What is the difference between a full-body mannequin, a torso form, and a dress form?

Full-body mannequins display complete outfits including tops, bottoms, and footwear — the highest-impact presentation for a complete look. Torso forms display tops only — more compact and less expensive than full-body, used for featuring specific tops without a complete outfit story. Dress forms are typically used for garment fitting and construction as well as display — they have adjustable measurements and are used in tailoring and design environments.
