...you buy a tailor's dummy for displaying your fits at home.



Purchased today. I've decided to call him "Cecil". Cecil is wearing Canali, Henry Carter (tie and square) and Ballantyne.

Really up-ing the game for WIWT today pics. Also, immediately makes them better looking - at least if this was for me.

That's really great, Coxy. Glad you've got the space, too. Love the name, takes me back to my childhood when I would call everything either Cecil or Frederick. Don't know why :lol:

I wanted one of those but my wife nixed it as something that will creep her out

Cecil creeped my wife out this evening.

I've left her alone in the flat tonight (as I'm travelling), so I took all the clothes off it so it just looks like a tailor's dummy, not a person.

When I get back I might deck it out in full pimp regalia just for fun.

Actually I might also create a login for Cecil and post his fits on WAYWRN from time to time.

Gotta be careful though. If he gets too popular he might start looking for a different dresser. Lucky I didn't call him Hugo.
