This beautiful lady has come to me thanks to a seemingly insignificant remark during church lunch event a few weeks back. The former owner muttered about having two and wanting to get rid of them. Meanwhile, I had been drooling over new models in Spotlight, deterred by the price. Yesterday I picked her up, paid the meager asking price and took her home. Within an hour she was clothed and I was able to adjust the skirt pleats to suit with the greatest of ease.
So, at tonights school association meeting, I believe the tradies I need to honour would be the seamstresses and tailors of this world, without whom we would have no clothing. My basket of stitching and a tape measure around my shoulders should do the trick quite nicely.

Oh I drool as well over dressmakers dummies! (Maybe call her DeeDee??). I always tell myself I'll get one when I lose weight.. hehe.
See that's the good thing...you wind her out and then you can wind her back in ;) In my case, I am on the outer edges and will never be smaller than the inner ones so this particular size model suits me perfectly.
Wow, that's fab! Isn't it great when things like that happen? I think she would suit the name 'Dolly'! :)
I want one of those! I'd never thought of trying to get one used. I'll go check E-Bay right now!

I'd be interested to see what you find Frances!
The girls and I were tossing around name ideas yesterday. We think maybe Penelope (P-I-nelope, according to Miss Sunshine). I'll see how I feel after mulling it over a bit.
Oh, no - she's a Bertha for sure - ha!
Dolly!! LOL. Yep, she's a big dolly alright! Could I live with a Bertha?
Still pondering....where is my baby name book....
I like "Dolly" too. What great fortune to have one. I'm sure all your sewing will now fit perfectly. Lisa x
p.s. Big congrats on the school award. It never hurts to know your work is appreciated.
I think her name should be Delilia, that "sexy" dressmakers dummy. Or is she too sexy for that name? LOL!
