<p>Description:</p>
<p>A good mannequin makes an exhibit look professional.
Unfortunately, most museum staff do not know how to make a costume
look good on a mannequin. The result is that costumes look flat,
provide incorrect information or are being damaged. Buying an
expensive “museum quality mannequin” is not the solution –
garments rarely fit without alterations to the mannequin. Learn
how to measure garments and transfer that information to construct
a new form or alter an old form so that it accurately fits the
garment, creating an accurate and safe display. Learn about the
materials that will and won't damage the textile. Making Museum
Quality Mannequins provides an overview of all of the materials
used to construct mannequins in today's museums. Learn inexpensive
mannequin solutions and how different materials may use the same
additive or subtractive construction technique. Fabrication
methods for many mannequin styles are described. Finishing touches
– casting and molding, hair, arms, legs, stands and base,
undergarments – are discussed with examples of how they change the
presentation of a garment.</p>
