Mannequin

Let shoppers dress a model with your pieces before they buy.

What we did

Small apparel brands sell outfits, not single pieces — but most themes sell one product at a time. Mannequin was designed to be fundamentally different from Tapeline: the whole store is built around putting pieces together.

Dress the model yourself

These are the theme’s real layers, cut from one photo, so folds and shadows stay true.

Tap a colour: the piece drops onto the model. In Mannequin, shoppers do this with your real products, then add the whole outfit in one click.

How we did it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    The idea

    Sell the outfit, not the piece — and make it a different theme from Tapeline, not a reskin.

  2. 02

    Layers from one photo

    Tees, pants and caps were cut from one photographed model as aligned layers, so folds and shadows stay true.

  3. 03

    The studio

    Shoppers drop pieces on the model, switch fits and sizes, and add the whole outfit in one click.

  4. 04

    Speed

    The studio script loads only when shoppers scroll near it.

  5. 05

    Submitted

    Sent to the Shopify Theme Store, where it is in review.

Why we did it this way

Because the typical way loses customers.

Scores measured on the demo store with Lighthouse. The studio is heavy by nature; it loads only when shoppers scroll near it.
