I have two forms, one is not at all my size (I wish!) but it's good enough to display gowns on. It's an antique style with the seperate plates. The other is modern foam with cotton cover. It's not exactly my size, but ti's closer than the other one- got it when a fabric store was closing for cheap. The antique form has my vamprie character, Sadie, on it right now. She's based on the 1880's 'late bustle' style, but with very little regard for period construction. She's all purple bridal satin with black trim and sequins. I made her to work Fright Fest at Six Flag's Great America a few years back and decided I really liked her so I trot her out periodically. I just wore her for the WindyCon masquerade competition and won 'Best in Show'.....which makes me feel like I should be trotted around a ring on a leash and then rewarded with a doggie biscuit....but maybe not.....

My son needed some place to hold his leather tunic with metal plates while he works on it, and look, there's a dummie in the garage, just for him, he thinks. alex Cin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It's that time of year: holiday parties, winter balls, company dinners, New Years Eve, cocktail parties,12th Night, You might even be planning a sojourn to a balmy tropical locale. Whatever the reason, costumers are probably making something. So, what's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS. It's ok to run into the sewing room, toss something spiffy on the dummy and *then* tell us about it. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
