I hear someone tried putting them out for sun, but it rained (again). Tried a sun lamp but got pattern '37 strap marks. Wife wouldn't allow use of freezer so waited until winter frosts forecast.. and lost the uniform in the fog...
Stephen. PS- who said humidity in Qld. We haven't seen more than 30mm of rain since March. Dust is more of a problem. |

We are very lucky here in Cheshire as we have nothing like the weather caused by Hurricane Irma but we are experiencing the tale end of Storm Aileen and if I was to give the mannequins some leave for a bit of R and R outside today, they would get very wet and might very well be blown some distance by the wind.
Concerns about the well being of the mannequins are appreciated. Peter

They're not those, er, ahem, inflatable mannequins are they?
In these winds they'd be off & away like little nekkid barrage balloons |

I once had an incredible conversation with a uniform collector who told me how to convert female dummies (cheaper to buy) into male ones. Of course our Forum members are too young for the lurid details.

Now that's practical, if you're careful enough with the chainsaw

Having tried the conversion in the past, it is not the obvious reductions required that are the problem it is hips/waist on a female mannequin that make them unsuitable for male clothes/uniforms.
P.B.
