So I came across this article today and I have to say, that I am pretty happy that this store is displaying mannequins with a more realistic body type. What do you think about these mannequins? When I used to work at Express our mannequins only wore a size 0 or a 2 and yes there are plenty of women out there in this size but it's nice to represent other sizes as well. I will also say that when we had our clearance sales, there was always an abundance of those sizes becuase more customers were shopping in the 6-10 range...What are you thoughts on this article?

I saw that yesterday, and I love it!
I am the 'average woman' so when I go shopping, I'd like to see my size options actually being worn.
Even when I shop online, the models are tiny. I'm not tiny. I don't want to have to figure out how it's gonna look on me.

They look so real compared to the ones here. Our store's don't even have heads yc their mannequins lol

I rarely see a stick skinny mannequin these days anyway. Clothes don't look good on bony mannequins so I can see why these are making mannequins that are fuller and a little bit more curvy.

I dig it. I like seeing clothes that are more my shape. It's always been hard finding clothes that fit just right on me. At my thinnest at like 110lbs i still wore a size 9 (wide ass hips) and after having a LO I'm now a size 12 at my smallest. Just an itty bitty waist and big boobs.

hahaha. I got lucky. Well NOW i consider it lucky, when I was younger you have NO idea how bad I wanted to be one of those tiny girls. I got made fun of A LOT in high school for having wide hips.

But it still make a bitch for finding clothes. Mediums fit my waist but my poor boobs get suffocated. I'm glad the 50's style stuff is coming back in, it actually fits me right and look hott xD
