RE: things to do in London for 12-year-old boys - the London Dungeon
(www.thedungeons.com) used to be much appreciated in my family, although I
remember some of our friends finding it too scary. I haven't been there for
at least 20 years, but it was gruesome in a way that boys in the 70s used to
enjoy...
Re: white chocolate: "Which is what the previously mentioned house guest
brings me from London, much to his disgust, as he thinks all white chocolate
is an abomination ;-) "
IT IS an abomination!! I think white chocolate is pure evil disguised as
confectionery!!
See some of my doll costumes - mostly Victorian and Elizabethan - here:

I mostly make Victorian and Elizabethan clothing - not only dolls - but
currently I'm about to make a Rococo gown for Tyler,
with stays and panier, of course :-)
Naergi, these are lovely. That Mina outfit with the embroidered leaves has
always been a favourite of mine and yours is such a sweet reproduction!
Re: Fabulous Fit dress forms - I have one of the ones that you pad to your
own size/shape, but looking at the website it seems as though they've
branched out into more fixed-size forms since I bought it. It's not great,
and I've never been able to get it to stand up straight, which frustrates
the heck out of me. I find the padding system unsatisfactory, too, because
you're never going to get it perfect. As soon as I can afford it, I'll be
buying something else, even if it does have fixed measurements.
