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.

Green satin moire' fabric for her backside.
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?

And introducing Miss Mandy!!!!

Isn't she just the most beautiful little doll?!?!
Don't forget tomorrow is play-day, courtesy of Scrappy Jessi. Go to her blog here to see what it is all about. I'm looking forward to sharing my childhood toys with you tomorrow!

See ya then!!
Hugs,
