Question Where can I buy dress forms, mannequins, torso, head/bust displays for very little money? I'm looking for these items to use as displays in a boutique. I have found many places online but all are very expensive. Looking to find really good deals but no need to buy large quantities. Can you help?
Answer Dear Misty,
Thank you for writing. I would start my hitting www.Craigslist.com and selecting your local city. Craigs List is a free listing of everything from places to rent to things to buy. I am in the SF Bay Area so I have losts of listings to read. I would also go talk to large department stores. Often they have out dated or unused retail tools that they may give you a deal on. Pretty much all the sites I have read seem to charge nearly $90 or more for mannequins.
Here is just one site http://www.mannequinexperts.com/
