Ghost Mannequin Services for Apparel & Fashion Photos
We remove the mannequin or model from your clothing photos and join the neck, sleeves and inside back by hand, so every garment looks 3D and ready for your store. Wrinkles cleaned, colors matched, white background added. From $2 per image.
- Neck, hem and sleeve joins done by hand
- Lint, pins and creases cleaned up
- One-day delivery, rush in roughly 6 hours
- Inside labels kept readable
What Is the Ghost Mannequin Effect?
The ghost mannequin effect, also called the invisible mannequin, makes clothing look as if it is worn by an invisible body. You shoot the garment on a mannequin, plus a second shot of the inside label or back. We remove the mannequin, join the two images by hand and clean the result, so shoppers see the true shape and fit of every piece.
- Real shape and fit shown
- Inside neck and label visible
- Matching angle across a collection

Ghost Mannequin FAQs
What is a ghost mannequin service?
A ghost mannequin service removes the mannequin or model from clothing photos and joins in the inside neck, back and sleeves, so the garment looks hollow and three-dimensional. Shoppers see its real shape and fit without a body or a stand in the way, and the whole collection looks uniform.
How much does ghost mannequin editing cost?
Ghost mannequin editing starts at $2 per image for a neck joint, $2.50 for neck and bottom joints, $2.75 with sleeve joints and $3 for high-end garments. We email the exact price after reviewing your files, and you pay only once you have agreed to it.
What photos do I need to send?
Send the garment on a mannequin, plus a second shot of the inside neck or back. For sleeves or hoods, add shots of the inside openings too. If you only have photos on a model, we can often still remove the model, so send a sample and we will check it.
How fast is ghost mannequin editing delivered?
Garments are normally delivered 24 hours after payment clears. Rush delivery is available in as little as 6 hours, and an extra charge may apply. A full season of styles is scheduled in the quote, so your launch date is known before any editing begins.
Do you remove wrinkles and lint?
Yes. Editors remove wrinkles, lint, pins, tags and loose threads while keeping the real weave and texture of the fabric. If a crease is part of the design, such as a pleat or a pressed seam, tell us and it will be left exactly as it is.
Can you match my brand style across every product?
Yes. Share your style notes once, covering crop, margin, shadow and background, and we save them for every future order. That keeps new garments consistent with the ones already in your store, even when they are shot months apart or by different photographers.
