Ya they're actually not fat, and normal sized. The one on the left is a size 6 and the one on the right is a size 10. What do you think of this? Personally I like it because I am a size 10.

    I like them. They have a shape. It's important to me to know what clothing would look like on someone with hips, and most mannequins sure lack them.

    It's a good start... now if they could get a fuller figured one with a bit of a tummy too, that would be awesome as well.

    Love it and wish they would do it here in the US, but I doubt they ever will (well, on a widespread scale). It makes me sick that people consider Size 10 to be "fat."

    Looks good to me. But this reminds me of going shopping in the men's department with my SO. I pointed out that a lot of the male mannequins had beer bellies and he said "well that's because they are made to look real" and I was like "why real men can't have abs?!" So I addressed how womens mannequins are not done realistically and he said "well women are different" he basically was saying women want to see something they can't obtain, to this day he swears he didn't mean it like that :)


    So when I saw this was titled fat man equines I figured it was the male mannequins... they really are not attractive. Sort of remind me of charlie sheen in a polo shirt

    I had a friend post this on FB tonight and there is a bit of controversy. I like it but I don't like the attention it was getting. She was saying it looked realistic........Okay, when I was a size 10 my stomach didn't look like that (like I had worked out for forever, I had rolls) and my face wasn't thin.....basically I didn't look healthy, I looked frumpy. I think it is fine to portray a healthy looking bigger person but I believe we should emphasize to people that big isn't always great, just like thin, isn't alway's great. We should emphasize that a healthy (eating right and active size 10) is good.

    Yeah... that is what I was thinking.

    Love them! They would probably flatter some clothes more than the stick thin ones!

    Mannequins are creepy :frown: but its good that they aren't a size 0 (I am a dude and I don't know the difference between sizes for women but a size 0 sounds super small) :embarassed:

    " So I addressed how womens mannequins are not done realistically and he said "well women are different" he basically was saying women want to see something they can't obtain,

    There might be something to what your SO said.. Some women's magazine (can't remember which) lost money when they featured average-sized women on the cover, so they switched back to typical models.

    I like the size 10 mannequin, nice shapely figure.

    I gotta admit, kinda hurt my feelings a little bit to hear a size 6 described as "fat"
    It must be my lady hormones making me emotional.

    The size 10 is very similar to my body type, except my thighs are a bit meatier

    ^^ This. A size 6 is 'fat' now? In what universe? I don't think the size 10 is fat for that matter.

    These are UK size 10? I don't think anyone would consider size 10 fat tbh. I am size 10/12 and I is to do with body shape as much as anything what you look like. Wish I had that much boob though..mine is non existent!

    Think the mannequins look great though, the unrealistic ones might just as well be hangars

    About time Im a 10 currently but my normal size is a 6 or 4 at my ideal wieght,even at 10 though Im not what would be considered big anyone would say I was needs thier vision checked.Its kind of nice to see manneqiuns in different sizes I ocassionally even see ones in wheelchairs I thought that was nice since people have disabilities out there.Why shouldn't it represent differences .Good job may be here in the us we can see it too.
