OUR GUIDE ON DRESSING A MANNEQUIN

- Remove hands and arms first (unless they have a coat or jacket on)

- Once their top has been taken off, remove their torso and place it in a safe place.

- Dress the top half with whatever is going on the mannequin.

- Remove the legs, and turn them upside down so you can hold their feet.

- You can then remove or put on whatever bottoms are going on. if it is a skirt, there is no need to thurn the legs upside down, simply slip it on.

- Then, you'll want to put the shoes on.

- Once the bottom half is dressed, it can be placed back onto it's stand.

- As the top half is already dressed, you can also now place the torso back onto the legs.

- Put the arms back on now and if the mannequin is going to be wearing a jacket, pull the arms behind her and slip in before putting the hands back on.

- Once the hands are on, you the mannequin is dressed!

- This is the time to put on any jewellery or accessories that you want to add.

- Ensure the mannequin is tighly and safely secured to it's stand.
