My Passion for Dressforms!
I've got a new passion ~ dressforms! It all started several years ago when my dear daddy found me ~ 2 ~ at a yard sale! One I used to display jewelry on when I was doing my craft shows, the other I saved for my wedding gown.
Then I found this spiffy little black velvet number, to which I later added a black velvet beaded evening bag.
She even has her very own dainty little necklace.
These two both came from Ross's last year.
Even the backs of these are so elegant.
I also have a passion for pretty little mini dresses & gowns like this one in the above picture that I added a little rhinestone bling to!
Two more that I love, one on a hanger & the other that seems to go so well against the Laura Ashley Isabelle fabric that we lined our armoire in.
A pretty little ballgown that I purchased recently. Her left scrolly arm was broken so she was marked down. I intend to repair her......eventually.
Another of my favorites, an elegant ecru dressform & a porcelain dressform hinged box.
Just as pretty from the back!
I was very fortunate to get a beautiful new blog banner here from a great blogger named Polly at Counting Your Blessings. She was my inspiration for my post on dressforms tonight. Her photography is beautiful. Free banners for blogs ~ such a sweet & generous thing for you to do! Thanks so much for your kindness, especially for those of us that are computer-challenged! You simply must check out both her sites! She has some wonderful things!! Polly also has a wonderful idea about giving & receiving, so please do visit all her sites!! You will be so uplifted & surprised!!!
Next time I'll post pictures of the dressform I made & decorated for my mother for Christmas 2004!
