I love dress forms now, but earlier?

When I was in my late twenties, my grandmother was doing a clean out of her sewing room & offered me an adjustable tailors dressmaking dress form.  "What on earth would I want with a dress form?", I replied in my very best whiny 'Angela Anaconda' voice. Sadly, this dress form went to a another good home and I sit here now wishing it was in mine!

Here's a snippet of the beautiful dress form images I'm in the midst of collecting for my dress form pinboard via pinterest.
