Yesterday night I worked on altering the dress form mum and I found a few months ago at a garage sale. Although it isn't your conventional dress form, and it definitely isn't French, the antique lace, vintage broach, playing card, music sheet, glittered initial and other little 'French Nest' touches, have given it the vintage look it deserves.
I want to stamp something French around the neck, maybe a Parisian quote or French poem, or even a date to make it look really authentic!
Who would have thought that something that cost is $5 would look so cute in the end?

Oh that's beautiful! I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love the idea of a french quote around the neck. Tres chic!
The "million dollar look for a buck"...if I ever write a book...this will be the title.
You did a lovely job, it's is so sweet and feminine.
I like the lace especially..

Hey Kate...good job. Like the dress form. I have a dress form that I'm working on...it will probably take me forever to finish it.
Well in your amazing hands this has become a treasure. I just love it!
I love dress forms! Mine is wearing an old coat with fur trim that beloned to my hubbys aunt!
