Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My attempt at a duct tape dress form. Unfortunantly I relaxed a little too much while I was getting taped so the form is a little slouchy- not to mention it looks pregnant! The last picture shown is what we ended up using it for since it wasnt relly accurate.
Material Notes
Lots and lots of duct tape and one old t-shirt

I filled it with poly-fil stuffing- about 6 bags worth. I have since made another one of my daughter that I filled with scraps of fabric instead. It makes the form just as stiff and gets all of those little pieces I’ll never use out of the way.
