Now that I’m in my space I’ve been able to start touching things up to look better for the actual show. One of the tasks I needed to do was sort my mannequins out. The brand new one I had is fine, except the handle thing which I screwed in when I got it. At the time I put it in just to fix the whole thing together, but as I now have the other mannequin without a head or a handle thing they look odd. Therefore off the mannequin cover came and so did the handle.
This now meant that the neck was flat and matched like the other mannequin. Now just the task of fitting this material to the mannequin to make it match more. It would have made my life so much easier if I had just bought two ready made mannequins, however, I will just have to improvise with what I have and make it fit in the best I can in my space.
I also restitched some of the dress where stitches had come loose when I was removing my make-up and stitched it a bit tighter to the mannequin for better shape rather than it just hang limply.
