Victorian dress forms

[maisondeverneur]

I'm in the UK, and would love to own an original victorian (adjustable) dress form, complete with skirt cage (the type similar to the vfg logo). Does anybody have any advice as to where I can look for one? I'd be really grateful for any advice! I've seen several for sale on USA Ebay, but understandably the sellers are not willing to ship to the UK.

I know where there is one in a store but its VERY expensive -- $600.00 I think. You used to be able to find them for qaround $100 but as you say, shipping is going to be nightmarish because they are bulky, heavy and fragile.

In the past I've seen one at a local auction, and it went above my bid. I don't remember the price now, but I think it was over $100.

I have seen them occasionally on ebay - you might want to keep an eye out there.
