This one doesn’t get a picture.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, after reading things like this<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and this<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and trying to figure out an easy way to alter some button down shirts so that they actually fit… I decided that I needed a dress form.\u00c2\u00a0 And rather than spend a couple hundred bucks on one that probably wouldn’t be an exact fit anyway, I decided to go the “do-it-yourself” route.\u00c2\u00a0 I figured, for the price of a few rolls of duct tape, how can you go wrong?<\/p>\n Being that I’m human, and my arms will only reach so far, I had to recruit a willing helper.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, the idea of duct taping me was just way too enticing, so Tina was a more than willing volunteer.\u00c2\u00a0 Five hours later, and after realizing the project didn’t involve anything fun like duct-taping my mouth shut, or taping me to a chair, she wasn’t so excited.<\/p>\n However, in the end, I got my very own body double!!\u00c2\u00a0 She’s come in VERY handy for fitting shirts and things – well worth the price of a few rolls of silver tape and a few hours of standing very still.\u00c2\u00a0 She is a rather big girl though (hence, no pictures!) – my goodness – nothing like seeing your form all shiny & silver sitting on a table to make you want to do a few situps…\u00c2\u00a0 OK, it is me we’re talking about.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t really have any intention of doing those situps…<\/p>\n Tina also named her.\u00c2\u00a0 Daisy.\u00c2\u00a0 Daisy Duct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This one doesn’t get a picture.
