What is a "dummy"?

A dummy is a three-dimensional model used to display clothing designs. Dummies are usually made to mimic the human body, with movable joints that allow for different poses to showcase the garments. They can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and foam, and come in different sizes to represent different body types. Dummies are a valuable tool for clothes designers and dressmakers to visualize how a garment will look on a person and to make necessary alterations before cutting and sewing the fabric. They can also be used in stores and showrooms to display clothing for customers to try on or view.

Who is the "dummy"?

In the card game bridge, the dummy is the player who is partnered with the declarer but does not actively participate in playing the hand after the first card is led. Once the opening lead is made, this player's cards are placed face-up on the table for everyone to see. The declarer then plays both their own hand and the dummy's hand, making all decisions for both. The dummy does not make any choices or take part in the strategy but simply follows the rules of the game by letting the declarer control their cards and try to win the required number of tricks.
