Something that is always on the mind of the ventriloquist while dressing their figure is if they should cut the clothing to accommodate the access to the head stick. This is a common thought and I myself have had to make the choice many times.
I scour the antique clothing stores and internet looking for vintage clothing to dress the figures in the Ventriloquist Central Collection. When I find a wonderful vintage suit or suit coat I just can’t bring myself to cut the jacket or suit coat to make access easy. I just slip my hand under . Of course I am not using the figures to perform so it really makes no difference.
