Where do I find a rack like this? Also, a dress form?

Vicki

I noticed this cool-looking black dress rack in the H&M window at South Coast Plaza a week ago and I was wondering where I could find one? I'm also interested in a black linen dress form, life-size, not for sewing or tailoring, but more for dressing and styling. The second and fourth photos are too expensive (2 from Urban Outfitters and 4 from PB Teen). Any leads on these two items? Thanks.

I've seen dress forms on Amazon. Granted, they aren't as pretty as the ones you have up. I think I've seen racks like that at the Container Store, but don't quote me on it.

No idea where to find the rack (although I have to admit that when I saw the title, I thought you were referring to the other kind of "rack" and thought this might be a thread about bras, LOL!).

If you are handy, you can actually make your own dress form using duct tape. This is cool because it's made exactly to your measurements. Then you can paint it or cover it with fabric. It was very popular for a while among knitters to do this, although I personally have not made one.

Here is one tutorial; there are a ton if you google "duct tape dress form".

Maybe this will give you an idea to try. I bought this wire rack from a company called "Store Supply". I ordered it online and with tax/shipping it was about $40. I use it for styling outfits, hanging up pictures and for creating artsy type stuff.

I use clothespins and binder clips to hold things on it. Shoes with a heel will hang from it so you can do a whole outfit. Works great for me and doesn't take up any floor space--it's sort of like having an ongoing art gallery on your wall!

Thanks, everyone, and, yes, Diana, you caught my funny little choice of words. These are excellent ideas and while I'm not a DIY'er, these do help me to think outside the box. Thanks again.
