The dressmaker's busts are patinated by the years and use. Dating from a time when clothing was still entrusted to seamstresses, one imagines the superb outfits emerging from the workshops. These mannequins display graceful lines and varied measurements. After helping to enhance women's figure, this beautiful and rare retro series will bring a tender and soft touch to a boutique window or will be put back into use in a workshop.

The mannequins are antique and do not have feet. The dressmaker's busts are marked by the years, tears, stains, old restorations, and other traces of time. They vary in size, and some are signed. The series includes five busts.
