5 out of 5 starsSuch a cute and summery piece. I wish I had more excuses to dress up in quarantine. The seller kindly sent me a face mask made from the same fabric as the obi belt, and I wear it often. Thank you for the extra kindness and fast shipping.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a review for the face masks that MJ started sewing, albeit with her usual haute-couture flair, due to the COVID-19. I purchased several for myself and my husband and they are perfect. A good indicator for this is my husband's reaction: whereas he was dreading looking like a bank robber, once he saw what MJ crafted, he is even wearing it in our (secluded) garden. Thank you, MJ!

5 out of 5 starsOne of a kind shop! This is my third Obi beautifully crafted by MJ. What could I add? Only that, once again, MJ kindly and patiently created an exquisite piece, according to my specifications. And (!) that I have discovered in the process why the materials used by MJ are of such high quality at such reasonable prices: this Etsy shop was created as an outlet for giving a new lease on life to the remnants of all the expensive fabrics used by MJ in her haute-couture dress-making business. This makes MysteriousMannequin--at least to a fabric lover as I am--an Aladdin's cave ... What a find!

5 out of 5 starsI have purchased this Obi for an outfit I am supposed to wear for a garden party in April. It is absolutely beautiful and it looks even better than in the photo as there are slight strokes of silver in places, bringing a three-dimensional quality to the main material (which is of high quality in the first place). The striped side is of a beautiful quality too having a silky feel and shine to it. The bonus is that I discovered this Obi will enhance several other dresses and skirts I own. Thank you, MJ!

color outside the lines!
remember teachers telling you to color within the lines? well, i was born with a set of eyes that did not separate those lines with all the blank space that could be drawn on. I have always quietly marched to my own beat, not out of defiance , just born that way! My mother taught me to sew when i was very small. She is a very talented sewer and knitter. I grew up drawing and painting everything i saw. When i graduated from college (history major) i moved to Chicago . i worked for several fashion designers and would have mini trunk shows at a local clothing store. In 1993 i opened my business MJ ERNST COUTURIER and 20 years later i am proud to say it is very successful and very busy. I create custom high end bridal and special occasion gowns and have the best clients on the planet I started my etsy shop in October 2011. I chose the name Mysterious Mannequin as my name because i wanted something that would reflect the type of items i would list. The name is from a Nancy Drew novel. I drew the Sketch of the "Oh My" black and white girl on my shop banner. My business is in quite a conservative area of Chicago and with my etsy shop it gives me an outlet to create more unique and whimsical items that closer reflect my personality. I have been extremely pleased with the response and now can honestly say i have the best etsy customers in the universe and love the community aspect that it affords.. My life motto is LIVE< LOVE < LAUGH!
