Mannequin Inspiration

Did you know that if you take the ugly sheath off these dressmaker forms, they have wonderfully rustic "skin"?!
She only put up a fuss when I couldn't get the fabric away from her "birthmarks"
Despite a little remaining fuzz in her armpits, Miss Sally Stitch has been stripped of all her frippery. Geesshh, I don't know why husbands can't see how inspiring these old mannequins are!

    Polly, Honey, I think you've lost it! LOL! Actually, I have to agree that Sally actually is more interesting "bare-skinned".

    Wow!! Oh my, she is even more gorgeous without her green coat on. I love what you did, and would have done the very same thing. I love the Shawl draped across her - Simple and oh so Tattered Chic!! xoxo

    She's absolutely wonderful! I would have never guessed it either. These men just don't get a lot of things do they. LOL! Oh well at least we women understand each other.

    How gorgeous is she!!In the raw, so confident, and so poised! I gave up years ago trying to convince my husband that what I do is GOOD! Collecting junk and mannequins make life worth living!

    Hi Polly,

    There's something very poetic about Miss Sally, I like her. Hairy armpits and all :)

    Hugs,
