Thanks everyone for sharing your mannequin stripping stories both good and bad, and especially to Christieanne and JJ for the insider scoop! Sounds like overall most stores are accommodating to us stripping their mannequins and that the most proper protocol would be to ask for assistance, especially if it's clothing we're after. I will say that I'm not-so-secretly glad I didn't ask in this case because, well, I would have been mightily crushed if they'd said no
Zap, I hope you have better luck with future stripping missions! ^^
Sarah A, I've heard that there are ladies who do that but haven't ever known any myself. If it works for her, more power to her! I know there are also people that will buy separates, come up with the outfit they wish to wear it in, and then hang that full outfit up in their closet. I would be very intrigued to see one of those closets!
Laura, hah! That does paint a very amusing picture, I would imagine on meetup shopping trips those poor mannequins won't even know what hit 'em And YES about the Chiclets! My sis immediately commented that she wanted to eat my necklace when she saw it, and now that makes a lot more sense!
