Why Choose Half-Scale?
Ultimate Portability and Flexibility The innovative vice stand clamps securely to any table, desk, or work surface—no dedicated studio space required. Perfect for students moving between classrooms, designers working from home, or anyone with limited space.
Save Fabric and Money Using half the fabric of full-size draping means you can experiment freely without fear of waste. Test bold ideas, unusual silhouettes, and couture techniques at a fraction of the cost.
Professional Markings for Precision Work Features all standard dress form guidelines including bust line, waist, hip, princess seams, and center front/back lines—everything you need for accurate draping and pattern development.
Learn Faster, Create More Draping at half-scale is physically easier and takes less time, allowing you to iterate quickly and build skills through repetition. Perfect for mastering fundamentals like bodice construction, sleeve setting, pleating, ruffles, and silhouette development.
Ideal for Students and Beginners Fashion schools love half-scale forms because they make draping principles easier to understand while allowing unlimited practice. It's the perfect student product—affordable, educational, and endlessly useful.
Space-Saving Design Set up only when you need it, then store away compactly. The vice stand eliminates the need for a permanent floor stand, making this ideal for small studios, home sewing rooms, dorm rooms, or shared workspaces.
Perfect for Concept Development Prototype your entire collection in miniature before committing to full-scale production. Test proportions, experiment with structure, and refine your vision quickly and confidently.
Portfolio-Ready Results Half-scale garments photograph beautifully and make impressive portfolio pieces that showcase your draping skills, design thinking, and technical abilities.
Pattern Drafting Made Smarter Draft and test patterns at half-scale to catch proportion issues early, saving time and materials when you scale up to full size.
Protected Investment The included protective cover keeps your form clean and dust-free when not in use, ensuring the ivory cotton cloth stays pristine for years of use.
Unlock Your Creativity When experimentation is fast, affordable, and low-risk, you'll feel free to push boundaries, try unconventional techniques, and develop your unique design voice.
