Me vs the dress form

Okay, basically, I have been taking some pictures of me showing off some of my Etsy items and althought my camera isn't that great at self portraits and I'm not all that photogenic, I do think it would be fair to ask you whether I should continue doing this or just stop and never post my own face in my shop again (- I do admit this last option sounds a little bit harsh.)

These are some example pictures of me modelling two dresses:



Yay or nay?

  1. I really like seeing people actually wearing the dresses online, i think it's more personal and it helps show how the dress sits. (plus i think you're much more photogenic than you give yourself credit!)

    1. Ah thanks. :)
      I have to agree with you indeed - it does give a better insight in what the clothing looks like on an actual person. Sometimes it's disappointing how something that looks great on a dress form loses its charm when you actually wear it!

  2. You are totally photogenic and you model your items so well - so there's your answer!

    Welcome to the Vintage Fashion Team by the way!

    1. Thanks for the compliment - maybe the rest of the world sees me as more photogenic than I do, haha!
      And thank you, I am glad I have become a member. (:

  3. I tend to like it when I see an item on a person AND on a mannequin. If I see it on a person, I'll get a better idea of what it might look like on me.

    Also, you're totally gorgeous! Not photogenic? ha!

  4. I agree with the rest. It's nice to see it on a person. I wish I could model the clothes I have for sale, but they mostly don't fit me and that's why I'm selling them. ha! But if they fit, I say model away and have a shot with it on the dress form as well.

  6. Like all the gals say above, it is nice to see it on both I reckon! I know what you mean, I think we all think we look terrible at times, I think I am hideous, have done since I was a wee one, and still to this day! But after many years of other folk saying I was pretty, I thought, what the hell I don't care! I honestly I think you are super pretty and so just let your worries go and be free!!! :)
