Now this is a fantastic piece of early shop and tailoring equipment. Dating from around the 1920s, this antique child’s tailor’s mannequin stands on industrial cast iron base with casters.
The mannequin features a fabric covered torso, designed so garments could be pinned directly onto the form during the fitting process. The smaller proportions suggest it was originally intended for children’s clothing, most likely used within a draper’s shop or tailoring workshop. Pieces like this were essential tools in early 20th century tailoring workshops and clothing departments, helping dressmakers shape and display garments during production.
Today it works beautifully as a display piece in a boutique, studio, or interior, while still retaining all the character of its original working life.
