Worldwide department store Debenhams were due to roll out size 16 mannequins to their stores across the UK.

However, after being installed in only London stores it has not yet reached other areas of the UK.

This is how the mannequins will look when they arrive in Lincoln

Lincoln’s store is yet to see the new installation and their shop windows still display the original sized 8-10 mannequin model.

Debenhams visual merchandisers and floor staff say that they have not heard anything from management about getting the plus size mannequins in store or in the windows.

Previously Andy Baldock, the floor manager of Debenhams said: “I believe that the company displaying these models is such a great thing. It’s opening us up to our audience and showing that we are a diverse company who don’t discriminate in any shape, way or form. I remember Next doing a plus size suit range for men not so long back. I would love for us to do something similar, if not better.”

However there has been no further discussion about stocking the mannequins in Lincoln.
