SHOW ME YOUR FORM Party!
Our friend Tiffany at Shabby Scraps is hostessing a party today & is asking everyone to show off their dressforms! I have such a mania for these that I couldn't wait to join in & show mine again!My very favorite dressform display is my wedding gown back from 1974. Oh gosh, I'm vintage now!!
This little black beauty is named Elvira & she moves around the house, but is currently in our bedroom.
I made Izzy (named for the Laura Ashley Isabelle fabric used to make her) for my mother for Christmas back a few years ago. She was definitely a labor of love!
She features a crocheted collar from my grandmother & a vintage rhinestone brooch that belonged to my late mother-in-law.

I found this adorable idea for a lamp from the HGTV site. I'd love to try to make one of these sometime!
Now, back to a few of my favorite miniature dressforms in our bedroom.
The small dressform to the left is a tiny porcelain hinged box.
Back side is also decorated.
This little prom dress dressform is displayed in my granddaughter's bedroom.
Two of my favorite miniature dressforms in antique taupe in our bedroom atop my wedding plantation cupboard.
Beautiful detailing on the backside, too!
Another inside our armoire.
Hope you've enjoyed my little mania (hubby says "illness") for dressforms ~ careful, or you might catch it, too!! And there is NO CURE! Now, I'm off to visit all the other party participants HERE! Thanks so much, Tiffany, for having such a great idea!!

Hi Steph, WOW I love all your dressforms. Hard to pick a favorite. I think I love the one from your MIL and your wedding dress is just stunning! You have everything so perfectly displayed. You have such a good eye for this. Just beautiful!
Congrats on the award too. Oh and your FMF items are fantastic as always. I also enjoyed reading about the unimportant things. I hope you got my emails.

Hi, Stephanie, and thank you so much for stopping by. I felt SO SMUG when I told Tiffany I had TWO dress forms to show off, but oh my! Your MANY dress forms are FABULOUS! Beyond compare!
Your mirror collection in your eBay store is delicious - so many beauties. How on earth do you part with any of them?
Yes, the wedding cake windows are marvelous, and SOOOO fun to paint. If and when you want one, just drop me a line at ronda@ourcottagegarden.com and I'll send you details and possible windows for your consideration.
I've added you to my blogroll and will be checking back to see what other fabulous goodies you have!
Warmest regards, Ronda
Stephanie, you have such a nice collection of dress forms, but my absolute favorite is Izzy with that beautiful fabric covering and sassy fanny flourish! It was such fun to stop by your blog.

Hi Steph, you have a beautiful collection of dress forms. I love them all but am patrial to the lacy antique looking ones. I was looking at one last week and almost bought it but told myself I don't need to start another collection. LOL
