I met her at Dickens when she asked me about the lace on my dress. Later,
she was in our Renaissance guild. And I remember her dolls, at the Costume
Con when it was in San Jose. She will be greatly missed.

I especially appreciate your thought, Liadain. Thank you! Kayta was a
close personal friend for years. . . we had many fabric store runs
together, many fittings, and many thrift stores. Boy did I learn a
lot! Kayta was a fearless pattern-maker. She'd slap some paper on her
dress form and b

I just spent this last Casa de Fruta renaissance faire chatting with Kayta
about German costuming for the 16th century and my upcoming firsts attemp at
proper garb for the Dickens Festival.
She was and is an inspiration, and will be deeply missed.

Mine is only a few years old so I don't know how well it will spring back after
many years compressed.
On my form, I took a marker and marked lines at different areas around the
breast, then took a large serrated knife to cut off the breasts so I could use

Hi Annette,
I have a Uniquely You form and it dates (new) from 1976. (OY!) I am the
original owner and my shape has changed a LOT since then.
The foam dried out and is a bit less flexible, but it is still in good
shape. Mine also discolored on the neck and armholes.
