Dresses are something I would not check on at the thrift store, but that was before I stumbled across a friends blog that was having a dress form party...I had never heard of this...There were about 30 people who wrote an entry about their dress form and how they like to dress them up and share pictures of them..Such beautiful pictures...These pictures were taken outside in gardens, in the potting shed, in the sewing room, and in the kitchen...This looked like it could be fun...It got me thinking 'I could do that'..I do have a dress form that my sister in law gave me a few years ago..I use her to take pictures of my apron collection...Why not dress her up in a prom dress? Well, I did check out the prom dresses at the thrift store, and i found a lovely pink strapless satin number for only $1.89...The dress looks lovely on my dress form, just a little too big, nothing a few pins can't handle ( in the back of the dress, unseen ) Next came the necklace and the beads...And now the big reveal...What do ya think? Lovely..Yes? I am pleased with it...I think I will be checking on the prom dresses from now on, and looking for something in blue...
Happy thriftin....
