ABSTRACT:
A clothing form or mannequin comprising a laminar construction spine including left and right outer spine sections and a central spine section, which are of laminar form and in profile are generally similar to the side profile of a human spine. A plurality of spaced parallel slots extend inwardly from the forward-facing edges of the spine sections, which slots are identically located in each of the spine sections so as to be in registration when the spine sections are positioned side-by-side so as to define a plurality of sets of aligned slots. A flat modular lamina is positioned in each slot at a right angle to the spine. The laminae are configured to resemble cross-sections of a human torso at different positions along the length of a human spine, each of the laminae corresponding to a specific one of the sets of slots in the spine sections, so that the laminae as positioned in the spine give the appearance of a stylized human torso. The rearward-facing edges of the laminae have a generally rectangular notch formed therein, and the notches are dimensioned to mate with the portion of the spine sections to the rear of their corresponding sets of slots. A superficial skin formed of a tube of an elastic material can be stretched over the laminae, to give the clothing form a more realistic appearance.
