Dressing a Mannequin

The other day I went into Lincraft to pick up a couple of scrapbooking supplies and came out with a Mannequin.

I have always wanted to dress one with paper, lace and flowers but always had trouble finding one. 

This is what I created - the first step was to paint it purple - but that was a mistake, I didn't like the colour so I decided to rip up little pieces of paper and glue them to the bodice.  Once they were dry I covered the bodice with gloss.  Then I made the skirt from paper triangles in two different paper patterns which I attached to the mannequin.  I then made a skirt of lace and my special beaded lace.  The final step was to cover with flowers, feathers and lace.  It was fun and I am really thrilled with how it finished.
