Well I finally figured it out. At least this strategy worked for me. You have to be fast to do it.
Let the first shopper decide what goes on the manequin/rack. She's the one who buys 2 items. She'll give you double points on that outfit and Millie (older lady) will also give you double points. Towards the end when there is only 1 or 2 guys in line and there are not too many clothes on the rack, let him decide what goes on the manequin/rack. He'll give you double points. If there is time and there is still another guy in line, let him choose what goes on the manequin/rack and he'll also give you doulbe points. Keep them filled up with beverages so they are happy. You have to move fast to do the switches in what goes on the manequin/rack but it worked. It was great to finally hear that lovely harp music after all this time. Now I can go to bed!!

I tried what the above poster said, and I did worse than before! I can't believe this game can be this bloody hard! LOL I'm still stuck here!

Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?

LB, unfortunately I think this level takes a lot of practice and patience. Hard, I know, when you're not crazy about the game. I tried to replay it to help you out but I'm too rusty at it now, so I bumped a few posts for you.

Don't give up. Last night I finally got past level 52 on Pirate Poppers after 2 whole weeks of being stuck there! lol! Seems the longer I play the better I get at.

I don't let the first customer, no matter who they are, decide what goes on the mannikin, it's not necessary (although that is a good tip IF that first customer is the lady that orders double) I just hit the red fabric button, make a dress (if the dress option is available, if not I make a blouse AND skirt or pants and run them through the dodazzler) and throw them up on the mannikin, THEN I make a copy and have though LIVING on the rack...I don't sell those unless I really have to, and then I quickly make another copy...the reason being is that the granny WILL ALWAYS BUY OFF THE RACK, and if you have a copy of what's on the mannikin on the rack, she'll buy it (oh, make sure it's on the far left side of the rack, because if you have something else there that's not on the mannikin, she'll BUY THAT INSTEAD...and then you lose the bonus points) and you'll get the mannikin points.

I never FAIL to get expert when I do this...

Oh have to add, by the time you're on this level, you should have upgraded all your equipment and the rack to the highest level. It helps to have beverages and accessories...but those really are more helpful when you have the lower grade equipment. Once you have the top of the line equipment, fabric maker, clothes maker and the dodazzler, waiting time for the machines is almost nil.

From the MOMENT the game starts on the higher level, hit the fabric buttons immediately (I hit red and pink myself, and I use red for anything that's gonna go on the mannikin and it's copy for the rack...) I try to have that set up BEFORE I even grab the customers and place them before the mirror. Then I keep hitting the red button in between whatever other clothes the customers might order.

Millie (Granny) WILL ALWAYS ORDER OFF THE RACK. The one that looks like Suki from Gilmore Girls and has the sunglasses in her hands, she will ALWAYS ORDER OFF THE MANNIKIN...The starlit, WILL ALWAYS ORDER OFF THE MANNIKIN.

Make sure that the copy is on the far left side of the rack so that Millie will order that mannikin copy...otherwise she'll take what's there and you'll lose the bonus points.
