Okay, before you think I cheated, I DID take these yesterday. I thought I posted them yesterday as well, but when I looked today, for some reason this post was in the "Draft" folder. Erg.
Anyway, this is a sewing dummy that I made. It's modeled after my exact body dimensions. They are really easy to make, although it takes some time. I just put on a tight fitting t-shirt (over a bra, that's important), and covered myself with duct tape. I then cut the duct taped wrapped t-shirt off of me, sealed up the cut, lined the bottom with cardboard and stuffed it with polyfill. Oh, also, I put a hanger in the top so I can hang it up.
This is it from a side view. I named her Headless Betty. I took Betty's measurements right after I made her, and they matched my own perfectly. I took my new measurements today, and Betty is now a little bigger than I am around the hips. That seems to be the only place I'm losing yet. I guess, eventually, I'll have to make a new Betty, since this one will be too big. Maybe I'll keep her around to remind me of what my body used to look like!
