No arms, no head, and
only a hint of legs. I call her Helena.

| She even came in a box |
Helena is going to be a
big help with my dressmaking escapades, because she's roughly the
same size as me. She has better posture and less in the way of
unsightly bulges, but she should be good for preliminary fittings.
It's incredibly difficult to accurately fit something on your own
body, because every time you move your arm to pin a seam the whole
garment shifts. If I fit it to Helena first I should only need to
make minor adjustments to accommodate my own quirks. That's the
theory, at least. I'll let you know how it works out.
She'll also be handy as
a place to store projects without them getting creased. Her manual
suggests I should also be using her to try out different accessories
and colour combinations, but that's getting a bit too enthusiastic
about the concept of wearing clothes for my liking. I find it much
easier to only buy clothes in a couple of colours to begin with.
That way, everything matches even when I get dressed in the dark.
