Interesting idea there with the mannequin. This bypasses some of the limitations of just applying clothing textures to the 3D model. A mannequin would probably give a much better indication of how items of clothing stretch (or dont stretch) in different places across the body. I imagine this would be very difficult to simulate with current tech.
Logistics though? How do you (cheaply) mass produce mannequins with entirely different dimensions? 3D printer?
Also how would the clothing be fitted to the mannequin? Robots? Do we have a robot that can dress people yet?
