No, it's not. That's a semi formal dress that I bought a few years ago. The dressmaker's dummy is though. My house has a Victorian theme and I wanted to showcase a vintage looking dress that I had. She loaned me "Esmeralda" at that time. Several years later, she gave her to me. Now Esmeralda stands beside my Standard treadle machine in the living room sporting a different dress each season.

Love the quilts and runners,but that mankin dressed standing by the window is a jewel, love it. I have a dress from long ago and size of my youth would look great displayed that way instead of hiding in the back of my closet. good idea.. thanks for sharing
