A dressmaker's mannequin, the dress form that stands in every atelier, is captured here in a smaller size as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was made in Limoges, France, a short train ride from the fashion houses of Paris.

Pinned and Ready

Every great gown begins on a dress form, draped, pinned and adjusted until the fit is just right. The form is painted by hand here, so the colors and fine details vary a little from box to box.

From the Atelier

It is a natural choice for a seamstress, a fashion design student, or a bridal shop owner. Costume designers, tailors and anyone who just finished sewing a wedding dress will understand it immediately. It also makes a stylish thank-you for a personal shopper or boutique owner.

Paris to Limoges

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain is fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand, much like the handwork of couture. Set this one on a sewing table, a dressing room shelf or a boutique counter.
