I want a dislpay mannequin...

...the type you see in shop windows.
Found suppliers but it's SO expensive :eek:
and I'm not looking for a new one.
not much luck on ebay.

It's for my mum's christmas. She has a traditional costume from my great-grand-mother (or great great..).
I just remembered it's been years she wanted a mannequin for this.

Ideally looking for one with color (vs. all white) and full body (i plan to buy a wig). these are the most expensive.

My plan is to go round shops and ask.
Not hoping for one free (although...:D ) but not too expensive (I'll have to ship it outside UK! so that's to add in my bugdet!)

If anyone has tips...THANK YOU!

    or you could look out for clothing stores having a revamp as they may sell you one second hand
