The Dress Form Ball

Today  (Sunday)I was trying my best to get some good pictures of my girls, my mannequins so I could join in over at The Polka A Dot Closet  Ball  where she is having a Dress Form  Ball on Monday tomorrow March 11th

It is a very rainy gloomy day here in central  Missouri and I couldn't get the best pictures but the girls are ready to show off there best dresses, well some of their best dresses.
This first one is a 1960's pink chiffon with lace & bows beautiful dress , I would say in perfect condition for the age . The label inside says 9/10 however it is a small 9/10 made in USA , don't see that much on clothing anymore.

This mannequin I call wire lady since she is a black metal wire form

Don't ya love the sweet heart neckline? click on to make pictures larger to see the pale pink color of this gown

This is my first mannequin I bought for $25. and on her body is a label Sally Stitch , so that's her name
She is dresses in retro lace dress and most of her pearls and some vintage lace

    She's standing in the east door trying to get a little light on her, I put her button collar on for this picture

Then there is the bride mannequin which you can't see very well for her attire

This wedding dress is going to get cut up for the lace and a friend wants a piece of the train or dress for a bride quilt piece she is working on . A friend gave me this , found in a house she bought and had no use for a wedding dress, I said Oh I will play with it . No need to try and sell it because a bride always wants her own dress, so it's going in the material , lace pile  .     The veil and pearl tiara I bought at a bridal shop going out of business
If you click on this picture to make it bigger, I think it's just dreamy

                                             

 I almost forgot about the home made ball gown on wire lady, LOL I just wrapped material round and round added a lace sash and the lace button collar

 I hope you'll all check out the other dress forms at the party
