We are refreshing our military display at the Museum and are in need of dress forms (just the torso) men's or women's on a sturdy base (many of the uniforms are pure wool and very heavy). If the form has the ability to be raised or lowered that would be a plus. We only have need for adult sizes. Please look in your nooks, crannies and attics. You might have one hidden or neglected that would love a new home at the Washburn County Historical Museum. Contact us through facebook or call and leave a message on our phone 715-468-2982. We appreciate your help and support.
