About a week before Christmas, I came upon an amazing find. There was a local estate sale that I had attended and found some great things. But, there were a few items I was still interested in. I went back for a retro mink coat for my daughter that was a complete steal, and the nice young man remembered me. I want dress form (they had many) and they were all too pricey. So, he brought this one down from the loft and said I could have it for $20.00! I was thrilled!
I had fun dressing her with an antique lace collar and silver locket that my children gave me years ago.
As you can see, her top neck area is broken, but I love her so it adds character. I also love the base. I have not seen any base like that on the internet or Pinterest.
I asked on my social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram) for name suggestions and I am offically announcing her name as:
Miss Adelaide Rose
I will just call her Miss Adelaide. I look forward to having her in the studio area and dressing her up as seasons change.
how much fun you must have had dressing miss adelaide – wonderful name – hope 2018 is especially good to you!
She looks wonderful in that gorgeous lace collar. :)
She is so wonderful, and her sweet name, too -Nancy, what a fantastic find, and sweet young man- I also never saw one look like that ,it is so special, and love the broken part, too. So loving a gift from your kids, deserve to be on lovely Miss Adelaide.
Hugs to you- Dorthe
