Proposal
Give tailors the ability to pose and dress mannequins for retail use
Justification
Provide more accessibility for tailors to connect with customers
Motivation
Giving tailors more tools for engaging with player economy
Allow tailors to place poseable mannequins in their structures which they can outfit for retail use.

Customers can bring up a radial menu on the mannequin, with the ability to try on the outfit (if race allows), and purchase all pieces of the outfit at once.

A menu pop up can confirm total price before purchase.

The mannequin itself can store factory crates of each item for sale.
As the outfit is sold, the quantity decreases.

So a tailor can do a factory run of an outfit: 6 pieces, crate of 20 for each piece, and the mannequin will hold and sell 20 complete outfits.

And additions, changes, or other suggestions welcome.

I think one of the biggest hurdles to tailor is convenience and accessibility.

This would help in that regard.

Clothing can already be displayed, by simply "dropping" in a house.
Existing vendors can be dressed in outfits of the merchant's choosing and can sell them.
Customers trying clothes on before buying is a feature of one on one tailor servicing. I'm not sure how you could automate that to be afk. Currently there is no way to equip an item unless it is in your inventory. At which point it's yours.

Perhaps they could borrow the same feature that exists when showing equipped vs appearance. Examining a mannequin brings up a window like examining a player does. The bottom left check box could be "show on self" instead of show/hide equipped.

Yes, clothing can already be displayed, and vendors can be dressed, and trying on items csn be done one-on-one.

But this change is aimed to give tailors more accessibility. I think outfit shopping should be fun, easy, and convenient. Tailors dont have baked in business like meta chasing or item decay at the same pace as other professions. So i think ease of use for the customer is a good place to start in bringing tailor more involvement in the player economy.

Thats all this PV is really doing.
