The new me is a little stockier than the actual me - about 2" thicker in the waist - but everything else is in balance. Vertically, she looks pretty good. I might get around to further adjustment at some point. Like, when I feel like another wrestling match. It actually might be less troublesome to just eat a lot of ice cream and cookies.
I am very excited about a new upgrade from my current dress form to (basically) a foam version of myself. I spent hours (and hours) fitting the cover to get as close to my own body shape as possible. Then came the all-out-on-the-floor fight to get that cover on the rather large foam body. It wasn't easy. I hurt one knuckle and broke a fingernail.

New to your blog - came over from The Sew Weekly. Do you ever share the patterns you used for the dresses you make? Lots of inspiration!
