Ta da! My first shabby chic vintage dress form doll is finally finished. What better day to show her off than the official launch date of the
Paper Wardrobe Project.
The dress form is made entirely of paper using both paper machè and decoupage techniques.
Wire was inserted through the length to create the stand which was then painted and shaved in places for a distressed look.
Her drop waist dress is a double layer of gathered tissue paper with some loosely twisted silk ribbon tied with a big loopy bow and embellished with a spray of paper roses.
Vintage lace and paper roses adorn the neck with just a little bit of gathered tulle added at the shoulders to give a hint of sleeve.
The base of the stand is embellished with a hand made arrangement of paper roses. I love this doll and already have plans for the next one.
OMG Kellie Girl!! This is a masterpiece! I adore how this came out, what an awesome piece you've created. It is nice to see more of your work again. And by the way, I do love your drawing and paintings as well. This little piece is just beautiful!
