Meet Lillian.




This is Lillian. Isn't she marvelous? She's a vintage Wolf dress form from 1951. She once belonged to to a Sicilian immigrant named Calogeda - a dress designer who worked in the New York fashion district as a sample room manager. Lillian was the form she used at home. Am I lucky? She's luminous and transcendent and quite possibly the loveliest thing I own.
Plus, she looks amazing in my new apron.

  1. She.is.gorgeous! I recently received my Stella as a super deluxe birthday gift. She's a PGM Pro with "realistic buttock" I plan to introduce her soon. Your new apron is lovely too! I'm currently working on a new ruffled apron.

Do babble on in the most animated language you can muster. I love hearing from you.
