Welcome Friends~ It's a Dress Form Ball today at Carol's blog, The Polka Dot Closet and so I have a few forms to share in the fun.
From my studio, I have a black and white dress form in full size wearing a damask apron, pink, black and white scarf, vintage pearls, brooch and of course, a pink cowgirl hat dangling off her neck.
Also from my studio I have a pretty feather dress form I created using a dress form ornament that I attached to a vintage thread spool, white roses at the neckline and sequin trim.
And another studio form in pink to hold crystal supplies, bits and babbles and little ornaments used to design with.
One of my favorites is this wire from that I display with a crocheted vintage collar and it stands on a dressing chest. I love this form to hold necklaces or scarves.
For pins and also necklaces, I enjoy this dress form that was originally a pin cushion for the sewing room.
From my recent dining room redo, I have this frenchy iron dress form wearing my mother's vintage scarf, waist beads and crocheted collar and vintage dress pattern neck rose. If you would like to visit my redesigned dining room click HERE to view.
This wire dress form is a helpmate in the sewing room to hold supplies from the hooks that come off the forms front. It hangs on the wall near my sewing machine.
In my guest bedroom I display this pretty dress form above a vintage wardrobe. This one stands along with a vintage hat stand and a vintage hat from the
40's.
Lastly another favorite is this distressed ivory and iron dress form. I display this one in my shabby cottage bedroom. She is wearing a pink vintage hat and pearls.
Thank you Carol for hosting this fun party. I look forward to visiting many more participants today at the Ball.
Till next time, have fun and see you soon.
Blessings, Celestina Marie

Hi Celestina!
Oh my, the pretty black and white feather dress form is my favorite I think. All those lush feathers! Ooh la la! Also, that gorgeous distressed ivory and iron piece....
Anything Vintage and pink, I'm there! For some reason this year, I've been adding touches of a light grey into my cream and pinks, which I just love.
Thank you for showing your beautiful dress forms! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead ~ xo
They are all so frilly & feminine even without the bling on them!! You have a lovely collection!
Have a Peaceful Day!

Hi Celeste, My, your ladies look fabulous, and all ready for the ball! It's going to be lots of fun ~ my lady is all ready to go, and I hope she behaves herself, lol :)
Warmest hugs, Brenda
They are all so lovely! And are sure to have a great time at the party!!
TFS!!!
Hope y'all have fun at the ball!
okay....I have a suggestion. Make that gorgeous feather dress form into a tassel (maybe it already is...I can't tell) and if you do I will be the first to buy one. :) All your forms are so fantastic!!...Ben, my shop manager, is by my feet at this moment. Golden's are the BEST! We keep thinking we want to get Ben a play mate but two fur balls in the house may be too much.
I love the feather form! How clever was that? I have one dress form. It is black iron and I dress it according to the seasons. Right now it is wearing a mink stole (my mothers) and a felt hat with a feather (the Princess Di look!) was mine and I actually wore it often! The form is in my little girlies room and they love to dress it up with ribbons and jewelry!
The black and white ones are so pretty! You have so many sweet dress forms! Loved visiting you at the "Ball"!

Hello Celeste! You have a lot of sweet dress forms! ♥
Oh goodness, I am so glad I sent two carriages to pick up all of your girls!! The house must seem empty with all of them at the ball!! I love the black and white one and the one in your bedroom I would LOVE she is oh so shabby! I am so honored and thankful that you attended, I promise to get the girls back safe and sound!
Carol
Hi Celeste... love all of your beautiful dressforms!... I think my favorite is the last one, in your shabby cottage bedroom... Tessy sends love and thanks for her birthday wishes from you and Miss Beazy!... xoxo Julie Marie and Tessy
Very nice collection of dress forms! Popping in from Carol's dress form party to say hi!
Celestina,
I have always enjoyed these little dress forms. These are so lovely. I found one at Ross when I was shopping one day, and I had to get it. It was a champagne dress, 20's style, and very unique. I think my favorite of yours was the black and white one. I think the color combination of black and white is so bold, classy, and pretty. You're so clever with these dress forms, my friend.

Oh my Celeste, and I'm so excited to have purchased my own FIRST dress form. My grandmother's vintage black nightgown is on it. I've taken some pics, I need to share them. It's in my office that has the Tiffany Aqua blue walls in...and it's just so nice to walk in and see her. At the foot of the dress form that stands on it's own are my Grandmother's shoes...black with colorful threads weaving a floral design in them. They fit me perfect! (the shoes that is) :) The nightgown is so skinny...she must've weighed all of 98 lbs when she wore it. My grandmother died 8 years ago - she would have celebrated 100 years this May if she were still living. I drove to AL this past weekend to visit her sister, now celebrating 98 years in July. Her name is Ruby... My grandmother was Odessa Inez...different names. :) My great grandfather used to call my grandmother "Dessie". My grandfather insisted on calling her "Inez". So, she was Inez from 16 on...
Thanks for sharing ALL your lovely dress forms...I love them ALL!
Wow, they are all so beautiful. There is something about dress forms I just love. Every time I see one, I have to take it home.
Oh WOW, Celeste, they are all soooo beautiful!!! Amazing, my friend!!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! You are pure inspiration!
Love,
Cindy
Hi Celeste,
They all look so pretty, I can see that these could be very addictive.
BTW I couldn't understand why you weren't posting anything then suddenly realised it was silly ol' me . . . now you can see me following and I can see you in my side bar at long last.
Good to catch up with all the reading I missed too!
Warmest hugs,
