Suzanne's Fashion Designing Set

I'm always on the look-out for vintage mannequins, and I see these these neat 1940's doll dress design mini-mannequins around occasionally, so I finally picked one up. A fun mailer box holds this 12 1/2" Latexture Products Inc. NYC lady, as well as a helpful pamphlet and assorted dress making material leftovers via the previous owner. Children probably had a blast creating their own doll fashions, not to mention learning a few things that likely proved rewarding in later life. This particular fashion mannequin was sold at Stix, Baer and Fuller department stores here in STL, a now defunct chain where my grandmother spent over half a century working until she retired.
