Vintage Style: Dress Up a Dress Form

Dress forms are flexible enough to take any decorating motif with ease, so dress them up or leave them bare and they will do the rest with feminine and intriguing grace. I’ve always been fascinated with apparel forms; they create any area seem fantastic. These sculptural objects are available in many sizes and serve as blank canvases that you build your very own stylish displays with jewelry and dresses.
