This how to is from The Esty Labs Archive gives a very detailed description with pictures to make a dress form out of a t-shirt and duct tape with the help of a friend. You can also jazz it up a bit by using colored or patterned duct tape.

This paper tape dress form from Instructables is great idea with the use of paper tape, t-shirt, spray sealant foam and a friend. The instructions and pictures are extremely detailed.

This dress form from Jezebel is probably the closest to buying the real thing, but it is also a lot more involved. It uses plaster bandages, sealant foam, IV cart to create your own stand for it to go on and sewing and creating a cover to cover the form.

I love the creativity used to make this form. It seems to be so simple. Syzygyo of Worlds created one from chicken wire and some duct tape!

 

 

 

Also, if you have your own dress form already but it isn’t to you exact measurements, look at FabulousFit, they sell “fitting systems” which are pads you can buy to help make adjustments to any part of your dress form!


Meet Manne! My Dog Mannequin

dog mannequinRusty hasn’t been too corporative with me as I try to create clothes and costumes for him so I bought Manne, my dog mannequin. He’ll sit still while I drape and measure. Manne is actually a little smaller than Rusty but, I think he’ll work out just fine. I know it might be a little weird but it’s a dog dress form and it will help. Besides, Manne is a much better option than trying to create a dog dress form out of duck tape, I don’t think Rusty would appreciate that.

I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Years!
