How do I clean the mannequin?

Clean the polystyrene bust with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the material.

What sizes are available?

The mannequin is available in several UK sizes, including UK Size 6/8, 8/10, 10/12, 12/14, 16/18, and 18/20. Please refer to the product description for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Mannequin is wobbly

Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and locked in place. Check that the bust is securely fitted onto the stand's pole. Place the mannequin on a flat, stable surface.

Pins do not hold fabric securely

Ensure you are using appropriate sewing pins for polystyrene. Avoid pushing pins too deeply or at sharp angles that could damage the bust material.

Height adjustment is stiff

Gently move the height adjustment mechanism. If it remains stiff, check for any obstructions or debris in the pole mechanism. Lubrication is generally not recommended for polystyrene contact points.

Bust material is damaged

Minor surface scratches can sometimes be buffed out gently. For significant damage, consider the affected area's impact on pinning ability. Repair kits for polystyrene may be an option for minor imperfections.
