  • Making Mannequins, Part 2
    Making mannequins, part 2 Fosshape mannequins This information sheet outlines how to make simple, bespoke mannequins for displaying garments. A garment displayed on a correctly fitted mannequin will reveal its style and shape but also ensures that there is no strain on the fabric. In the Conservation Unit of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, we frequently make Fosshape mannequins and accessory supports in our exhibitions. Using Fosshape material to make mannequins is simple, creative, inexpensive, quick, clean and very effective. What is Fosshape? Fosshape is a low melt, non-woven, polyester fabric, similar in appearance to felt but stiffens when heated with steam. It is lightweight, breathable and easy to cut and stitch. A piece of Fosshape can be fitted onto a form, such as a dressmaker’s mannequin or mannequin parts, such as heads, legs, arms. Applying heat and pressure to the Fosshape will cause it to stiffen and take on the Example of a silk wedding dress, from 1887, on an shape of the form beneath it.

  • Lauren Bush and David Lauren: Newlyweds
    Lauren Bush and David Lauren: Newlyweds After a year of planning, Lauren Bush, the niece of former president George W. Bush, and David Lauren, the son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, finally tied the knot. The couple were wed at the massive Double RL Ranch in Colorado, reportsPeople . The ranch, named for Ralph Lauren and his wife Ricky Lauren, covers 17,000-acres of land in the Rocky Mountains. Though the ceremony was on Sunday, the entire weekend was devoted to family activities such as picnics, softball and rodeos. Lauren Bush faced a tough decision when it came to choosing her married name, but finally settled on Lauren Bush-Lauren, choosing to both take her husband’s name and avoid confusion. How do you decide whether to take your partner’s last name? Cupid’s Advice: Many marriages are becoming more and more modern, with many women choosing to keep their last names. Here are a few things to consider before making your decision: 1. Outside pressure: Make sure to recognize any outside influence on your decision. It’s your name, so your family’s traditions or your friend’s ideas should have no major impact. 2. Your ideals: Are you old-fashioned? If so, you may want to take your husband’s name. If you’re more modern, you should consider keeping your name. You need to be comfortable with your name, so make sure it’s something that fits with your goals and values. 3. Compromise: It isn’t bad to compromise if you can’t make a decision.

The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846. In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28). The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.

    A YIDDISH GUIDE TO HILLARY CLINTON by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe Syosset, New York Hillary Clinton kicked off her presidential campaign on June 13, in New York City. The lady who once declared, “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas,” wants to reside in the White House. This proud “bobe” to baby Charlotte, says she’s the most qualified to become president because she was married to a president for eight years. One late night comedian commented: “Now let me ask you, if a brain surgeon (“moyekh khirurg”) quit his job, would everyone in the operating room say, ‘Wait, let’s get his wife?’” Shown below is a Yiddish guide to Hillary Clinton: “machatunim”/”mechutonim” (relatives through marriage, In-laws.
