A friend of mine found a Wolf professional dummy with the collapsable shoulders (in my size!) in her neighbor's sidewalk trash and brought it to me. I just had to oil the wheels and let it dry out a little since it had rained that morning.

But as for not having a dummy, don't despair! I found one in a trash can several years ago--I did need to go to the hardware store to find a fitting to hold the stand together, but other than that, she was absolutely free!

If I id, however, she would be wearing one of the pieces I need to make for Federal/Empire/Regency wardrobe I have to finish by mid-January. The all gown is mostly done but I still need a pelisse, walking or carriage own, new shift, new stays, new bonnet, and maybe a new cap. - Hope ______________________________________________ -costume mailing list [email protected] ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
