Check out the back of all of the mannequins when you are shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-talbots-cheat#post-485554 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:04:34 +0000 Isis 485554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so Talbots does not cheat! Maybe it's because the mannequins are not moving....Interesting, I never noticed before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-talbots-cheat#post-485551 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:01:31 +0000 Queen Mum 485551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL stores do that with clothes on their mannequins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-talbots-cheat#post-485549 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:01:11 +0000 Amy 485549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of stores do that. Models often have their clothes clipped in the back. I have a friend who reports news on TV, and their stylists often clip her clothes in the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-talbots-cheat#post-485543 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:55:48 +0000 Isis 485543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a bunch of knit tops from Talbots during the T-giving sale (thanks for the alert, Claudia!)</p> <p>I ordered a bunch of sizes, but I had to return almost everything as Talbots does not fit me well. When the shoulders and arms fit, the middle is too blousey. I did keep a sequin top that I love, and I'm probably going to keep another top that drapes well. But everything else was too boxy.</p> <p>When I was returning items in the store, I noticed that the mannequins had their tops pinned in the back, to create an hourglass, fitted shape! It's sort of deceptive, isn't it? (or maybe all stores do that, perhaps mannequins have Barbie-doll dimensions....hmmmm).</p> <p>Anyway, I did learn that, in general, Talbots is not a good fit for my shape... </p>
