This is the happy happy post that announces that my dress form has arrived! So finally I might start talking about something else! It travelled for 1 month and 9 days, but I feel it got home right on time! ...And that was the last time I was calling the dress form "it" coz we have a name: Simona !  It's made by Yamata Feiyue, here's a link (see last one on that page)... my almost twin sister:)  So far so good so stick around for the review if you're tempted to get one yourself!

He's made of robust metal, stands on his own table, has a motor but works as a treadle machine as well, so when there's no power - and that kinda happens here- I still can't find fault with him! I brought him home while waiting for a Singer serger. Although shy at first, he did his job quite well... given the given and as the waiting turned longer than expected- we kinda grew fond of each other and I didn't have the heart to send him back. It's true, I would have liked him to come with some instructions but what can you say when a nice salesman says he will send someone if I need to rethread it! I did get a manual a little later and I am glad I did - it al...
