It's been a funny ole week, what with this and that...  I dare say my
MIL's health has something to do with me eating too much!  She isn't
eating at all at the moment, and trying to think of things to tempt her
has had my mind dwelling on food more than I usually let myself dwell.
Ah well...

Anyway...  I have been making a mad dress again - this time working on
my Elizabethan project.  I dialed up Dolly (my dress dummy) to my
measurements, all except the waist (well I dialed that up too, but one
of her screw mountings is bust, so it comes up a little small... ).  I
dressed her in the bodice for this gown, and it looked tiddly!  so tiny
that I had to get DH to hook me into it and take pix, just to prove I
really AM that small!  Yup - fits just fine - there's even room to take
a deep breath!  And this after cutting it a size 14 as that's what my
measurements said, and then DH pinning a good 3" out of it because it
was too big!

This is the funny thing about clothes...  You buy a size 10 T shirt, but
a size 14 pattern: both apparantly made for the same size person!

Then my swimsuit started falling to bits, so I bought a new one: UK size
12!  :)  Bit neat round the bum, but a better fit than the 34F I bought
six months ago!
