  • Tailor's dummy - What is it?

    Tailor's dummies are a very great invention and they have made many people's work easier. A tailor's dummy is also called a tailor's bust and was already used in the 1900s to make clothes to measure. Back then, tailor's dummies were made of wood but nowadays almost all of them are made of resin or plastic. These dressmaker's dummies were covered with a layer of foam or padding so that the tailors could pin the fabrics and individual parts in place with small needles. However, there are also tailor's dummies made of metal, which are usually already adjusted to a certain size. However, almost all dressmaker's dummies are equipped with a standard clothing size if they are not adjustable.

    Who needs dressmaker's dummies?

    At that time, only people who also understood tailoring worked with tailor's dummies. These were often only a few, but this changed over time. More and more people learned how to sew and got themselves tailor's dummies so that they did not have to spend a lot of money unnecessarily at the tailor. Especially nowadays, dressmaker's dummies are very common. On the one hand, because many people sew their own clothes and, on the other hand, because a dressmaker's dummy is an excellent decoration.

    If you sew your clothes or even part of your clothes yourself, you are of course very well equipped with a dressmaker's dummy. Especially at festivities such as carnival or certain festivals, the silent models are often used. After all, it is always nicer to wear a unique piece than a costume or dress off the peg and possibly meet someone with the same piece of clothing.
