If a retail outlet carried several lines, how would that work? I'm hoping that the author is not arguing for the reverse; if a company's actual clothes are to be re-worked and shaped so they are a better fit on the mannequins I currently see in the stores, I'm in big trouble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-models-with-pinned-clothing#post-953370 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:13:03 +0000 chewyspaghetti 953370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you've ever dressed a mannequin, you will understand why the mannequin has to be smaller than the clothing. I hate to make it that simple, but the models in the lookbook or on the website, or in the signage are also wearing altered clothing. If you expect to walk into a store and have things fit like they do on the mannequin, you will most likely be disappointed, since most of us are not the exact same size/shape as a mannequin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-models-with-pinned-clothing#post-953132 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:25:45 +0000 Thistle 953132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read. Would be awesome if they would start using mannequins in their size small! No need to pin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-models-with-pinned-clothing#post-953056 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 06:15:28 +0000 Deborah 953056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read but so disappointing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-models-with-pinned-clothing#post-952926 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:12:56 +0000 lyn* 952926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely outsized at BR, it makes me a little sad.
