Tailors and dressmakers can drape fabric, mark hemlines, and secure patterns directly onto the form. The foam retains its shape over extended use, which is important for retailers who set up and break down displays regularly.
Unlike hollow forms, the solid core adds stability and keeps the form upright during transport or repositioning. The cover remains taut over the foam even after repeated pinning sessions, reducing the need for early replacement.
Base and Cap Included
Every order includes a matching base and cap. The base provides a stable floor footprint while the cap finishes the top of the form neatly. Both components are selected to complement the linen off white cover. You can also browse our full range of female body forms to find other sizes and finishes.
