Inspiration...

What do you get if you take the inspiration from handmade torso cushions...
...
Combine it with the influence that only a vintage mannequin offers....
Along with the practicality of a traditional style peg bag(!!) ?...
******************************
Well...?
You get this!
It hangs like a peg bag - Ideal for displaying on a hook, dressing table, or to store in a wardrobe...with the coat-hanger hook doubling as somewhere to thread necklaces over...
A nipped-in waist, just like a mannequin - perfect for storing belts, lengths of ribbon or lace and maybe a few other pretty keepsakes...
(Made entirely from fabulous vintage fabrics for added appeal. (French of course))
And a padded torso shape, softly filled like a cushion, for keeping delicate antique lace collars in shape, draping them over the shoulders...As well as it offering somewhere to pin a collection of twinkling costume brooches!
Boudoir chic for the girl who has everything...and needs somewhere to display it all! ;-))
The first of many! - More to follow, hopefully! - I love developing new ideas. :)
Happy weekend!
