Last week I bought a vintage mannequin from
Eclectic in Durban. I need it to display some of my products for photographing! It has to be recovered and it needs a stand - I'll show you how it turns out - when it does!
Since acquiring the
Mannequin [Should I give her a name?], I've noticed a few mannequins around the place:
For inspiration -
Malinki do a wonderful job of upholstering French Mannequins in inspirational fabrics!
Zazzle.co.uk have these lovely mannequin tote bags:

How quaint is this Embroidered Mannequin design by
Tilda?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrtbiiFkD9ArqHmAaeAZof4dvwws5A4x1wKcf1cikfEnJLlqyW1t52wAY83KBItRI2Y1ei0GqJJ_IkOHic0ZOYTw_8zJAUEPK-Cent-y18oeMjdmZ7Clv3HbYj3UGoVx6DZrPWzah8Nufh/s400/mannequin+tailortildabonus.JPG)

That is such a great project - mannequins speak of potential, wonderful fabrics draped and pinned into a dreamy design. Have fun!
Such exciting things happening.
I do think she needs a name
(-:
Can't wait to see how yours turns out. No doubt it'll be beautiful.
She does need a name, something grand!
I love mannequins - I have forever wanted to own a vintage one - how wonderful that you were able to find one! Cannot wait to see your Freshly Redone one! (I think a name is a great idea, I vote for Coco!)
While I love the adjustable mannequin I got as a Christmas present last year, the vintage ones really are so appealing. If only I could justify having two!
I would love an old mannequin. Sounds like a great find!
