This is an actual dress form, custom made with duct tape to fit a friend of mine. We had a lot of fun making it! She found instructions online somewhere and enlisted me to help her out, since for obvious reasons it would be hard to make yourself one without help….
Duct Tape Dress Form
It involved an old T-shirt that she didn’t mind destroying, and LOTS of duct tape. I think it took us about an hour, and then she had to stuff it later on.

I saw a tutorial for this on Etsy somewhere - maybe through Etsy labs or the storque. Now that is something you do not see every day!

Yeah, I’d never seen one, and I wasn’t sure how well it would work, but it turned out great.

My mom did this for my sisters wedding dress. It was hilarious to watch her get all taped up!
