Bauman Dress forms c. 1951 and 1955

I am currently cleaning up two of my old dress forms that have been idling in the cellar for years. I dealt with the rust on the metal sections and now I am making new covers out of a nylon (or maybe polyester?) warp knit imitation suede with no stretch to speak of in the lengthwise direction but some give in the cross.

Size 14 1/2 done!
