This AJustrite dress form is an interesting old retail sales aid. Patented in 1935, it was designed to slip inside a dress so the garment could be displayed in the store in a more fitted, attractive way than shown loose on a hanger. There's a string and fastener weight to adjust the waist. The hourglass shape sturdy cardboard form has heavy seam binding sewn to the edges for stability. Made by Gerstein Bros. Manufacturing of New York. In excellent vintage condition with no tears, stains, or damage.
