Tailor's dummy, e.g (5)

I believe the answer is:

torso

(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Poorly-dressed child" , "Roost on trunk?" , "part of body will be found" , "Roots (anag)" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
