Caption
1. This is a FLEXFORM...an up-to-the-minute, modern machine used for re-shaping dresses and formals to their original size and shape. Dials, on the face of the equipment illustrated, are set to the exact measurements taken of the garment before cleaning, then, the garment is put on the FLEXFORM and every part of the dress is brought back to its original size and shape by means of moisture controlled steam and hot air forced up through the garment from the base of the machine. 2. MEASURING CHART - Used to measure garments before cleaning process if they are to be shaped by FLEXFORM after cleaning. 3. DRESS FASHIONER - This machine - a very modern piece of equipment - is used only to finish certain special garments. It operates in the same manner as the FLEXFORM but, does not have the sizing effect. 4. TROUSER-FORMR - This machine plays a highly important part in the reshaping and forming of certain dry cleaned trousers. Without the use of this FORMR most pants would not look right nor fit the body properly.
