Poshers are finding that when they use a mannequin on their product listings it:
- Enhance the way the product looks
- Increases the sell through rate
- Sells at a higher price point
This is why most of the top sellers on Poshmark consider a mannequin a “must have” investment for their business. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how you can get a 15% discount on a mannequin/dressform or torso if you are need to purchase one now)
If you don’t want to take our word for it about the importance of a mannequin, below are links to three articles from Poshmark vendors/consultants. None of the authors have any connection with our company, Mannequin Madness, so you are getting unbiased opinions.
The authors compare the pros and cons of various styles of mannequins, dress forms and mannequin torsos that online vendors use

The mannequin which will be best for your needs will depend on type of clothing you are selling and your personal preference. Whatever style you choose, consider buying a used one.
Just like the second hand clothing on Poshmark, you don’t have pay full price to get what you want/need/like.
A used mannequin does not mean it is damaged or distressed like one you might find at garage sale. The used mannequins we are referring to are the ones we have recycled from retail stores such as Nordstrom, Macy’s, Ralph Lauren, Adidas and other retailers when they close or remodel locations.
Used mannequins from national retailers are more durable than the new ones you can find on Amazon. They are made to withstand being manhandled in a busy retail store environment. Most of the time they are in such good condition, they seem like they are brand new.
Sometimes they are custom made so they won’t have the generic look of the mass produced one which will make your listings stand out even more.
