How Do I Dress My Mannequin?

The whole mannequin can be lifted off the base by the foot (taking care not to let the torso seperate from the waist) which has a metal pole insert in it. You need to ensure that you have the mannequin at the correct angle when putting it together so the metal glides smoothly into the fittings. On some mannequins the thigh is twisted 45 degrees to enable it to drop down which enables easy removal of the mannequin from the stand for dressing. On most mannequins the arms lift at the shoulder and 'click out' and 'click in'. Some mannequins also have screw in hands that are a push fit for easy dressing.
