If you’re looking to display modern-made clothes on vintage mannequins, one thing you should be aware of is that bodies have grown a lot since the 1940s. So using mannequins that are exactly the same as from back then is a bad move, because the clothes don’t fit.
One great solution is to fix an antique-style mannequin head to a standard modern body. Or, as a large number of vintage mannequins were dressmaker and tailor forms, another solution is to simply use the modern equivalent of these. Ranges of vintage and antique-style mannequins can be very cost effectively produced using todays production methods, so don’t assume that you can’t afford a custom display.
