I'll call her Betty Lou

I've been searching for a dress form...

One I could dress up and name her!

I couldn't find one at a reasonable price, so I did something else!

 I got some floral netting... 


and I made one!


A lot of bending and shaping to give her the right curves!


My family thought I was making a rabbit pinata!


I layered her in strips of newspaper covered in
a flour and water mixture, and let her dry.


For her neck, I used these wood pieces that I glued together and
painted black...

then Mod Podged her with old sheet music.


Betty Lou, all dressed up for photos outside -
she's an inside girl really!
