Why are all shop mannequins thin?

Answer 1

thin = less volume = less plastic = cheaper .... bigger = more volume = more plastic = expensive.

Answer 2

uve never been in evans...they're not thin in there

everywhere else its because they think thats how the clothes will look better

i worked in a clothes shop before, quite a popular highstreet one and the mannequins wore size 8 clothes and i came to notice that they had to be pinned together at the back because the clothes were too big! size 8 (UK) which i think is like a size 4 in america was too big on these mannequins...its not a gud way to promote

Answer 3

Probably because the society always thinks it's about small thin women whent it's really not. There's a higher percentage of big women in the world instead of thin but the world is making it look like there are more thin women than big.

Answer 4

Here is a double-standard;

MALE mannequins are now built to look like bodybuilders. Go to Sports Authority and look at the UnderArmor underware.

PS Underarmour is the BEST underware available. Male and female.

Answer 5

You can get different sized mannequins, but they often bought to fit a size 10 or 12, because it looks better.

Answer 6

Because unfortunately clothes look better on thin people and most shops don't bother to do big sizes.

Answer 7

The mannequins are thin because they have done away with eating all them donuts.

Answer 8

they are all thin, to make the clothes their wearing more appealing to the shopper. And the clothes are more and likely designed the smaller bodied person. It's all to create the illusion that the clothes look good on the person looking at them

Answer 9

More likely so all the fashionable clothes fit and look good in a shop window.

Answer 11

So that come midnight they can get through the cracks in the door and go out on the town to party. I think your media term for them is 'It girls'. I shoudn't worry about it too much, they are merely plastic and even trolls wouldn't look twice at such wand-like figures.
