ABSOLUTELY! Don't you LOVE it !?!?
My Dummy has an Edwardian blouse and a bustle skirt. The skirt fits, I
am trying to lose enough weight to wear the blouse. Progress is slow.

My metaphorical "dummy" (the clothes hanger than I use for this
purpose) is
still wearing the stand-collared linen shift that I mentioned the
last time
this meme came up on the list. ON the other hand, it's done except
for the
seam finishing, and I'm making sufficiently good progress on that
that I
expect the thing to be finished before the end of the year, and then
I can
start the wool tunic I'm aiming to do next. :-)
Mine has an 18th century dress for a dance company, embroidered
polysilk, ruffles, falaballas and all. The embroidery hoop has the
quilted lining for my DIL's work basket, only about 18months late. The
bag by my TV chair has a cardigan in the knit, and the bag under the
table has a crocheted butcher boy cap that I pulled out and need to
start again.
And this is called retirement?
