I did this for myself for an elaborate costume. I set it up on a stand that would be my height when wearing the shoes for the costume. It was great - I had a custom form in about an hour, and my girls thought it was hysterical to put tape all over me. I didn't get that hot, but it was pretty snug - a panic attack would be bad. It was cheap, easy, and, if I change shape, I can just whip out another one! I would not have been able to make the costume without it.
