No pictures today, sorry!
I was back at the Historical Society this morning, where the ladies and I took down mannequins. The school program starts at this site on Thursday, and we needed to get the mannequins OUT of the areas where the children will be. Additionally, one of our mannequins needed to be transported for a display at Soldiers & Sailors.
Two of the ladies got that particular mannequin across town, while the other two ladies and I were at the house. The silver lace dress was carefully taken off and repacked, as the black velvet. Getting the dresses off the mannequins and properly repacked takes some time, as you don't want to cause damage to the costume. However, we were working with a one-hour window.
Charlie, our male mannequin, and two of our 1910s beauties were moved, while our doe-eyed lovely is still on display (but behind a piano). Naked mannequins were also moved about the house and hidden. I feel very icky from all the dust! Additionally, the bottom of the house was cold, while the upper floor was sweltering hot. Eugh. I'm going to hop in the shower after this post.
Anyone have experience with this? It's a Dritz My Double Dressform. Specifically with the chest --- I have a small chest (32A) complete with a chest dent (bra shopping is a PAIN).
