Oh dear, thanks for the praise, I wasn't fishing for compliments, it was
just... Well, that's another story. But anyway, here's the link for the
thermo dress form:

I thought it was something quite common, after all the idea is intriguing.
The whole thing comes with a cover of black jersey, so pinning things to it
wouldn't be a problem. Let me know what you think...

Oh, yes, the adjustable wire one. The good thing is that they adjust
easily. The bad thing is that they adjust easily. Meaning that it's
very easy to adjust them without meaning to do so.

I almost certain my mother had one of those, or something
very similar, back in the 50s. I don't recall that she used
it much, even though she sewed professionally.

Oh, I thought that they could only be adjusted when warmed so that you can't
adjust them by mistake. Thought is was a new material, not just plain old
wire. I've seem something about wire that can only be formed when it has a
certain temperature and then has some sort of memory. ;-) I'll check that
out, I'll mail to them. If the dratted thing changes its shape every time I
try to pin or drape something on it, they can keep it.

You may be right. It has been a long time since I've seen one of those,
and it wasn't plastic. It's entirely possible that they've taken the
old design - which had much going for it - and updated it with space-age
plastics, which weren't available way back then. I hope you are right.
