I wonder what would be the best type of manekins for a costume museum? The
normal comercial
shop manekim would be acceptable? Is it recomendable a manekim with an
expresive face ?
In "my" museum we have been using so far silhouetes in wood wich are not
expensive and
tecnically acceptable because they are absolutely neutral (no face), but quite
difficult  to "dress"
because it is necessary to be filled to get the right volumes. Anyway, now we
are trying to change
to something easier to work with, but we feel the normal manekins are not
exactly what we're looking for,
in spite of beeing extremely easy to dress...
Does anyone have this experience or similar problem ?

Emanuel
