Product Information

Full details

The Display Guru Male Tailors Dummy is designed for tailors, dressmakers, fashion designers, and retailers seeking a reliable tool for garment creation and presentation. Its primary benefit is a smooth, pinnable polystyrene surface on a stable, adjustable tripod stand, allowing for effortless draping and accurate fitting. A potential caveat is its specific size (40), which may not suit all garment types or measurements without adjustments. Key features include a lightweight yet durable construction, an adjustable tripod base, and a protective dust cover.

How do I clean the mannequin?

Troubleshooting

Mannequin is wobbly on the stand.

Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and locked in place. Check that the mannequin torso is securely seated on the tripod's mounting point. Adjust the stand's feet if the floor is uneven.

Pins do not hold fabric firmly.

Ensure you are using appropriate pins for fabric weights. The polystyrene surface is designed for standard dressmaker pins; very heavy fabrics might require longer or stronger pins.

Surface is marked or dirty.

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Ensure the surface is dry before use.
