Buying a mannequin - even a used one - can be expensive so here are some tips to make sure you buy the right mannequin for your needs. The tips in this guide are for full-bodied mannequins, not dress forms which are discussed in another guide.

Mannequins are called silent salespeople because they make products look more appealing. People always react better when they see clothing as it should be worn.

There are 4 basic styles of mannequins - Realistic, Abstract, Headless and Bendable. Realistic Mannequins have clearly defined facial features and wigs styled in life-like hair styles. This is the style of mannequin used in the windows of high-end retail stores such as Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.

Realistic mannequins are like Supermodels - a little high maintenance but their striking presence causes people to look and take notice.

Some realistic mannequins - the more expensive ones - are fiberglass sculptures of actual real-life supermodels. You can get more versatility out of a realistic mannequin by putting different style wigs on it, which dramatically alters their "personality." However maintaining the hair and make-up on a realistic mannequin can be time-consuming and if it does not stay contemporary looking it can "age" the mannequin. Unless you are selling vintage clothing, this is not a good thing.

Abstract Mannequins - There are several styles of abstract mannequins. There are ones with vaguely realistic facial features with hair that is either sculpted or painted on. Their facial features can either have a futuristic, space age look or have timeless classic features that transcend any era. This style mannequin is found at Ralph Lauren and Niketown.

Another style of abstract mannequin is the "egghead," a mannequin with a smooth oval head and no defined facial features. And lastly there are "art" mannequins, abstract mannequins with comical or whimsical faces and are often limited edition pieces designed by notable artists or designers such as Maira Kalman, Andree Putnam, Jeffrey Fulvimari and Anna Sui. This style mannequin is popular with cutting edge boutiques and people who want mannequins as art pieces instead of merely a vehicle to display clothing.

As the name implies - headless mannequins - do not have a head, they stop at the neck. The neck might be elongated, a straight cut or have a decorative element on top. There are two schools of thought regarding the anonymous nature of a headless mannequin. Some believe that headless mannequins are good because they direct customers to look at the clothing, instead of possibly being distracted by the persona of the mannequin. Banana Republic and The Gap use headless mannequins in their windows.

Others believe headless mannequins make it harder for people to visualize or fantasize themselves in the clothing. Vendors who want to accessorize their clothing with hats or earrings obviously cannot use a headless mannequin. Headless mannequins are typically less expensive to buy than a mannequin with a head and they are easier to maintain because there is no hair or make-up that must be tended to. This is why headless mannequins are extremely popular both with on and offline vendors. Some online sellers turn a headless female mannequin around backwards and use the mannequin to photograph men's shirts - that is really stretching your visual merchandising dollars!

Bendable mannequins are usually a wire frame that is stuffed with a sponge type filling and then covered in a canvas or jersey material. All of their joints - unlike the mannequins mentioned above - are bendable. This style of mannequin was popularized by The Baby Gap and Gymboree.

Although bendable mannequins come in all sizes 90% of the bendable mannequins on the market are used to display children's clothing, not adult clothing. Bendable mannequins can either have a head with no facial features or if they are headless, they have a removable hat attachment.


How much do mannequins cost?

You can find high-end and low-end versions of each of these mannequin styles, just as with automobiles there are Mercedes and there a Hyundai's. A realistic mannequin with a head from a manufacturer known for superb craftsmanship and style will cost $750-$1200. A realistic mannequin imported from China will cost $350-$500.

Headless mannequins range from $150-$550. Bendable mannequins range from $50 for an infant size to $300 and up for an adult. Brand name mannequins cost more because they are actually fiberglass sculptures of real life humans and many of the steps involved in creating them are done by hand. They have details such as sculpted hands and feet, eyelashes, spinal cord, protruding ribs, nipples and fluid looking poses. This level of detail is why brand name mannequins look so lifelike and are so durable.

In our mannequin rental business, the brand name mannequins are our workhorses than can withstand a lot of abuse. Less expensive knock offs, made in Taiwan, China, Korea and Vietnam are made by machines and resemble life-sized dolls and have stiff poses. If you need a mannequin infrequently or are putting a costume on it, then an expensive mannequin is a good value.

If your mannequin is going to be in a store window, the less expensive mannequins tend to turn yellow from the UV rays or shrink around the wrist joints because of the heat. Frequently the fittings that connect the hands to the arms are not as well made as the high-end mannequins. So in time they will stretch out and create a gap at the wrist, which makes the hands a little floppy.

Sometimes you you might pay more for a used mannequin from one manufacturer than you would for a brand new mannequin that is a knock off version of it. It is like buying a used, but genuine Luis Vuitton bag at a vintage store compared to buying a brand new fake Luis Vuitton from a retailer. For tips on buying a used mannequin, refer to my guide - Buying a Used Mannequin? Get Smart about Buying Dummies.

As a rule of thumb the more expensive the items you are selling, the better the quality of mannequin you should use. For example the type of mannequin you will see at a JC Penney or Mervyn's is different that what you'd see at Saks or Nordstrom. People expect a high level of visual appeal when the merchandise is pricey.

