PGM has been manufacturing Dress Forms in California since 1983. PGM have spent countless years studying the craft of constructing a fine dress form and have spent double the time deconstructing the methods used in pursuing the best shape and measurements.
As most professionals in the fashion and garment industry agree, the quest for the perfect size and shape of a dressmaker form is an on-going process. Continuous innovation is the key point to making PGM professional dress forms the best and we continue to extend our leadership in the manufacturing of dress forms in the apparel industry.
