Use pins correctly
Insert pins at an angle into the pinnable surface instead of forcing them straight into hard areas. Remove pins after each project and never leave rusty pins in the cover.
Keep the surface clean
Dust the form with a clean, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid soaking the fabric, applying bleach or using strong chemicals. Protect the dummy from fabric dye, wet garments, glue and oil.
Store it in a dry place
Keep the form away from rain, damp walls and long periods of direct sunlight. Moisture can affect the covering and internal structure, while strong sunlight can fade the colour.
Move it by the stand
When relocating the dummy, support the body and stand together. Do not drag it by the torso or lift it by the neck cap. Tighten loose base and pole fittings before use.
Do not overload the form
A dummy is intended for garments, fitting and draping. Avoid placing heavy objects on the shoulders or leaning against it. Use an appropriate adult-weight pedestal where extra stability is needed.
Is the cover torn, the shape damaged or the base loose?

Check the cover, seams, neck cap, pole and base. Early repairs can prevent a small problem from affecting the complete form.
