Meet Millie....
Isn't she beautiful?? I am SO happy! I have been wanting a dress form for soooo long! I really wanted a vintage one, but I rarely find them and when I do they are so pricey! So I decided to just find myself a newer one and this weekend I found this pretty lady on Craig's List for only $35!!!
I will probably end up "aging" her like the fabulous
Heather showed how to do in
this post, but I just couldn't wait to play dress up with her!!
She looks so much prettier in person, but I just couldn't seem to get a good photo of her. My 5 year old sweetie asked me "What is she going to wear?" and "Mama, will you put her head on?". Then he told me "Hey! She looks just like the walking trees on Luigi's mansion(a level on Mario Kart) only she's wearing a pretty dress!"

Hello
Your lady is beautiful...I have covered at least a dozen of those with vintage fabric and also I have painted them and mod podged...they always are very fun. I should have taken pictures before I sold them :( but who knew there would be blogs...
Enjoy your good find
Blessings

What fun you will have with Millie!
I have "tea/coffee* stained new dress forms. Just put it in a spray bottle and go at it...do it a coat at a time (dry in between) until it gets as dark as you want it. It runs so it gives a nice *aged* water-stained look!

The dress form is beautiful! I want one too but same thing, hard to find and pricey. You really scored with that find. She looks lovely just as she is but post if you age her.

Gorgeous! I want one too!! For awhile I was searching for a vintage one on craigslist every day! I finally found one for only $30 but someone beat me to it!
She is a beauty! Loving her! You got a great deal on that form! I have a wire one that has white lights inside of her. She is wearing vintage white clothes and she makes a great lamp. Thanks for the great post!
Your dress form is gorgeous...what a great find!
Cool! How fun. It's like playing dressup when we were little. SHe's a bute!
Hello darling,
I am back and have missed you terribly!! I have a post on my blog that explains my lengthy absence but enough of that, I just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing and to wish you a sunny day. I am now off to read the posts that I have missed and to look around your lovely blog.
Love & Hugs

P.S. Millie is gorgeous!!
Ohhhhh thank goodness! I thought I was the only person who named her dress form! Yippee! I named mine Genevieve and Antionette! :)

Millie is beautiful, I love all the white. I really would love to have one like her. You know I passed up one at a yard sale and she was only ten dollars. I wanted to go back to get it later, but I forgot where the heck the yard sale was. I was very disappointed to say the least.
Hi there! You lucky duck, I LOVE Millie! She's a beauty, and what a bargain...wow! I need to get on the stick and start dolling up my girl now, too. Bling her out a bit, ya know? ;-)
