Hi there,
I would like to buy a dress form for my sewing projects but have no clue what it is called in german. Is anyone of you out there a Sewing goddess/god? I would really appreciate your help!
And it would be fantastic if you could tell me where I can get hold of one at a good price.
Thanks
Kim

It's called a Schneiderpuppe (if you're talking about what I think you're talking about--- that maniquin type thing, right?).
Edit:
Here's a website dedicate to them.

In german is called: Schaufensterpuppe.
You could probably find one at a second hand shop, like Weisser Rabe, they have 3 shops in München:
GebrauchtWarenHaus Sendling, Bavariastraße 30-36, Tel.: 089 / 74 74 68 - 0
GebrauchtWarenHaus Pasing, Landsberger Straße 444, Tel.: 089 / 889 493 - 0
GebrauchtWarenHaus Neuperlach, Marieluise-Fleißer-Bogen 9, Tel.: 089 / 490 534 - 03
Good luck!

WOW! They are expensive! They seem to be a lot cheaper in the States!
I'm actually looking for a toddler size one (3 to 6 years old).

You could always consider adoption

JUST KIDDING!

Bought my Schneiderpuppe at eBay for 29€. They have different sizes, be attentive.
