Here's my lovely stockman tailors dummy. I away use it in my open studio exhibitions, as it looks great with corsages pinned to it. I may have mentioned how much I treasure it before, but I love it's faded tea stained colour and worn edges. It makes the perfect prop.
Two new corsages finished with vintage broken necklaces, buttons and beads.
One of these days... I will have my own mannequin... I love yours... especially that it is tattered and well loved ♥♥
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I found an old mannequin in our loft when I moved in. I'm not much of a dressmaker, though, so I gave it to my friend Annie. It was such a cool find! Laura x
ReplyDeleteI do love your mannequin...I would feel blessed to have such a beauty in my home.Your corsages are lovely...that blue one is making my heart very happy. xoxo Happy new week to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments. You can buy new mannequins, but it's just not the same. I was really lucky and paid £20 for mine xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear ! After 25 years designing from the 60,s /late 80,s I eventually threw my 2 stockmans on the tip years ago If my memory serves me right I paid £40 for them from Franks.My cats found them a great climbing exercise and I would hear them crashing in my studio . Of course I regret it now. I am desperately looking on ebay .Nothing like a stockman .
