Tiffany at ShabbyScraps is hosting this fabulous dress form party!. When I read her post about how her husband feels about her forms, I had to participate and give her support!!. {Some} men just "don't get" certain items women need to have in our lives.
I don't own a full size form, yet...but it's calling my name from somewhere. I do have a small collection of mini ones, and here they are. I haven't given them names but I love them all.
This one is about 24'' tall. I love the blue flowery dress with the ruffled ribbon collar and hem:
The next one is 21", she used to have a brown and white painted dress, obviously I had to give her a makeover. I painted her blue and decoupaged roses, and painted the pink polka dots, much better!. This is one of my favorite ones!
I had to have this one when I saw it in the PBTeen catalog a while back. They had a full size version, which I was tempted to buy, but didn't. I wish I had though, I love the roses on it... oh, well!
Whenever I can, I buy unfinished ones. I'm hoping to make beautiful paper dresses for them...when I find the time. This one I kept it as is, only added the pink netted skirt, and a beautiful necklace (bracelet) by Sarah.
This one, many of you may remember her from Target:
This pink beauty was bought at Bombay Kids (out of business):
And last but not least, the next two are 12" tall, both were purchased at TJ Maxx, a few moons ago. The black and white one is sporting a bracelet from GAP Kids.
I have a couple of others that didn't make it to the photo shoot!
The funny thing is, yesterday afternoon as I was setting up my makeshift background for the photos outside, I was having a bit of a hard time propping up my background. My husband was in the pool`and I was telling him that I was shooting my mini dress forms to post on the blog in support of a fellow blogger. He's like," oh brother, is there like a $50 thousand prize for showing these around?". I replied, "No...why don't you get out of the pool, and help me by holding the background up for me?". To my surprise, he did!!. After a few minutes of him stading there, he said: " Are you done yet?, it feels cold out here!". I thanked him for helping me and off he went!!
Well, I hope you all enjoy my collection. Thank you so much for stopping by!
And, Thank You, Tiffany for hosting such a beautiful party!!
Take care and have fun,
Rosa
