We start with our patented inflatable store mannequin (well, okay, probably any sex doll will do, but it needs to have a non-stick surface).
We soak the latest fashions in starch, then arrange them naturally on the mannequin. Once they are dry, we deflate the mannequin and remove. We attach a
support to the discreet wire hanger left behind in the clothes, and display.
Voilà, clothes "hanging" from an invisible mannequin (see illustration).

Focussing on cool picture--trying to not imagine a sex doll with a sticky surface. |

+, but I haven't seen laundry starch for many years. |

Thank you DrC for one of the best laughs I've had in a long, long time. For some reason this idea got me giggling and I couldn't stop until I laughed out loud. Don't know exactly why, though. I guess so many mental pictures, double entendres, and just plain bad jokes raced through my mind. |
|

BTW, am I paranoid or is that invisible dummy over there giving me the finger? |
|
| |
nice idea. haven't shops used headless dummies in the past? |
|
| |
I've seen plenty of store mannequins made of clear acrylic. |
|
| |
[angel] I think that was the point - you could see them. |
|

Do you also go by the name of Eurydice, [DrCurry]? |

I don't see what you are talking about.

Transparently fabricated. |

These are very, very widely used here in
the UK to model footwear. |

Definate bun for this one (+) mannequins freak me out |
|

Can we use this technique in the underwear department to show how to "go commando"? |
|

Try to sell red shoes in that store. ** I'm melting, melllting. ** |
|

[fridge duck]: Yes, that was rather my point as well. |

Dr. Curry posts ideas only once in a blue moon. I am happy only once in a blue moon. + |

Brilliant! My wife is a manager for a thrift store, and one of her employees is in charge of assembling sets for mannequins. She just might love this concept. |
|
| |
+ Tres cool. I'm imagining a high ceiling with table and chairs suspended, and an ensemble of invisible party guests above. Don't look up. |
