floppy heads

Hello Babe-Knitters -

I posted a babe way back in July and now I have taken on the crazy project of knitting babe-maids for my wedding (in August). I am making seven "babes" and two "animal-babes" (tbd). I have two questions.

1. The complete babe that I have has a weak neck, so bad that she basically folds in half if she isn't proped agains something. I was given the suggestion of using a wooden spoon/plastic spoon for support. I was wondering if anyone has done this or if there are any other suggestions.

2. As it is now May and I have only five bodies completed I wondered if anyone had a suggestion for quick, cute dresses that care simple to make.

Thanks!
