What is a size specific mannequin?
Our size-specific dress forms provide designers and boutiques with a pinnable solution to their bespoke fitting needs. Each dress form is solid yet easy-to-pin: simply push a pin straight into the doll – no hooking and no hassle.
Where are they made?
The size-specific pinnable dress forms are manufactured in Pretoria, South Africa, from where they are shipped both nationally and internationally to fashion designers, boutiques, malls and more.

Deciding which size to buy
Measure your bust, waist and hips and use the measurements to compare with the specs on the website. If two or more measurements fall within a specific category, that is the one to purchase.
Should you find yourself in-between two different sizes, we recommend purchasing the smaller model as you can always add padding to achieve your body shape. Use an old bra and fit it on your mannequin. Pad the bra until it resembles your bust shape and form. If the waist or hips are too small, use sponge or material to increase the circumference by adding it until it’s your specific measurement.
Remember that the mannequin is simply an aid and not a mirror image of your body shape.
