Mannequin or Model?

Which do you prefer?

Personally I like models but some and not all.

I have a terrible mannequin and need a new one but not sure what looks best.

I like the photos of ones with hands but no heads but do not know where to get one. I need hands for my vintage one and thought for sure I could find them but have not.

I need another shoulder plate like this one. It is about 4 inches across.

Barbara, I purchased my full sized mannequin, and 4 head/bust sized mannequins from sharon_sherrod on ebay. She hand paints mannequins to look like flappers. She is very artistic! If you'd like to take a look, here are her current listings on ebay:

Hats, scarfs, furs, and jewelry, look great on them, and they photograph well!

Take care, Diane :O)

It does seem that models are becoming the norm now, more than the mannequins...I noticed this while browsing a few sites the past few months.

One of my favorite ebay sellers is Timeless Threads...she is lucky to have a model that looks fabulous in anything.

So, when using a model, try to have the model with a solid backround behind her, so the attention is on what you are selling
