RE: [london-hack-space] Re: Mannequin on long term loan

There are plenty of scarf-hanging places already.

And as Lynz has repeatedly said, an adjustable tailor's dummy would be useful but a shop dummy not, unless one specifically wants clothes that don't fit.

I've copied this to the threads list in case any of those not on this list would like to comment.

I can see it useful for loose fitting clothing to test drape, eg jumpers or scarves off the knitting machine. I personally wouldn't use it though.

I've never seen a shop mannequin used for dressmaking but I doubt it's particularly useful to the sewing group, as you rightly point out it isn't adjustable. We recently rejected the idea of obtaining a static dressmakers dummy at auction because of that point.
