Mine is a 1920s vintage jobbie. Hermione Ginky-Old by name.
She has that boyish flapper silhouette, flat chest and backside. What's more she was a perfect match for me when I acquired her.
Now, ha. But she is very usable to work on the drape of a neckline and getting shoulders right. Also to put fabrics together if you're doing "wearable art" garments with multiple fabrics. You pin things in proportion, step back and walk past it for a few days. Works very well.
