Inside our store, you can find exactly what you’re looking for to equip yours!
The Mannequins
The mannequins we feature in our store are made from high-quality materials and textiles. They are durable, functional and good-looking. That makes them a worthy investment in the future success of your retail business. In fact, according to a research paper done by N. Anitha and C. Selvaraj about “The Effects of Mannequins on Consumers’ Perception and Shopping Attitude”:
“Mannequins impact customers by giving them a look to aspire to. Mannequins are great for showing just how certain garments can be worn. According to the results, consumers seem to have a more positive perception of color display, design, and appearance. Consumers that perceive the displays positively feel that mannequins create a new sense and lifestyle by providing complete visualization.”
Moreover, by the end of 2018, the global retail apparel and footwear industry reached $2 trillion. That makes the retail sector one of the most striving business fields of today. Mannequins are first and foremost a retail marketing tool. They present your collection pieces in the best light and make your store alluring to customers. Therefore, you should consider treating mannequins as one of the fundamental investments in your retail business.
Numerous studies show mannequins boost sales. For example, owners that display mannequins in their stores naturally generate bigger profits than owners that don’t. The reason behind this is quite simple as well, and it goes to the engaging aesthetics technique. In fact, one of the main components of the fashion industry is the visual one, so everything that enhances the way clothing looks should be considered.
Furthermore, mannequins improve the customer experience. Mannequins enrich the empty spaces in the store and make them look complete. Plus, they also guide the shoppers through the different sections in the boutique. They are useful for promoting new collections and make it easier for the buyer to decide what to try on.
There is a reason mannequins have been the leading tool for fashion promotion in almost every store since the beginning of the 19th century.
To make it easier for you, we have created a whole assortment structure that allows you to browse only through the mannequins you’re interested in the most.

The Dressing Forms
Another highly useful item you can find in the Mannequin Mall store is the dress form mannequin. We offer so many different dress forms you can choose from, depending on your tailoring needs. For example, one of our best sellers is the professional dress form, because of its high-quality, sturdy construction and soft, durable fabrics that can withstand constant pinning.
Dress forms can be used in more than one way. Most of the high-end boutiques have been displaying dress forms like mannequins for the last century, giving them an additional allure of high fashion. These are not regular dress forms you use for work. On the contrary, they are an invitation behind the scene of the fashion world. It’s the Coco Chanel legacy mixed with French glamour and sophistication.
On the other hand, if you’re a seamstress or a tailor that’s looking for something a little bit sturdier, then you should focus on the dress forms that offer flexibility and durability. Moreover, dress forms are essential in a sewing room. Designers have been using them for tailoring, dressmaking or in the garment industry for centuries.
These are the instances you’re probably going to need a dress form for:
-
Marking hems on your pieces, especially if you’re sawing dresses and skirts
-
If you’re working with clients and you need an approximation of their body to prepare the rough fit, which you will modify later in the process
-
Patternmaking or draping
-
Fashion design classes
-
Fashion photography — although for this we would recommend the invisible mannequin
-
Holding and altering fashion garments
-
Customizing off the rack clothing
However, we do have some advice to share when it comes to dressing forms because they are a delicate purchase, and you should be sure of the measurements before you order one. Mannequin Mall does have a return policy and guarantees, but it will be simpler for you to be sure of the measurements before you buy a dress form.
As a professional seamstress or a tailor, always use an adjustable dress form because it will allow you more freedom during the sawing process. Of course, you can still use additional padding, but that should be an occasional hack. Everyone has a different body, which translates to different measurements, and an adjustable dress form is handy for that.
The other thing we would recommend is for you to consider a dress form with collapsible shoulders. They make the whole fitting process easier because most dress forms with collapsible shoulders allow you to push the shoulders in about four inches on each side. They are a “must” if you’re working with tighter-fitting garments.
As with the mannequins above, we sorted out the dressing forms according to the following categories to make it simple for you to find the dressing form you need:
