Paula,
LOL! It is so sweet that you have a dressmaker's dummy named after me and
you dressed me so nice! Thank you! I feel like a dressmaker's dummy... I
am down to the crunch of the semester and reading all my students' papers.
I loved this thread last time around. Thank you all for bringing it back
around.
I have six dressmaker dummies at school and all are dressed in original
1960s fashions. Let me see if I can remember what they are wearing.
1. She is wearing a gold beaded baby doll w/ bloomers . She also has
matching gold beaded go-go boots. A VCU fashion design student made this
outfit in the 1960s.
2. A mod pucci-ish printed mini-dress with an empire waist and large navy
blue sash and bow at the waist.
3. A five-color mini dress with a matching short jacket. This dress is cut
really weird with swerved vertical panels, each being a different
eye-popping color.
4. An off-white full length A-line dress that is has an Asian flavor. The
dress has a slit from the center-front hem to shortly below the privates.
My guess is that pants or hot pants were worn underneath it.
5. Another heavy gold and silver beaded mini dress on white satin. When I
first looked at this dress I thought it was from the 1980s because of the
size and abundance of beading. But it is 1960s from the documentation.
This dress is so-o-o heavy!
6. She is wearing a full-length fitted evening dress with a square l-o-w (to
the waist) back. This dress is pink with white seed sized beads and silver
sequins in a decorative pattern on the bodice and around the arm-holes. The
bodice is sleeveless and a plunging front neckline. This dress has a
secret. It has built in falsies!!!
YIPPEE! Brain dead me... I remembered what all my girls are wearing!
Oh well, one day these will all be online. I have photographed, documented,
and written descriptions for the entire costume collection. It is just
getting the time to put them online. It won't be soon... I was just
assigned summer school.
Back to fine tuning tomorrow's lesson! The 1970s!
