I love these little advertising mannequins . Excellent . Was she in a blue dress originally ?
hi mannikin ! good to hear from you-
the original was off white with a small swirley pattern.. very yellowed -
did you see the counter top sitter in the red dress that just sold for almost 1,000?
it was shown in the book "counter culture" by steven heller/louise fili.
The one in red suit ? There is one on ebay also for less and in better condition .
Are you talking about this one ?

i remember seeing animations like her in jewelry windows - which were usually shallow and at eyelevel -
