Shirley Wood - antique dress form



Meet Shirley Wood, so named because she Shirley Wood if she could, named by our dear friend Tyler. The dress form underneath is an antique, that has seen better days. So we picked up a styrofoam head at a local thrift store after Halloween so it was super cheap and I painted her up. She wears a wig a friend gave us after he was done using it and the earrings are clip on ones made with a plastic binder cover and a coffee can lid. We change her clothes with the season and many think she is real at first. Also, the dress form was a gift from an old neighbor that was a clothing designer who was moving and could not take it with her. It was a thank you for being there for her when she needed me.
