well say there is this outfit you have that you LOVE but have no use wearing it right now or ever again Now u can show it off in your house by dressing them up
they're mainly for decorations, but they look so cool in my opinion.
They each have a limit of 6, and cost quite a bit of scrap iron to create, and you have to be an initiate crafter to make them, but they're mainly for decoration, very cool looking decoration.
I think the purpose of the mannequins are mostly just to show off cloth you like that you cant use anymore or cloth that you are waiting to use.. it can be used as any nice decoration around your house... you can try on any cloth you want on this mannequin i think thats why most people buy it! :D
