This professional-grade mannequin by B&Q is designed for fashion students, home sewists, and professional tailors who require a reliable, pin-friendly surface for garment construction and fitting. Its primary benefit is the durable, high-density polystyrene torso that securely holds pins for intricate tailoring tasks; however, users should note that the fixed-dimension form does not offer adjustable sizing for different body types, requiring careful measurement before purchase.

The torso is a solid high-density polystyrene piece; it does not collapse, but the stand can be disassembled for storage.
While the polystyrene is durable, prolonged exposure to high heat and moisture from a steamer may affect the integrity of the foam surface.
Yes, the fitted cover can typically be washed on a gentle cycle; however, air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage.
Yes, a flexible, adjustable stand (55 to 73 inches) is included with the purchase.
Yes, the cover is designed to be thin enough to allow pins to pass through into the polystyrene torso underneath.
Tighten the mounting screw or tension collar located at the base of the torso connection point.
Ensure you are using sharp, high-quality dressmaker pins; dull pins may struggle to penetrate the high-density foam.
Check that the height adjustment knob is fully tightened and that the internal locking mechanism is clean of debris.
Assembly is straightforward: insert the torso onto the flexible stand and adjust the tension knob to lock the desired height. To care for your mannequin, always ensure the included fitted cover is applied when not in use to protect the surface from dust and light exposure. Avoid using overly rusted or bent pins, as these can create unnecessary holes in the polystyrene material. If the torso becomes dusty, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid using liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals directly on the foam surface, as these may degrade the material over time.
