A mannequin is a special type of furniture item introduced in New Leaf that can be dressed to display an entire set of clothing.
An outfit on a mannequin can consist of a headgear, accessory (if the headgear is not a helmet), top, bottoms, legwear, and footwear. In addition to storing an outfit, the player can quickly switch into the clothing displayed to wear it. To add or remove clothing items from the Mannequin, place it in a room and Press A while facing it. Outfits stored on the mannequin will remain on its body, even when the player places it in their pockets. Unlike other items, the player cannot drop the mannequin onto the ground, which means a mannequin cannot be traded. Mannequins cannot be placed in letters.
How to Obtain Mannequins[]
There are a total of four mannequins in New Leaf, and they are obtained from the three Able Sisters in their shop and Gracie.
- Sable's mannequin is obtained by becoming best friends with her. The player must also have purchased at least 50 items from either side of the Able Sisters shop. The earliest this mannequin can be achieved is by the tenth conversation with Sable, which occurs after 10 days of consecutively talking to her.
- Mabel's mannequin is obtained by purchasing 51 clothing items in the Able Sisters shop. Purchases from Labelle's side do not count toward this requirement.
- Labelle's mannequin is obtained by buying at least one accessory from her a day, over 31 days. The purchases do not have to be made on consecutive days.
- Gracie's mannequin is received when the player makes their first purchase on Gracie's floor of their own T&T Emporium.
