The Perfect Model


I'm sure you all know by now how much I love vintage dress forms. 
This one is by far my favorite. She is from the Foremost Model Co. NY, dated 1948.
She's a bit worn and stained, but that makes me love her all the more.



I've been having some trouble with focus issues lately. I wanted to practice on my boys today, but my older one was at a friend's house and my little one can't be still for very long, so my #1 gal became my model. A least she doesn't wiggle and make the photos blurrier then they already are. :)



How's everyone doing lately? I hope your all having a beautiful Fall week. After a heat wave the last few days here, our temps are suppose to drop, yea!!

Have a great Friday all and a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Melinda

  5. Melinda,
    I have been visiting, but due to family and work demands, just catching up with comments.
    Your photography is becoming more refined. What a wonderful patina story that you have here, today. I love the cage beneath the dress form.
