A pretty little find...

I have been recently searching for a new mannequin, as my poor little adjustable blue one (called suze) is falling apart beyond repair. :(

I came across these little beauties, and thought that they were too pretty not to share :) They are all covered in a range of vintage fabrics, from Cath Kidston to Laura Ashley!

It makes them as much of a decoration as they are a tool for making clothes!



I love the lacing detail down the back!



and a lovely range of vintage mannequins too...








... I think some definite saving up is in order!

  3. Those vintage ones are so gorgeous. My mum has a mannequin which she displays her bags, hats and scarves on, I may have to save up and invest because so often they're such pieces of art in themselves.

  5. My favourite is the blue one, although I wouldn't say no to any of the other ones! I need to get myself a mannequin, it might make fitting things a bit easier! haha xxx

  6. The corset strings up the back are wicked! Ugh, that was such a great idea it should have been mine. They seem perfect for decorating. You could keep post one in a main room with high visitor gawking potential visitors and you could use a cheaper jersey one for personal pinning.
    I'm sorry about Suze! The first thing I put on my Mannequin was a thrifted 50s polka-dotted full-skirt dress. She's been Peggy ever since. Oh, Pegs, I love you. Have you had any more luck in finding a new one?
