I would name my dressmaker form Sunshine as it would brighten my day to be able to make clothes to actually fit me.Which Professional Dress Form is right for you? ![]() I do not have a mannequin but if I did I would call her Phyllidia, now I do not know where that name came from it just popped into my head when reading your blog. ![]() I sometimes make my own tops and I often think maybe I should get Jeannie a smaller sister but for now it's just Jeannie and me. I am not too sure how old Jeannie is (maybe 20 years) but she is still good and can be adjusted still. She represents so much as it was my Aunty who started to teach me to sew at age nine (59 years ago!) and I am still sewing and love it very much. Much like me!!! I would never get rid of her. Unfortunately Jeannie is too big for my smaller than my Aunty's frame and so Jeannie is in retirement. She lives in my sewing room and is very dear to me. My Aunty was a dressmaker and worked for special dress boutiques making up special orders for customers back in the 1950s and 1960s (before Target, Kmart and clothes cheaply made overseas). I inherited my Aunty Hazel's dress mannequin. I have only just got my mannequin and as she was delivered at 6am I've named her Dawn, also it is the Dawn of a new era in sewing for me have wished for one for over 40yrs, can't wait to dress her up My mother’s name was Nancy and to her horror my brother always called her Fancy Nancy. My mother said, I always moaned when I had to try clothes on she was making me. Jean June was my doll's name and she had previously belonged to my mother The previous owners boys had written various girls names on her body all known to me and all on the plump side so my girl was named by me selecting one of the names written on her body, making sure I never used her name when that particular girl was at our home. She was on the plump side that is my girl. ![]() Oh dear many years ago I inherited my girl from a friend of my mothers who only had boys. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gives names to work tools and dare I say other things also! Oh dear, I hope there's no organisation to prevent cruelty to dress manaquines! And I suppose it's not politically correct to call them dummies?! My mannequins name is Maggie, she insists that she does all the work, while I just skive off, and she constantly complains that she's gets left holding the top, she feels very abandoned at times. My mannequin is Deknees, because she hasn’t any. Hi Shelley, I love reading your blog too, ![]() My mannequins Name is Betty i always give names to all my machine too big Bertha and Queenie Mine is Millicnet the manni - also known as Milly!
