I found this pattern online last week and was inspired to give it a try, I just love dress forms and they are great for display. But, they are usually damaged, dirty, and not in very good shape. So I thought how hard could this be? So I did it, and what do you think? I used some fabric panels I had bought for chairs to give them a french look. I really like the one I did out of painters cloth though and thought it might be fun to grunge it up a bit, I'll try that next........ So let me know what you think, do they look too homemade? If you like them, I might make some to sell. Cheers, lauriPattern is available on etsy at 4myfavoritethings.
i think they are gorgeous my friend.

I have to agree, these are really great! when I first looked I thought you'd stumbled onto a stash of something 'french' ....!
ReplyDeleteI love them they look wonderful. You did a very good job on them
ReplyDeleteI have one similar to those that has a wooden knob on the top and taking it to the flea market May 28th
I just set up twice a year at a local Antique Shop Artichoke Annies on Interdatae 70
I think you have just found another "hit". The forms look awesome, especially since they have your touch.
