Mannequins were a great idea. Implementation is horrible.

I have to fiddle around with this, but why would you want to display a piece that has a glamour tied to it? Why not just display the glamour itself? I might be misunderstanding your intention, but I would think ideally you'll want to use glamour items for display purposes. If you have discarded the glamour piece, you'll just have to reacquire it. You wouldn't want to glamour items you intend to sale because the buyer may not like it, nor want to pay 500 Gil to remove it.

If I want to display a mogstation item I have to put the actual item on the mannequin, so then if I ever want to use it myself I have to go and take it off the mannequin.

If I glamour Kurenai or my squadron with that item then I still get to keep the item in my inventory.

But you're not glamming it. Putting it on the mannequin is akin to equipping to yourself or a retainer. Why would you expect to still have access to it? If you want to retain access to the glamour item, then you have to glamour it to something you don't care to have access to, and put that on the mannequin. Again, these were not implemented to increase space. However, you can use them to free up retainer, armory, and inventory space. As an example, I am sitting on fully augmented ironwork sets for all jobs I have under 50. As soon as I log on, I plan on purchasing four mannequins to toss those sets onto.

Glamours aren't displayed on items the mannequin wears. If I glamour something to look like my mogstation item it will have its original appearance.

Ah. Well that settles that part of the matter then. Perhaps in a future patch that will get changed. My point remains the same though. Still having access to your glamours is not the intention of the mannequins. There is glamour dresser and the old glamour system for those purposes.

One may want to equip their mannequins to look like moogles for example, contributing to the theme of their house. The whole system is based on aesthetics and sale of items, not storage.
