So I'm seriously in need of a new mannequin for my shop. My old one is beginning to get a little bit funky in the back and it is too big for anything smaller than a size 8 (and somehow also doesn't work for some larger clothes like the last photograph of the 1950s shirtwaist dress, which is a size 10, and the first photograph of the late 1950s striped dress and matching jacket, which is a size 12.) I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do. I'd rather use the one I have until I simply can't and I don't really want to buy a second smaller one because it would be just floating around the apartment and our place isn't really that big. In the meantime, I've decided to simply use Berlin as a backdrop. The dark gray is the front of an apartment building on Müllenhofstrasse in Kreuzberg's Graefekiez and the white is in the fabulous Riehmers Hofgarten where I would love to have an apartment but where it's pretty much impossible to get one....
