Mark your Calendars for The Polka Dot Closets 2nd annual Dress Form Ball!!
I'd like to see a show of hands....Do you own a dress form, vintage, new, full, half, hanging...Any form?
Now is the time to start picking out A dress for the ball!
Wait....If you don't have a dress form? Barr Display has generously offered this table top dress form for one of my readers to transform any way they like!
A lot of possibilities for this sweet table top form
The tutorial for this sheet music covered form is HERE
This table top dress form is available from BARR DISPLAY
If you live in Orlando or Baltimore there is a Barr Display store in town, or you can order online.
This is two parts, the form and the base.
The form can be used alone and has a swivel hanger.
The form is $8.95
The base is $12.00
The form and base are #8020 and come in black and white. Put #8020 into "Search" in their online catalog
The shipping is actual cost
This is not a paid advertisement. I just think for $20.95 it's a great deal for anyone dreaming of owning a dress form!
If you would like to enter the drawing to win the dress form....Cross your fingers and leave a comment! Make sure there is a way I can contact you if you win
I will pick the winner by random number on Tuesday 1/ 8 /13
Good luck and happy Creating!
Carol

We love the music one too! Kelly and I would love to win one to decorate! You know how to reach me :)
oooh I'd love to win a dress form! I love the way you dressed it up!
Carol,
My fingers are crossed!! I loved seeing your ball last year can't wait to see this one.
Blessings,
Amy Jo
I would love to own a dress form so I am in too. I will also see what I can do to find one! Dianntha
I'm in too! I'm working on something FABULOUS for "Frances" to wear this year! Please include me in your drawing! I've crossed my fingers and said my prayers!! In everything, give thanks, GrandmaSoucie
I would so love to win. Please put my name in the hat!
Happy New Year!
Lorena
Well of course I would love to be included...even though my dress form lost a few of her pieces last year. Hopefully I will have a better behaved one this year.lol
I am always game to decorate a new lady to join the ball.
Oh how I'd love to have her! Then I wouldn't be the only female around here! LOL! But seriously, I would LOVE to have a dress form. . . Been coveting these for a while.
I'd love to win the dress form. Also, I enjoy your blog. You have great ideas!
I have a vintage dress form in my antique booth. I named her "Clara" after my dear grandmother. I would love to win the dress form that you are giving away - count me in!
I still need to get one of these so I don't miss out on the fun again this year!

This was so much fun last year I am looking forward to your second annual Dress Form Ball. Please include me in your drawing. I adore your forms you have decorated. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...
I took your advice a while ago and bought two forms from Barr Display - shipping is kinda high but it was fun to decorate. I got one done and sold - now to do the other one! I have three full size forms - one vintage, one modern wire, and one real Singer dressform. Can't get enough of them!!! Thanks for the chance to win another!
Seriously? I would love a dress form!! Then I would love to come to the ball! This is a great deal. I seen some body tops like this in both female and male variety at our Salvation Army, only $95 a piece! Uh, I thought this was a thrift store?? So of course I didn't get one. $20.95 is a great deal!
Blessings,
Susie
I would definitely love a chance to win this, Carol! I agree, that is a great price. If I don't win, I have a small wire one {that is about all that I can fit} that I use when I'm photographing my child size aprons, and I have a very small tabletop one that I decoupaged and made an apron for that sits on my sewing table.
Oh please include me in your drawing, I love this form, and see so many possibilities!
Count me in. There's always room for one more lady in my house:-) Looking forward to the ball again this year.
awesome!! I'd love to win her!!

Happy Weekend!
Warmly,

I can't wait for the ball...last year was such fun seeing everyone's creativity. And count me in for the drawing. Good luck to the lucky winner! Thanks Carol.

I missed the party last year, but I have been saving a dress form for just this very occasion so I better get busy and make that baby over. Thanks for so much advanced warning.
Years ago, I used to live in Florida (I returned to my home state of Minnesota. I know, I know...what was I thinking? lol) The next trip south I take, I am coming to your store. I love all your ideas!! Please enter me in the dress form contest as I would love to try my hand at copying your lace girl. Love her!!

Can't wait to see all the great Ball attire!! Please enter me into the dress giveaway Thank you!
Oh, I want to win this
sooooo bad! You don't know
how long I have wanted a
dress form to cover with
sheet music like yours (I'm
a pianist) so this would be
perfect!
I would love to join your Dress form ball and please enter me in the Giveaway!
Big Hugs to you Carol,
xoxo Marilou
Oh- Carol-I just love those dress forms. They are just amazing, aren't they? My daughter has a couple of them and she had one long before they were cool- maybe 15 years ago. I hope you have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
Oh I'd like to enter for a chance to win the table top dress form! Looking forward to the ball!

Carol, Happy New Year to you and please enter me in your great giveaway! I love those dress forms and had such a good time last year at the ball. I can be reached at jsgreer@twc.com. Thanks.
I LOVE the dress form with the sheet music! How FUN! I would love to be in the drawing!
I love your blog!! I learn so much!! Thank you!! I would LOVE to win this dress form<3
Missed it last year but Im going to attend this year! I have a QUESTION however. These manikins....what are the backs like? are they those hollowed out backless forms? I LOVE the stands!
I've never been asked to the ball before! (I'm such a Cinderella!)
Thanks for the chance to win a dress form. (I sooooo ♥ your lace-covered one!) I'm torn between that, the sheet music or vintage bling bling...
I do have an antique dress form that wears my wedding dress in my wedding shrine in a corner of my bedroom. Sometimes when I'm altering a garment for a customer I have to unbutton alllllll the buttons to free the form.
I'm so glad that you're doing this again this year! Mae attended last year, so I think Betty will attend this year. She will be busy planning her party attire. :)
Cathy ♥
You have such wonderful ideas! If I won the table top dress form, I would have a wonderful time decorating it!
barbararizona@yahoo.com
I would love to win this!!!
Carol, I would absolutely love to win the dress form,,,I love reading your newsletters and blog...
Carol, You sure know how to put the pressure on a girl. I vowed to complete six of your tutorials this year. I was still resting!!
Every time I pass that box, in the garage, with the pieces to the antique dressform I think of you. I guess I will have to get my b**t busy and get it ready for the party. However, if I win the dress form, I can dress that and put off digging into that box for a while.
Happy New Year, xo Ginger
I have an old dress form and I bring it out a few times a year and try to dress her...and absolutely nothing I put on her looks right. I'll have to start looking and thinkin...
Oh yes, I would love to win the dress form. So much fun!! I have a miniature form for my necklaces but would love a dressform to make a beautiful design!! Di
Hi Carol, Count me in. Last year was so fun and I am looking forward to this event again. In fact, I thought of it the other day when I was moving around a dress form and wondered if you were going to have the ball again. So glad you are hosting this year too.
Thanks for letting us know early.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, CM
I have wanted one of these table top beauties for years. Hope I win but if not, now I know where to go. As Always ~ Thanks for sharing your creativity. Lynn

I'm a faithful reader but this is my first comment ever :) Inspired by the chance to win one of the dress forms. I just purchased a full size one to use for display and this would be perfect alongside it.
