Hooray - I finally bought a mannequin with legs..

[Hattysattic]

As I have to say my half body thing is all well and good but I just can't sell trousers on her as she only goes to mid thigh!

Off to pick her up on Friday from the very nice seller, hopefully I can make it there and back in school hours

She is very dramatic Harriet. I cant wait to see her in one of your fantastic pieces. Looks like a super deal for you!

 

[Hattysattic]

It will be interesting shooting on black though - I think I'll have to try without too much flash? I might just take her to the antiques centre for display.. or more likely she'll end up in my dining room keeping me company during the day!

Hurray! New manni's all around this week!



She looks looks like a very dramatic sculpture.

Very cool manni--she will make your light/bright colored things look so dramatic!

And you got her for a great price!

 

[hatfeathers]

She is dramatic! It will be interesting to see if you encounter any photog'n issues with her shiny darkness.

 

[vintageclothesline]

She is so unique and vintage, too! I don't believe I have ever seen one like her.

Can't wait to see her in action!

ooo, harriet, i like her! puts the emphasis on the garment rather than the dummy (er, manni)

LOVE that 60's number too!!!

 

[vintageclothesline]

Wow, she looks fantastic and Mary is right. It really does put the emphasis on the garment. You made a wise investment!

 

[cmpollack]

Very striking presentation! I love the way the manni is visible but is also part of the background--like others have said, the dress really pops against it!

 

[thevintagebungalow]

I love it!!

Isn't it fun having a manni? :bouncing:

Your clothes are modeled much better - and you have a new friend.
