Iran: Curvy Shop Mannequins Must Cover Up
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's moral crackdown has widened its focus from stylishly dressed women to curvaceous shop-window mannequins, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Morals police have banned shopkeepers from showing unveiled dummies and lingerie in their windows.

And men were now forbidden to sell women's underwear, Sharq newspaper said.

"Using unveiled mannequins that reveal their bodies' curves is banned," it quoted part of a new police manual as saying.
