How Custom?

The custom dressforms begin with a scan of the customer and the pattern is taken directly off the 3D scan. This allows everything - shape, size, gender, posture, tilt/leans, and any physical differences - to be emulated in the final dressform. Rarely can a business claim to be accessible and deliver but BespokeForms is truly able to create a dressform for anyone.
