Designing your own Dress Form Christmas Tree is a fun project, even for beginner crafters.
In addition to being a fashion themed holiday display, they are also an eco-friendly way to decorate. Because after Christmas is over, you can remove all the decorations and use the dress form for displaying jewelry or clothing. You can’t do that with a Christmas tree!

This year, we’re in the midst of building work (so exciting; I’ll post a tour of it all in January :-)), so I’ve built her in what will soon be a brand new orangery. For now though it’s an empty, gallery-like space that harnesses the weak winter light and gives her an ethereal glow for most of the day.
