Your mannequins themselvs will become the objects of interest totally
negating the presentation of your subject material.  A far better
approach are the hand carried program devices which respond to the
users selection of exhibit code numbers on the tuch interface.

Mannequins have a place when exhibiting the character of your clothing
in  historical context.  However, it is the character of the clothing
which must be highlighted.

We have a similar problem when exhibiting military uniforms.  We
strive to explain the design basis for the uniform while illustrating
the functionality of the garment.  We often construct "T" display
stands from 3/4" pvc and use wedding dress cardboard chests to fill
out the body.  The support is completely hidden and the uniform and
its insignia become the focal point of the display.  You are about to
spend a great deal of money for someone's TOYS.  Money  which could
better be distributed in your museum.
