Fabric Mannequins for Fashion Retail, Visual Merchandising, and OEM Projects
Fabric mannequins are display forms wrapped and stitched in textile — linen, velvet, or cotton — over a shaped, hand-sanded body, rather than painted fiberglass. XINTU has made them to order in Shenzhen, China since 2003 for fashion brands, retailers, and visual merchandising partners.
Our factory supports fabric covered mannequin development across female, male, kids, torso, and display prop requirements, with customization options for silhouette, fabric finish, wooden arms, hardware, base details, and export-ready packing.

What is a fabric-covered mannequin called?
A fabric-covered mannequin goes by several names in the trade: fabric mannequin, fabric-wrapped or upholstered mannequin, cloth-covered mannequin, and, for the half-body version, display dress form or bust form. In Europe it is often listed as a linen mannequin or velvet mannequin after its fabric, and as a mannequin with wooden arms when it carries articulated beech arms. They all describe the same product: a shaped body hand-wrapped in fabric for retail display, not a sewing dress form.

Why Fashion Teams Source Fabric Covered Mannequins
Fabric covered mannequins are retail display forms that brands choose for a softer, more tactile presentation than glossy fiberglass. They are used in boutiques, luxury windows, trunk shows, and visual merchandising projects where texture, warmth, and styling flexibility matter.

How XINTU Works as Your Fabric Mannequin Manufacturer
XINTU has made fabric covered mannequins in Shenzhen since 2003, in linen, velvet and cotton, for fashion brands, boutiques and OEM programs. A typical project runs in four steps:
- Share reference images, display goals, dimensions and quantity expectations.
- Confirm body form, pose, fabric finish, arm style, base structure and packing requirements.

- Move into production, typically 15 to 45 working days, with export-ready packing and international delivery.
