A shirt or garment finishing machine with a mannequin or buck for holding the body of the garment or shirt with sleeve holders or grippers mounted on pivoting arms on each side of said mannequin or buck to hold the open end of the sleeve. The pivoting arms with sleeve holders/grippers pivot laterally to support various lengths of sleeves and provide tension to remove wrinkles. The sleeve holders/grippers move vertically on the pivoting arm to support sleeves that are attached to the garment body at a various angles. During either or both of these motions, the sleeve holder/gripper automatically adjusts its angle relative to the garment body to provide even sleeve tension.

One or more embodiments relate to a liner cover for a robotic mannequin able to reproduce on demand at least one portion of the morphology of an individual by controlling a plurality of shells that are movable with respect to a frame of the robotic mannequin, the cover including a stack of layers, the stack of layers including an inner layer with an elastomer base, an outer layer including at least one textile, disposed around the inner layer, and applying at least one mechanical constraint on at least one portion of the inner layer, at least one element for reducing the transmission of mechanical constraints between the inner layer and the outer layer.

A rotatable loom with a mannequin such that the loom can be used to produce a hand-made single piece of cloth or cloth product in a three dimension with a thread of choice. The loom has two or more frames with graded rings such that the rings help in achieving a cylindrical or cubic shape cloth.

A garment insert may comprise: a body panel including an upper edge and a slot below the upper edge; a first support flap extending away from the upper edge and including a first locking member configured to be inserted into the slot, the first support flap configured to fold towards the body panel to form a first portion of a hanger feature opening and to allow the first locking member to insert into the slot; and a second support flap extending away from the upper edge and including a second locking member configured to be inserted into the slot, the second support flap configured to fold towards the body panel to form a second portion of the hanger feature opening and to allow the second locking member to be inserted into the slot.

An automated adjustable mannequin is provided for use as a platform for producing computer generated fashion model clothing displays. The clothing displays may be static photographs or video. The mannequin combines manually adjustable dress forms currently used by seamstresses and clothing designers with three dimensional scanning and photographic technologies. Actual body scan data of a living model may be used to automatically adjust the shape or contours of a dress form in real time to match the size and dimensions of a previously photographed model. The automated adjustments to the mannequin may be made at a rate of one frame at a time or 30 frames per second, where the body-form adapts to changes in the underlying model's movements.
