Silvia,

The Dorfman Ethafoam mannequins are actually quite nice. They are fully adjustable for different sized garments, making them able to be used for more than one body type. The different parts make them quite easy to dress, an important factor when you have a form fitting garment. You can purchase head, legs and feet as extra components. If you have someone in your organization that could attend a mannequin making class, there are a couple that are just excellent for making Ethafoam mannequins. The Campbell Center and the Northern States Conservation Center both offer mannequin making classes and are quite reasonable.
