Please exchange the mannequins with protruding ribs, that perpetuate the idea that 'skinny' is the ideal, for regular mannequins.

The issue
I believe this is something we need to take action on because the mannequins currently being used in some stores further perpetuate the idea that 'skinny' is the ideal. Glassons target market are young women. Women in this age group are most vulnerable for body image issues & eating disorders. As a relatively big player in the retail industry in NZ, Glassons are setting a precedent in this area & it is concerning that this could become the norm in women's clothing stores.
