hi everyone:) my husband was off work this week, and I didn’t get a lot of time to visit, but, I’m catching up.
this is harper, my dress form—I HAD to name her:) LOVE! (she’s going to look great with wings at xmas time:) I’m going to have fun dressing her..or in this case, undressing her.
I wanted a ragged, old look, so I removed her b/w cover. underneath, she looks like this. I just added a “necklace”-(a pearl candle ring) and hot glued two flowers to some seam binding and tied them around her neck.
here is her other look—(the flowers I added).
thanks for stopping by and have a happy weekend!
I like her better in her {more nude} state. Hobby Lobby. I haven't been there since long before ankle surgery. I'm going stir crazy and I can't go anywhere for at least another month! Hope they don't haul me to the loony bin by then!

Loving Harper. She is much prettier with the original covering removed. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMy poor vintage dressmaker's form looks so sad and neglected now that I see yours. Only you would think to remove the fabric from yours and add a lovely flower wreath around her neck. Harper is the perfect addition to your craft room!
ReplyDeleteHarper looks so much better now that you've 'undressed' her Lynn LOL!!! Can't wait to see all the fun ways, I know, you will dress her up!! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like her without her cover so much better!

ReplyDeleteOoooo so pretty! I need to pay my Hobby Lobby a visit.I have not been in that store for some time.

super cool! i love how you removed the cover.
ReplyDeletesuper fabulous, i love how you removed the cover! just perfect.
ReplyDeleteShe's so much prettier now! Love what you've done!
ReplyDeleteHarper is a pretty gal! I love her new old look much better than her original look. She fits right in.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn she will be fabulous, I bet you were nervous to see what was underneath, but eureka, perfect. Now, you get her dressed because this February i will have my second annual linky dress form ball and i just know Harper will be the belle of the ball

That's awesome!! Love the colors! I can't wait to see how she changes through the seasons!
ReplyDeleteHello Harper nice to meet you pretty gal!
ReplyDeleteLove the old look you gave her Lynn, so clever to just remove the patterned cover!
I made a new pair of wire and paper pulp wings for mine a few weeks ago, but for Christmas I hope to get or make her a pair of delicate lace wings.
Here's wishing you a happy weekend!

Awesome, Lynn!!! I've seen those at some local stores and each time I want to buy one, but I just don't have a place for it. Can't wait to see how you do those wings at Christmas!! (=
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Harper too and much prefer her without her cover. Oh how I wish we had Hobby Lobby here in Australia [sigh].
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at Shabbilicious Friday this week.
LOVE that you named her!:D
ReplyDeleteI love it, Lynn! I saw her at Hobby Lobby, too, and was really tempted, but I just don't have the room. I got a small wire one instead.
ReplyDeleteShe's fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to HL lately, so I hadn't seen these. But your "makeunder" is just what she needed!
ReplyDeleteMy dress forms name is Diana.. She came from a senior lady who back in the day was a playboy bunny. So only fitting to name her after her... Love Harper as well. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is out of this world goreous. Love, love, love it. I am going to put it on my front page blog-list so that I do not miss a single post. I would love to have you visit and if I could I would have cookies and tea waiting on the porch. Connie :)
ReplyDeleteShe's shabulous now. ;)
ReplyDeleteMuch better "undressed" - great find - and on sale too - sweet!
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Thank you for linking this up to Rustic Restorations Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've seen these dress forms at Hobby Lobby but the fabric wouldn't work for me either. It's good to know that the fabric can be removed.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend,
Julie
Thank you for the lovely compliment that you left on my blog. I am delighted that you like my bedroom re-do. I had a lot of fun doing it. I am now following your blog, but my photo did not go on to the list, so if it doesn't show up after I sigh off, let me know and I will hit that button again. Happy weekend! Connie :)
ReplyDeleteI like Harper in her undies, too. You can appreciate her shape even more!

Oh you will have fun dressing Harper up! What a transformation. I never would have seen the potential in that black/white original design. Looking forward to seeing her Christmas outfit.
ReplyDeleteShe's so purty!

I love what you did with Harper! It looks great. Like it so much better now than with the pattern. Were you worried? With my luck there would be nothing but stuffing underneath:)
ReplyDeleteOh Harper looks divine in her new form! I can't wait to see her with angel wings -- she is going to be DROP DEAD gorgeous! You are a miracle worker!!! Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Harper.. Can't wait to see her with wings..
ReplyDeleteHarper is beautiful. I found a cool dress form at TJ Maxx recently that was burlap. I love her. Now, I will have to say that I would rather have an old one, but I just cannot afford one at this time, so my new "Lola" will do me just fine.
ReplyDeleteI love that you named her, I would too! I passes up an old dress form at goodwill this week for $7 - don't ask why - I have no clue what I was thinking. I went back an hour later when I came to my senses and it was long gone :(
ReplyDeleteHarper is love, especially with her transformation. i can't wait to see her with wings. I am your newest follower...via GFC and Linky. I hope you come and visit.
ReplyDeleteWe;; you dress her up and I say yes to the dress:). Love the string of pearls (fab idea). The combo of pearls and damask patterns is striking and gorgeous; love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is just a beautiful job. I love dressforms. This one is gorgeous and a great job!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Love what you did to her!
ReplyDeleteWell, she just looks fabulous! Great idea to remove her cover.
ReplyDeleteshe'd beautiful!!! I like her better "undressed!" love her name too! :-)
ReplyDeleteHarper looks so much prettier undressed... ! I'll be watching to see how she shows up in your posts during the holidays. ":o)
ReplyDeleteoh, wow! Who knew how pretty her "slip" was under the black and white dress? You, I guess! Good call!
ReplyDeleteLove her, she's fabulous!! :) xo Holly
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! She looks much better naked, and you can't say that about everyone!
