The invention pertains to upholstery techniques for upholstering the central bust line of mannequins. Particularly a shaping body is coupled to the central line of the upholstery and shaped to conform to the central bust line of an underlying mannequin form. The shaping body includes anchors, preferably, in the form of strings, which can be fed through the mannequin form and tensioned accordingly. The shaping body is preferably elongate with two identical body members coupled by a fold therebetween. The first body member is coupled to a first side of the central bust line seam of the upholstering covering and the second body member is coupled to the second side of the central bust line seam of the upholstering covering. The fold therebetween is shaped to conform to the shape of the central bust line of the mannequin form. The use of such a shaping body results in a natural convex curve of the central bust line.

Demonstrating a piece of real clothing to a customer to facilitate a trying-on and purchasing process includes: obtaining a set of data, representing the customer's body configuration, determining from the set of data a first standardized size for a piece of clothing that is a close match to the customer's body configuration, putting a first piece of real clothing with the first standardized size on a real mannequin with measurements corresponding to the set of data representing the customer's body configuration, obtaining a first image or set of images showing the first piece of clothing on the real mannequin; and presenting to the customer the first image or set of images showing the first piece of real clothing.

The invention relates to a reclosable pin (10) for securing the train of a dress, for example a bridal dress, in a raised position. The reclosable pin (10) comprises a resilient arcuate base portion (12), first and second leg portions (14, 16) extending from the base portion (12), a return arm (18) at the upper end of the first leg (14) extending substantially perpendicular to the first leg portion (14), a curved point portion (20) at the upper end of the second leg portion (16), a point (22) provided at the end of the curved point portion (20) directed towards the first leg portion (14), and a clasp (24) provided at the free end of the return arm (18) for engagement with the second leg portion (16). The clasp (24) comprises a loop (26) extending toward the base portion (12), the free end of the loop (26) extending away from the first leg portion (14) to provide an abutment surface (28) for the second leg portion (16) directed toward the first leg portion (14) when the pin (10) is in a closed position. The pin (10), when in the closed position, forms a closed loop having a tapered shape such that the closed loop is narrowest adjacent to the base portion (12).

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for implementing a computerized garment photography system are described. A garment is placed on an exterior surface of the mannequin. The mannequin is controllable to assume a series of size combinations via one or more moveable portions of the robotic mannequin. One or more image capture devices capture a plurality of images of the mannequin as the mannequin assumes the size combinations. A fit adjustment mechanism adjusts a placement of the garment on the exterior surface of the mannequin during the automated photography process.

A manikin (mannequin) with limbs that magnetically attach to the torso by an assembly of an attach base mounted on the torso and a lead-in base on the limb. Magnets of one Pole are accommodated within the attach base, and of the opposite Pole within the lead-in base. The magnets attract corresponding magnets of the opposite Pole, facilitating self-aligning of the magnets, whose depth-of-pull force is not over 80 Gauss. The attach and lead-in bases can regulate the attraction force via a layer of flux shield over the magnets for various applications. Attach and lead-in bases have complimentary guiding means to give an assembler a sense of touch through fabric to understand where the limbs are with respect to the torso when forming a joint. The lead-in pin hooks the limb into the torso, allowing limbs to pivot and return to their original position if bumped.
