Bettie, meet Veronica



Though they may be hanging out together here as if they are best friends, Veronica's arrival is a surefire sign that Bettie (on the left) is old news... poor girl, she was once my favorite- she was a cheap date, (ie free)and seemed practical to have around.

So yes, this is one of the other things Ive been doing instead of sewing. Frustrated with my fitting issues...I finally gave up and took a class to make a dress form. And did I ever- So anatomically accurate, that i think Ronnie needs to wear clothes when she's hanging around the house to keep from being indecent.

I should note that Veronica appears to have a narrower waist than me from the front, but she makes up for it by having a truly hideous profile from the side-which I will not share with you here. just pictuere that all that waist circumference of mine had to go somewhere... But oh the difference when compared to poor old Bettie, now listing over to the side in despair... to think, these two have the same measurements!

  1. I tried one back in 08 and the bust was the tricky part. You are right about the verisimilitude. Eye opening, especially my behind!!!

    I need to try again. Thanks for the inspiration.
