Well, the scales may have been mean last week, but the tape measure loves me! Hips down another inch! Yippee! Now measure 40/34/44. I'm aiming to get them all in the next bracket down: bust and hips in the top 30's, waist in the 20's, but NOT as low as my lowest ever as an adult! (That was scary: bust 33, waist 20, hips 35! With a Victorian corset, I'd have made a 16" waist, and fainted with the best of them! And hip bones you could hang coats from!) --
OOh, I hanker for those corset wearing days. And proper clothes. All those beautifully made and structured garments. And manners. And Mr Darcy........*grin*

That is great Kate!! I find that the measurements go down when the scale isn't moving.

Gotta love that tape measure. It can sure make up for the cruelty of the scale. You're this week's Incredible Shrinking Woman!

Mr Darcy is nothing to Captain Sparrow - who was very sensible, and ripped the corset OFF the girl! --
