FAQs
Can I use this mannequin to press garments?
We recommend against using a steam iron directly on the torso as the heat may damage the high-density polystyrene material.
Does the torso come in different sizes?
Yes, Display Guru offers various sizes ranging from UK 6-8 up to 18-20, though each mannequin is a fixed-size form.
Is the torso fabric-covered?
The torso is crafted from high-density polystyrene, providing a sturdy surface specifically optimized for pin-holding.
Can I remove the thistle finial?
The finial is designed as part of the decorative aesthetic and is not intended to be removed for daily use.
What is the exact height range of the stand?
The stand is telescopically adjustable to accommodate a variety of standing and seated working heights; please see your specific model's total reach after assembly.
Troubleshooting
Mannequin feels wobbly
Ensure the silver wooden base is placed on a completely flat, hard floor and check that the mounting screw at the base of the pole is tightened.
Torso height slips during use
Check the locking mechanism on the stand pole. Ensure it is fully tightened after adjusting to your preferred height.
Pins are becoming loose
Avoid inserting pins into the same hole repeatedly. If the foam begins to lose density in a high-traffic area, try shifting your pinning location slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the mannequin, connect the base pole to the round wooden stand and slide the torso onto the pole until it clicks into the desired height setting. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe down the red torso to remove dust or fabric fibers; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may react with the synthetic material. Ensure the mannequin is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent wobbling during draping. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration of the red finish.
