Part of my next big A&S project is going to be displayed on my dressmakers dummy, but part of it needs its own stand. I thought briefly about purchasing a second dummy, or a mannequin torso or something, but then I realized that I had an 8’ long 2x4 in the garage that I could use to build a stand for free.
Tada! Okay, so it’s very basic and it’s not going to win any beauty pageants. But it’ll do what I need it to do.
The stand is 20” wide at the shoulders - my shoulder measurement - and 25” tall, which is a little shorter than my waist-to-hip measurement. It should fit a jacket or shirt or something just fine.
Here it is with the hood on it that I’ve been playing with since February:
I’ve now finished the pleated serk (which I posted about here) and this stand - that’s two pieces of a five-piece project. I’m halfway through the third part of the project but it’s not going well - I’m considering scrapping the whole thing and starting over with different fabric, to be honest.
More on that soon, I hope.
