A New Dress Form

I have wanted a dress form for the longest time and last weekend I finally purchased one from my favorite antique mall in town.  They were having a weekend sale and this is what I came home with.

The  pendant and pin were purchases from that same antique mall last year.  They look so pretty on my new dress form.  The lace collar I have had since the 80's.  I have always loved lace.



Here I put a lace cardigan on her that I already had.


Here you can see the whole dress form.  I can't believe I finally have one.

 
 Here I draped one of my favorite tablecloths over the dress form.

    Love your new dress form.
    I wanted one for a long time, too.
    I also use table cloths to dress mine. Some table cloths make the best skirts.
    Thanks for sharing.
