Each week we'll also list the theme for the coming week--at the very bottom of the post, so you can prepare and be ready to share!
Don't forget and leave comments where you visit. We all love to hear from our visitors.
This Weeks Theme--Show Me Your Dressform
I have always loved dressforms, partly I suppose because they are a part of sewing and I love anything to do with sewing and partly because this is what my figure really looks like--underneath all the fluff I seem to have gathered through the years.
This is Betty. I found Betty about 3 years ago in a thrift shop in Florida for $50. I snatched her up as quick as I could and ran home with my new found treasure bargain. She has been a faithful companion in my sewing room and has made a cross country move with me, so I'm pretty sure she intends to stay.
This is Betty's favorite outfit--she only has 2. She forgot her hat for this picture, but she is decked out in all of her favorite jewels.

Here's a close up, so you can what she's wearing a little better. Betty is from the 1930's and is in excellent condition. Her fabric tends to be fragile, so I dress her carefully and keep her away from the sun. I love the wire cage at the bottom and her heavy cast iron roller legs. I think I'd like to find her a 1950's or 60's prom formal for her next outfit--something in pink I think.....
And here’s a picture of Betty in her other outfit--suitable for the sewing room I’d say. She’s a very good seamstress too.
Ok, your turn. Show us your dress form and please tell us a bit about her. What is her name, her history etc. Does she have sisters? Just fill out the Mr. Linky below, so we can all take a peek.
