Apparatuses and methods for securing the train of a dress, for example a bridal dress, in a raised position are disclosed herein. A reclosable pin (10) having a curved point portion (20) passing through the bodice of a dress is also disclosed. The pin, when in the closed position, forms a closed loop having a tapered shape such that the closed loop is narrowest adjacent to the base portion (12).

Aspects herein are directed to a support garment testing system comprising a torso form having a motion tracking sensor associated with one or more breast structures of the torso form. A support garment is secured to the torso form, and the torso form is mounted on a motion platform that, when actuated, causes displacement of the breast structures. The amount of displacement is measured by the sensor, and the data is used to assign a level of support provided by the support garment.

Provided is an intelligent breast adjustment model. The model includes a model main structure provided with a pressure sensor and a model periphery structure provided on the model main structure. The model main structure includes an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion. A first motor of the middle portion controls an up and down movement of a left breast model through a first gear. A second motor of the middle portion controls an up and down movement of a right breast model through a second gear, and a third motor of the middle portion simultaneously controls a left and right movement of the left breast model and the right breast model through a drive structure. A method for assembling the intelligent breast adjustment model is disclosed.

A robotic mannequin including a frame and shells that are movable with respect to the frame. The plurality of shells has at least one set of articulated shells including at least one first shell and a second shell, kinematically coupled through a first kinematic connection authorizing a rotation. It includes at least one actuator configured to apply a movement of translation to one among at least the first shell, the second shell, or the first kinematic connection.

The present application discloses a mannequin. The mannequin includes: a torso, upper limbs on both sides of the torso and a yawing device used for regulating the lateral swing of the upper limb being arranged at the joint between the upper limb and the torso. An upper limb fixing seat is arranged at the root of the upper limb. The yawing device includes: a yawing bracket hinged with the top of the upper limb fixing seat and a regulating piece with an inner end movable relative to the bottom of the yawing bracket. The outer end of the regulating piece being fixedly connected with the yawing bracket, and the movement of the regulating piece is used to drive the top of the upper limb fixing seat to swing relative to the yawing bracket, such that the upper limb is driven to swing.

A body-size-adjustable dressmaker form includes a central-support adjusting system, a neck adjusting system, a chest adjusting system, a waist adjusting system, a hip adjusting system, an arm adjusting system, a base and an upper-body outer housing. The chest adjusting system, the waist adjusting system and the hip adjusting system each include a multi-axis synchronous co-directional adjusting device and an adjusting knob. The central-support adjusting system includes an upper-body support assembly provided with mounting positions adapted to the multi-axis synchronous co-directional adjusting devices. Each multi-axis synchronous co-directional adjusting device includes a telescopic structural member connected with the adjusting knob. Multiple housing units are sequentially connected to form the upper-body outer housing, and the multiple housing units are connected with the telescopic structural members respectively. When the adjusting knob is rotated, the telescopic structural members drive the housing units to move close to or away from each other.
