ME!!! But you know, today's Inspiration Challenge suggested by Polly (peeps321) took me back to days I have only imagined through movies and coffee table books. Back to the days of my mother and aunties in photographs. Glamour days!
To honor this luscious collection, I wanted to be a maker. A seamstress. That meant bringing out the Stampers Anonymous mannequin. It was stamped on mixed media paper in the Memento Luxe and embossed with the Mixed Media 'Lime' ep. I fussy cut leaving a bit of white edge to make it pop against the brown. It took some time to figure out how to use that '60's pattern fancy art paper. Rather than cutting it off at the top, I just had it go down the back. I do love that curvy pattern!
The sentiment, by F Baldwin is a B Line Designs stamp. I cut it apart to make it more...
Dressmakers always have pins and tapes and random threads. I added the clock brad, safety pin, and three snippets of gold, tan, black, and orange.
Thanks so much for your comments. And to our Challenge designer and hostess...what a marvelous uplifting site. So, so much there to go back and explore...I mean Mary Quant is opening there next month!!!!

Oh joy, Susan! I love everything about your creation. The green dress form, the button, the fibers, the geometric side panel & the cut saying. Great take on the challenge.
