Something new!
 
      This is a first for Lincoln Mold Company. We introduce our life-size, very Victorian dress form pattern. This figure is designed in a fashion that folks found so charming around 1900.

      Turn of the century fashion decreed that large round hips and great splendor of figure would prevail, but also demanded a distinctly diminutive waist. The body was corseted, forming the waist in a most surprising manner. It keeps the body in the right place and allows the chest to expand. The corset flattened the figure below expanding the chest carrying it well forward.

      The new look, immortalized by the American artist, Dana Gibson, presented an upright poise of the shoulders, long sloping bust with straight front line and graceful curve over the hips. The waist held in well below the figure, the chest carried well forward and the shoulders down.
This pattern can be made up to display antique clothing. It is a wonderful way to display Great Grandmother’s wedding dress. Or it will stand on its own.

      The cost of owning an antique dress form is prohibitive. This is your opportunity to own a real Victorian dress form for very little. It is fairly simple to make. Finished it will add something special to your décor.

      Try our new life-size dress form pattern today. Enjoy the turn-of-the-century look without the disastrous result brought on by the corset which caused much suffering to those who wore them.
