I am so excited to join Carol's dress form party at the Polka Dot Closet. I LOVE dress forms and decided to make some to celebrate this fun event.
In keeping with the calendar of inspiration, I have the perfect quote for today!
Time is a

Isn't this a perfect quote for and so true!!! I have experienced it more than once myself.
Now onto this very fun blog party!
I have LOVED leopard for many, many years and many, many dress sizes. If you can't wear the dress anymore, then buy a pair of shoes, handbag, or better yet - make a dress form in soft velvety leopard. I had fun making these. It looks great on a dresser. Doesn't it just make you want to roar?!
This next grouping is more in the colors of shabby chic. Since college (that would be a while ago) I have LOVED pink and green and white! So, what is more perfect than these angelic dress forms in shades of mint, pink and white and wings.
This last one was fun to make too! I think we should call her Sophia for her Italian flavor. She is done in a tapestry of wine, gold and black. She also looks great on my dresser.
I didn't get my last dress form done - it is still in my head. But, I am sure to get even more inspiration as I look around at what others have done. I think I want a section of one of my rooms to be full of dress forms.
Enjoy your day and be sure to stop by to see Carol at the Polka Dot closet and the others who have joined this fun party!
Blessings,

What fun! I have always heard that every house should have at least one leopard thing in it to complete it! Love your forms! xo Diana
So lovely! Pink, green and white is also one of my favorite color combinations!...Nancy :o)
Dress forms catch my eye every time! How did you make yours? What size are they?
Pink, green, white are so classic and remind me of spring. Only 44 days to go!
You did lots more than I did! But I did order one of the torsos from the Barr display site and have one just waiting for some covering! I had pink and green as my wedding colors back in 1977! Add in the white of my dress and I'd be ready to fit in with your angels.♥♫
I just love pink and green together! I like the leopard print as well.
Thank You for sharing and have a great week!

Everybody needs a little animal print--thanks for sharing!
Oh I love pink and green too, but every girl needs a little wild side like leopard! Thank you so much for attending the ball! Oh, we are going to have so much fun!!
Carol
You had me at the leopard! Lovely dress forms! Hope y'all have fun at the ball!
Dress forms are such fun to decorate, dress or redo! It just occurred to me that perhaps this is a form of playing with dolls for big girls! Could that be right?? Thanks so much for sharing!
Pink and green are the colors I decorate my home in, so they would work perfectly here :) Have fun at the party!
Wow, you have dress forms to fit every mood! Popping in from Carol's dress form party to say hi!
Hi Holly, Oh I do like your leopard print dress form. I played with a dress form several months ago. It's on my dresser holding a hat pin I purchased at an antique store in Georgia last May. I'm going to visit The Polka Dot Closet. Thanks! Joyous Wishes, Linda
How fun to see your attendance at this fabulous dress form ball.
they all look great and I like that you created a variety.
What a great collection of dressforms. I love the wings on your pretty pink, white and green dressforms, I need to make wings for some of mine.
Love all of your dress forms!! So much fun!
Hugs,
Debbie
