Using a sewing mannequin to display your designs

A mannequin or a sewing form is an absolute must have if you plan on displaying jackets, dresses or tops for sale. I have seen some wonderful items on eBay that would have sold for higher prices if they were only displayed better in the photos.

Don't make a nice dress like this look cheap by hanging it over a door. If you don't have a mannequin then get a live model (a good looking one please). The dress will sell better if your customers have a better idea of what it looks like on a person.
