The first of a series in which Anya will summarise her mannequin quest to assist in creating your own dress form or display mannequin.

Anya consolidates some of the information on dress forms, discussing different techniques and their various pros and cons.

Anya continues her dressform journey by documenting her own process of making a body cast for accurate fittings.

Inspired by the gilded form seen in many a Sparklewren photograph, Anya has another go at making a display form - with sparkle!

Anya introduces Tambour beading, an embellishment technique using a hook/needle hybrid on fabric stretched in a frame.
