Painting Your Dress Form

Painting your Dress Form in pretty colours will give you a really beautiful look in easy steps ... and you will be so pleased with the look once it is done.

Well this tutorial will take you down a completely different  route, and show you how to decorate the dress form with the aid of a small pot of Acrylic paint instead... and a small pot will go a long way.

You could even try this with the tester pots of paint from the local DIY store

The look can be just as effective and then you can dress it up from the embellishments that you already have in your "Stash"  ... anyway you wish.

I coloured the whole of the form with some pale paint and then gave the top of the body two coats of Flesh coloured paint for a really authentic look.

The dress was then coloured with a couple of coats of black paint  and the pictured one has Marabou Feather Trim and red roses on the dress, the hat and also the stand.

These Dress Forms are from  IndigoBlu  and come complete with the  stand 

So make your self a cuppa and let the short video show you how to achieve the look you want in easy to follow steps.

This is the  Little Black Dress  that I created in the film but you will of course need to leave it on one side to dry completely before you can move to the next step.

 I  decided to add some beautiful Diamanté "Bling" from Want2Scrap  for a really glamorous look.

I placed it around the bottom of the skirt area and then along the bodice and another piece over the shoulder to look like a strap

The picture on the right shows you how you can make it even more special by the addition of the skirt and all I used was a length of tassel braid to dress it up.

So the next tutorial will be showing you how you can add a skirt to your own dress form, for an even more feminine look
