Have you ever felt like this? A poem?
On Display
by Koye Lott
Look... that's you in the window
but this isn't Macys...
Like a good little mannequin
you're keeping the place neat
and clean... for the shoppers
Or they may not shop
So you change your poses..
hoping they'll stop
for a look at your goods
They can look... but no feel..
This ain't grope on a rope
I will smack you for real!
I'm kidding
No violence
Mannequins are silent
What can a mannequin do
besides smile and..
Pose for the window
as the seasons they go
by... as quickly as you see the wind blow
But today is a new day
and I'm grabbing a sun ray
I'm taking this dummy off display.....
punny.
nope never felt that way.. but I like the poem
it works.. I like that you are writing freely.. It is nice to see.
Once you've decided to purchase a wire dress form you might think it would be simple to make a choice, especially when you want to buy it online. There are literally hundreds of wire dress form offers available on the Internet and there are several e-stores whose main product is these rather uncommon items. Despite that, oftentimes buyers are left with an unusable piece of wire - and the store that sold the dress form isn't always to blame. So, if you don't want this problem, here are some considerations ...
1. What is your reason for wanting a dress form?
A wire dress form isn't a common item that you can buy casually. If it is to be perfect for your form, it must be customized for your shape. The type of wire dress form you need completely depends on the function you are seeking. If you love to sew for yourself you will need a different kind of form than the kind needed by a professional dressmaker whose model must fit a wide variety of bodies and shapes. Similarly, a store owner, requires a third - and very different - kind since her goal is simply to have a form for hanging clothes so that they display to their best advantage, and it doesn't need to fit any particular body.
2. The shape and size of your form:
* If you're a hobbyist, try to get a wire dress form that exactly matches your body. This makes sewing much easier than trying to measure when your garments are on your own body. Hanging clothes on a mannequin, and then being able to step back from them, is a much surer way to ensure that your new clothes fit perfectly.
* A professional, on the other hand, must properly fit a multitude of sizes, and therefore may need several wire dress forms in the most popular shapes and sizes.
* A shop owner, of course, maximizes her clothing sales when her garments look great and entice buyers with visions of how good they will look wearing the clothing. Size is mostly irrelevant.
3. Prices of wire dress forms:
There isn't a standard price for dress forms because they come in all sorts of price ranges, although none are truly inexpensive. Here, the home sewer is in the best position, because she don't need anything especially elegant or fancy since size is all that matters, not the looks of the form.
Merchants and store managers are the ones who must pay the most since the form is an item of display, rather than being simply functional. Even the most beautiful garments will look tacky on an ugly form and sales will suffer.
Perhaps the most important consideration is that wire dress forms absolutely should last for years. Buying one that is too cheap just might result in the need to replace it too soon, meaning that you will end up paying more than you would have done if you'd bought a good one in the first place.
