We've had a few questions about sizing and measurements this week, so we'd like to introduce you to our adventurous mannequin, Dolores!
Dolores has classic curves, with a 34" bust, 24" waist and 34" hips. She is, as you may have noticed, a little on the headless side at the moment, but if she did have one she would come to somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9".
We try to offer a good solid range of sizes, and as accommodating as Dolores is, she's just not going to fit everything! Items that are too big for her are usually pinned to hang properly on her frame, and we try to keep the proportions intact- for example, if we've pinned the waist in by one inch, we try to pin in the bust and hip by one inch too so the actual shape of the garment isn't misleading.
And for items that are too small? Often Dolores will fit in them for a front view as long as we leave the back zipper open, and the back view will be shown on a hanger.
The biggest challenge for Dolores is jumpsuits- we like to think about what she's got, not what she's lacking, but the fact is that without legs, pants are especially tricky. Jumpsuits are sometimes pinned flat on the front, and sometimes maneuvered up the post.
Any other questions about sizes? Email or call us, we're happy to help.
