Dressforms, Mannequins, & Mandy
Here are the pictures of the dressform that I promised you a few days ago. I made this for my Mother for Christmas 2004. She was definitely a labor of love. I've never made another one even though I dream of one day having one myself. I used a patchwork design with tons of bridal gimp, pearls, Cyrus Clark pink Jessie, Laura Ashley Isabelle, & white damask fabrics.
Isn't she quite a shapely gal?
I added a beautiful vintage crocheted lace collar that my daddy's mother had made, then embellished it with some of my late mother-in-law's rhinestone jewelry. Gotta love that bling!
Bottom draping is made from a lacey white curtain.

I'm sharing a pic of my daughter on her wedding day back in November with her new sister-in-law, Nely, who was almost 1/2 way thru her pregnancy at that time. Aren't they beautiful girls?

Wow Steph! Love that dressform. I didn't know you did those. I've done a few myself and know what you mean when you say, "Never Again!"
I don't have one either!

I must ask, how did you adhere the fabric to the form, it looks wonderful, and you're right, she has a great figure. It is great how you included vintage in with new fabrics. Thanks for sharing.
