I really support this. I don't care all that much about having strange, surreal manniquins but I really do think it is irritating that sizes have no standard between dressmakers.

Two big changes, announced in late January, are in the works: Stores run by four big names will start swapping window display mannequins so that none are less than size 38 (roughly equivalent to a U.S. size 6). The designers will standardize the dimensions of their women's apparel so that a given size will fit the same way no matter who sells it.
