Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker​'s dummy wearing today?

My daughter's Hapkido gi onto which I sewed three patches that looked crooked 
until the gi top was draped on Rosie Marie. Nancy, named for Nancy Drew, the 
second dressmaker's dummy, is nude...

[Franchesca Havas]

Mine is currently wearing a Super Girl costume. 16 year old has costume day
at school tomorrow and the only one I could find _said_ it was a size 10
but if this is a size 10 then my nearly 6ft daughter must be a size 0. :P

Carefully taking it in stratigically so that it does not rip the ultra thin
velvet stretchy thing.

Mine is currently wearing a custom fitted cover that I finally got around to 
making and need to pad out with something firmer than fiberfill.  So she's 
nude, but it counts as a sewing project.

Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker​'s dummy wearing today?

Mine is wearing a hunter green cashmere coat from a Vogue Designer
pattern that needs, hems, cuffs and a final pressing.  There is no
hope I'll have it done for this winter. Maybe next...
She's also wearing my houseguest's jacket & hat.

[R Lloyd Mitchell]

The 'dummy' I am working with this week is for a 20" model, seated. The project 
is an interpretation of Queen Victoria's portrait in the Diamond Jubilee 
gallery.? Black satin with antique lace overlay...even have a small piece of 
Honiton to use.? Researching the Crown was lots of fun...didn't know there was 
so many resources for this online. The model is dated 1984 and dour enough to 
be just right. Thanks again to Fran for pattern shapes!

Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker​'s dummy wearing today?

[Emily Gilbert]

I'm working on the Past Patterns 1793-1820 Transition Stay (which, 
incidentally, I do not recommend as a pattern unless you already know 
what you're doing - the instructions are very vague and confusing in 
several crucial areas).  I got myself into a major muddle with the 
initial round of fitting, and I've just bought another length of the 
fabric I'm using (off-white cotton duck) so I can cut out the main body 
pieces again and start over.  This gives me just under two weeks till 
the time I need to have the stays done, so hopefully I'll be able to 
make it...

I am working on building my FSF costume for a group entry at Balticon in
May, after CC30, like last year, I"m going to be wearing purple, although
with far fewer beads.  My upstairs dress form is wearing 1860's
historical reproduction, for my upcoming Lunacon costume.  Unfortunatley
I keep getting sidetracked by amazing quilt ideas--the quilting lady has
4 of my quilts in progress right now, and I have at least two more I have
to bring to her!

Yours in cosutming, Lisa A

One of my dummies is on display at the Riversdale House Museum, wearing a dark 
brown short gown with dark blue floral design and a dark blue wool 
petticoat--this is one variant of the dress of enslaved African Americans in 
the early 19th century.  There are four other figures included in different 
outfits.
