Little and large mannequins. I've had the full sized mannequin since my days at uni. I have draped many, many looks on her and she continues to be integral to my creative process but as I endeavour to become more sustainable, I bought Gerty, the half scale mannequin. By her measurements, she's 50% smaller than the original but she's tiny and will be how I create more designs without wasting materials. I've made a couple of dresses using Gerty so far and people thought they were dresses for babies. I had fun explaining that I wouldn't design corseted strapless dresses for babies...but I'll be using her more and more as I reestablish my creative voice. Get ready to be sick of her.
