Why work on PGM Half Scale Dress Form
- You can see the entire form while still standing near enough to make changes to
the design.
- The eye can accurately gauge the best proportions for the body and the design.
- You can better predict the behavior of the fabric.
- The design can be created in the actual fashion fabric, since so little is used; its
characteristics can be used to the best effect in the design.
- Custom dressmakers can use the half scale to exhibit their work for customers,
enabling customers to "see" the garment much more clearly.
- Sewing instructors can use it as an effective way to teach sewing skills -
students learn construction skills without having to worry about fit and they feel
more willing to try a technique without having to wear it.
- The garment pieces are small enough that students can see which end is up.
- And finally, the student has a permanent sample that can always be checked
again for how-to.
