Vintage Dress Up

Be inspired by our new workshop, Vintage Dress Up! We are so excited about this project because there is so much you can do with it. I have created a very girly mannequin using pretty lace and ribbons and have carefully used punched out butterflies to create the bottom of the dress on the mannequin and I have placed butterflies also at the top of the mannequin so that it seems as though the butterflies are travelling up the bodice. The mannequin comes in a very plain format and then you can decide how you want to paint it or decorate it. I started by covering the mannequin in a layer of white gesso to make the surface of the bodice smoother and it makes an excellent bottom coat. I have put more photos below to provide a zoomed in image of the different areas of the mannequin. We hope everyone will like this project and if you are interested then don't hesitate to leave a comment or get in touch with us.
