This Christmas, more than anything else, Janae wanted a dress form to help her with her sewing. While we knew this would be a useful purchase, we probably didn’t realize all it would imply….. Kind of like in the kids' book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie :)
So, if you give Janae a dress form, she’s going to want a hoop skirt to go with it. Seeing the hoop skirt, she’ll want to make a petticoat, and then she’ll need some fabric.
Once she’s got all that satin, she’ll need a large patch of floor where she can cut out a giant circle skirt.
When the skirt is cut out, she’ll need a fancy top to make it into a ball gown.
Once Janae sees the gown, she will want to cut out layers and layers of sparkly netting to go over the top.
And you know, when Janae sees that beautiful dress on the dress form, she’ll want to try it on (even if she’s sick with a bad cold!).
After that, the dress form will be free, and Janae will be ready for a new idea.
Because if you give this girl a dress form, the one thing she will need is a project :)
(The beautiful burgundy ball gown was a capstone project for her Grade 10 careers class, where one career she explored was seamstress.)
