Not all mannequins are made to look like full-grown adults. Child mannequins are also common in many clothing stores. A child mannequin is the same as an adult mannequin except that it is built to the scale of a child. These mannequins are made specifically for displaying children’s clothes. A child mannequin is made of the same materials as an adult mannequin and has the same level of detail.
Child mannequins are commonly found in department stores as well as stores that specialize in children’s clothing. Child mannequins come in many sizes, ranging from toddler size to adolescent. A child mannequin is needed to display the store’s inventory in a realistic manner. Customers want to get a good representation of what the clothes will look like on their children. Child mannequins show parents exactly how the clothes will fit on children similar in size to the mannequins. Many child mannequins have feet and a head to show what entire outfits look like. These mannequins can model hats and shoes as well as shirts and pants. Other child mannequins consist only of a torso held upright on a stand. These child mannequins take up less space than the full-size models and are perfect for displaying shirts and blouses.
Child mannequins are exactly the same as adult mannequins in all aspects, except for size. They are made of fiberglass, plaster, or wood, just as adult mannequins are. As with adult mannequins, child mannequins can have real human hair and have extremely detailed facial features. Most child mannequins are stuck in a stationary pose, but some are adjustable and feature moveable arms and legs that can be set in different positions.
Child mannequins are vital to stores that sell children’s clothing. They can give parents a good idea of what the store’s clothes will look like on a child.
