Description This was a recent commission for a Lady Loki bodice.  My customer wanted a corseted bodice with lots of really cool detailing, so we decided to go with scalemail for the front and leg pieces, along with accents of decorative top stitching.  I also made all of my own piping, probably 7 yards total.  Having never worked with scalemail before, this was quite the learning experience!  Needless to say, I'm very happy this is finished (and so are my hands, haha).

Oooo really awesome! Now sorry to skip over your work but is the a dressmaker's dummy I see? Do you like it? What type is it and would you recommend it to others?

It is!  I'm not sure what brand it is (it was just what I could find).  I really like that it's adjustable, which I'd highly recommend, especially if you sew for other people.

ok, sorry to ask yet another question (but these things are expensive and I want to get the perfect one) so im guessing its adjustable waist, bust, hips anywhere else? Also did it come with a stand.

No, just those three points, though there are adjustable dials all the way around the form, which is nice.  And yes, it came with the stand.  Sometimes it's hard to pin things to this, as it's just a thin layer of foam under the fabric, as opposed to the older kind that are stuffed all the way through.  But, that's the price you pay for being able to change the size, I suppose.
