Physical Alvaform

The Alvaform is the ideal fit tool designed to accurately represent the size and shape of your customer, sculpted in 3D by experts who understand human anatomy and physiology.

Off-The-Rack

Our Off-the-Rack collection includes forms that are available as-is. The forms are based on sizing standards developed by us, for you. Our expert consultants and master modelers develop our Standards based on real data pulled from more than tens of thousands of body scans from international populations, collaborations with respected research and standards organizations around the globe, and human anatomy.

THE MAKES

We offer three different Makes for our AlvaForms to meet the varying needs across the industry:

Classic

The Classic Make is the traditional, industry-standard dress form. A hard internal shell covered with two layers of cotton ribs. The outer layer is finished with a highly durable covering.

This make is best suited for frequent fit sessions.

Soft

The Soft Make is built on an internal skeleton, filled with memory foam, and wrapped with a highly durable covering. It simulates the feel and properties of soft human tissue.

It is ideal for designing tight fitting clothing and undergarments.

Tailor

The Tailor Make is a versatile alternative to the Classic Make. It is made of an internal shell, covered with a thick layer of felt, and topped with a highly durable covering.

This Make is ideal for brands who drape everyday. It is only available as a Customized Form.

We offer a comprehensive selection of AlvaForm Styles in addition to the Full Body.
