The mannequin – which appeared at a branch in Oxford – was clad with a ripped, loose fitting beige shirt and three quarter-length pants. The worst part – a twig protruding from the shirt.

A spokesperson later confirmed that the outfit had never been on sale in the store as part of any promotion associated with the film.
