1940s velvet dress...in the shop soon!
Since I started La Poubelle Vintage in 2009, I’ve maintained
more or less the same method for photographing the clothes—on a dress form.
Mostly this is for convenience, I can photograph items more quickly this way, but
I’ve always been interested in using a model since some things just look better
on a person. I personally hate being in my own photographs because I’m not
terribly photogenic (you’ll notice that I’m not looking straight at the camera
in any of these photos!) but I thought I’d give it a shot to try and breathe
some new life into items that have been hanging around the shop for awhile. It
also gave me an excuse to play dress up this morning which is always fun! Any
vintage sellers out there have an opinion about models vs. dress forms? I’d
love to hear your thoughts!
