1960s dress form

Yesterday (Saturday) I got something I have been looking for for ages – a dress form. And a 1960s one, still in its original box, no less. I am rather pleased with this; I don't come across them very often, and when I do they are never my size. But this was meant to be. It has my measurements exactly. And the timing is perfect. I have some sewing projects I want to crack on with, and, having got some expert advice, I can now do them with a little help from – it? – she! – well, my dress form needs a name. Enid? Ethel? Maud? When I know, I'll tell you :)



Actually today I am wearing a dress that needs a bit of altering, though truth be told I won't need hmm-hmm's (insert name here) help for this. It has two extra straps on the front and, having worn the dress for the day, I am now sure I won't keep them on here. Snip snip...
