Did you know about the dress form company PGM-Pro? Currently I have purchased several of their half-scale female dress forms to use in my "Draping I" classes. The dress forms are relatively inexpensive (approximately $80-100.00) and well made.I have been using the half-scale dress forms in my classes for about a year now, and to my surprise, the students feel much less intimidated when they set out to conquer a period gown.
This project was created by Starr Slocum, second year MFA student at UC/CCM.

Hi Gina,
PGM also has a great sponsorship program for full sized dress forms. Each educational institution is eligible for two free dress forms (last years model). You just need to pick up the shipping costs.
