I searched for a dress form for a long time in hopes of finding a vintage one but in my area they are few and far between. I finally found a new one at Pier One last fall. I thought she would get a lot of attention and be a good display for an art show.
Oh, I forgot to introduce her-this is "Jewelia"-so named because she does love her Bling!
A few nights ago, a light bulb went off and I knew just the dress she needed. I collect old crocheted doilies and dresser scarves and had a big hat box full in the attic. I pulled them out and started pining them to the form. I knew I must be on to something when my husband came upstairs to see what I was doing and commented about how good he thought the dress looked. WOW!
Before long she had a new "old" dress...
What do you think?
What is your dress form wearing?
I've been looking for one too. I decided to make my own.

Ooooohhhh, what a perfect fit! (ha)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, those vintage doilies and your jewelry style go perfectly together. I think the neutral tone of the dress lets your designs on her really shine. Awesome!
Thank you-I'm really happy with the way she turned out.
