Mannequins Designed by Machine
Ever notice that most mannequins look a bit like Barbie or He-man? A Janice Wang has come up with mannequins scans of bodies of the target consumers. Her company will offer a mix of products and service. In addition to the more accurate physiques of her models, she will tell clients exactly what shapes and sizes are needed to match the demographics where the clothing will be selling. This could be yet another advantage for ready-to-wear clothing over tailor-made.
No matter how many mannequins if the quality of the fabric and the care of the stitching is below good standards. Mannequins deal with the cutting side.
But this is a good idea, if not too expensive to make, for the custom made crowd just as shoe moulds have always been used for good custom shoes of long-term customers.
I work for http://www.lvmannequins.com and think this is a great idea. We love to see mannequins be more realistic then having another skinny model
