dress form
Garment shaping stand
A dress form is a torso-shaped mannequin used for fitting, designing, or displaying clothing.
Dressmakers and tailors use adjustable forms to pin and drape fabric without a live model: She adjusted the bodice on the dress form.
Unlike full mannequins, dress forms typically lack heads, arms, and legs.
