Dressforms Everywhere

Dressforms have been popular for years in the art and fashion world.... and they continue to be trendy, especially in the crafting community! Dressforms are everywhere you look – stamps, patterned papers, die cuts, chipboard, fabric, on and on. I normally add dressforms to my layouts and cards as embellishments. Then recently I received this large intricate Blue Fern Studios dressform from Scraptown Lady. I decided to make this dressform the center piece for my project instead of an embellishment.

So here is the dressform canvas I want to share with you today!

The background is a collage of Graphic45 papers. I used Graphic45 tags, fussy cut Graphic45 clocks, and die cut flowers for embellishments. The dressform is chipboard and I painted it bronze and black. I was going to add folded papers and ribbons to the dressform (to make a “dress”), but the dressform is so beautiful on its own that I decided minimal was better to show it off!

How have you used dressforms in your projects recently?