Here are some of brands to look for if you want mannequins with superior craftsmanship and quality - Rootstein; Patina V; Ralph Pucci; Hindsgaul; Greneker; Silvestri and New John Nissan

Jewelry has been around since before the history books were being written. There have even been cave drawings found that depict items wrapped around necks and wrists of the people. Trends in jewelry have changed drastically throughout the centuries and styles have developed in line with the times. Materials have also changed with different cultures using various metals and stones to create their masterpieces.

The first creation of jewelry as we know it today was created by the ancient Egyptians. When mummies were pulled from the pyramids, especially the likes of King Tut, the array of priceless jewelry was astonishing. There were gold necklaces, pendants, bangles and collars. Egyptians were very fond of big, bulky jewelry embellished with natural stones and symbols of their culture. Egyptian royalty have been thought to wear lavish collar-like necklaces, armbands, rings - just about anything they could fit on their body at one time to make sure their status was clear.

By the time of the ancient Greeks, tastes in jewelry had changed dramatically. The Greeks preferred more delicate pieces than the heavy, chunky jewelry of the Egyptians. The people of Greece shaped their metals into shapes that related to their cultural and spiritual beliefs, often times associated with nature like flowers and insects. Precious gemstones were also used by the Greeks. They enjoyed using stones like emeralds, amethyst and pearls. Their clothing was very light and airy and their accessories matched that style. Women wore very delicate, feminine pieces.

During the Renaissance times of old England, pearls really were making their mark. Pearls were a symbol of high royalty and wealth and only those in high society wore them. Women would don themselves from head to toe in pearls. Queen Elizabeth was known for her passion for pearls and was often painted wearing them. Jewelry in this time was very bold and flashy. Everything during this period in history was a status symbol and there was no better way to show that status than through jewelry.

Once the early 20th century rolled around, high fashion designers like Coco Chanel and Kokichi Mikimoto were making their mark on the jewelry world. During these fun, carefree times, costume jewelry was very popular. Many women mixed their real, valuable jewelry with their cheaper baubles. In the 1920's, the flappers were known for wearing their long strands of pearls, brooches and feathers. Once World War II came around, popularity of jewelry dropped because metal was rationed out for use in weapons and ammunition.

Once the war was over, jewelry came back with a vengeance. Precious metals like golds and silvers soared in popularity and sparkling gemstones were all the rage. Even the sweet housewives of the 1950's were often depicted wearing their strands of pearls with their aprons. These were the decades when celebrity influence really began. Celebrities on the red carpets at awards shows had a huge influence on jewelry fashion trends. The same is true today, no matter how the trends change celebrities are always at the helm. To stay on the cutting edge of fashion, all we have to do is turn to the red carpets.

Face painting has been in trend since olden days. It is considered as an entertainment during carnivals, family gatherings, wedding functions, parties and corporate events. Face Painting requires a perceptive mind, a bit of patience, a box of face paints, some brushes and a willing theme.

Face painting ideas take place in enthusiastic forms like tattoo ideas to general country flag ones. The amazing ones are seen during carnival times or certain theme parties. Nowadays, "do-it-yourself" guides to face painting are available in the local markets. They are easy, low-priced and suitable for face painting.

Glitter can add an entire new look to your face and is an excellent face-painting idea. It can transform your face-paintings for amateur to expert. It can be inexpensive, if you know where to buy them, and it is very easy to apply. They work much better with princess and fantasy themes and kids simply love them. As with face paints, you need to remember using glitter and stick-on jewels that are harmless to put on human skin.

Costumes and face-painting is also a good idea. Searching plain costumes is the key to this favourite-of-all free face-painting ideas. It is not required to go and spend a huge amount of money. You may use a pair of bunny ears to go with a bunny design or a tiara to go with a princess. You can also use a black cape to go with a vampire design or a stocking filled with newspaper, pinned on the end of your t-shirt to look like a tale to match a tiger design or an old socks or stocking stuffed with tissues, magazine pages, or newspaper to look like a tail for a monkey, tiger or lion.

Body painting is another exhilarating and exciting idea. It is a great idea for the kids because it makes them feel like they are having fun with the role that has been painted on their body. Whether it is a king or a witch, this idea is a "no fail", when it comes to rewarding youngsters and kids.

You may use professional face paints. There are cheaper face paints in the market but the professional makes are much easier to paint with. They apply with ease, give higher quality coverage and have lively colours. They make your designs much more striking and become much more comfortable for the wearer.

Some of the favourite designs with girls include princess, fantasy, fairy, rainbow and bunny/rabbit, whilst robot, pirate, tiger, spider or spider web are amongst the most popular designs liked by boys. Get into the Halloween pumpkin dress and use some orange effects for the face. To maintain the simple effect, go for elaborate eye and eyebrow colours and keep the other features safe and sound.

Be a Dracula or get a fake scratch mark. Be a kitten or a violent tiger. Go peculiar or be in the ethnic style. Match your arm tattoo or yet again go for the shoulder and face painting. Torso or paintings on one arm can also be attractive.
