Ok......who is tired of trying to go shopping for clothes (not that its fun to begin with), you look at the outfit that is on the mannequin and think "That is really cute" SOOO.....you try it on and say to yourself, "Why did it look so good on the mannequin and it looks terrible on me???"
Well, have you ever seen the size of the mannequins?? They are like a size 0. It's so small that they have to tie the shirt back to even fit the mannequin.
It's ridiculous!! You wonder why there are people out there with eating disorders, low self esteem..etc.
I think they need to make them a little more realistic!!!:explode:

Thanks for letting me vent!!

    Some mannequins are larger :smile: I worked at an Old Navy for 3 years and ALWAYS had to dress the mannequins. The female ones are usually a size 6, sometimes they need an 8. It's encouraging to see stores with larger mannequins :drinker:

    lol I see plus size mannequins in almost ALL the stores I shop in. Funny I also noticed this week that the mannequins seem to fit the size of the department these days i.e. petite-petite, tall/tall. Tell your mannequns to eat something already tee-hee:laugh:

    That is funny because that is one of the stores I went to today and the mannequin was teeeny tiny.
    It had this little skimpy bathing suit on..I guess that's why it was so small:ohwell:
    But it is nice to know that they are making mannequins in a larger size..it's about time!!:wink:
