When the correct adjustments are secured it automatically locks itself and cannot work loose while the garment is being fitted. It also has ratchet adjustments that permit of its being used for women irregular in measurement.

The lower part is a heavy steel wire, and the whole form is mounted on an extension stand on casters. All metal parts are nickel plated except iron stand.
