Thread: manequins
Im all for a mannequin of a sort... what I'd really like is thesewing forms that most seamstresses use, or whatever they are called.. lol. I know I've had to beg friends or poor random unsuspecting customers to try on a new outfit idea because I want to see it on a man... lol I've said many times I wish I could be a male char once in a while to see how clothes look. So many of them look different depending on your gender.
we have asked for them
for species, gender,and proper display of layering
crafted by artisan or architects
useable by IDs
anything!
and we still throw clothes on the floor or vendor hopeing someone notices...
If you just drop a full outfit all at the same time (without moving), you will get the effect of a faceless manequin. Hope this helps.

You can get an idea how it would look on a woman..but not a man. A lot of the clothing comes in "female" form. Many items look different on a male than a female, the one that comes to mind specifically is the belted vest. I made a really cool looking "Anakin" outfit with this, yet when I had a male friend try it on it looked terrible. The woman's curves accentuate it, when on a man the V neck of it dips down to the middle of their chest and totally ruins the whole outfit. You can tell how something will look just during the crafting process.. if you drop it on the floor it'll look just as it does in the tool... but it's not gonna tell you what it looks like on a specific figure (ie male or female), which I suppose is what I'd like to see with a "sewing form/manequin/dummy" whatever.
I suppose i could use my vendors as dummies..but if it's ugly I have to remake their outfits

well it was more of an ID suggestion that I thought I would post here as well, since I could see it being useful for Tailors as well.
However, like your suggestion when I was a tailor and MAS I had a sewing room set up in my house and would place clothes and armor for display like you said but then add a wood staff in the center of each outfitit to give it kind of a "on the rack" look. Kind of gave some structure to hats especially, rather than a big void where the head would go.

Have you guys ever discussed having manequins in game? Like maybe craftable by an artisan, you could get a manequin of any sex/species in game that is "dressable" like a current vendors, but will not eat the items you place on them.
Nice idea...
