It was great to turn on my laptop this evening, and see all of these posts on making dress forms. On Saturday I am getting together with my daughter to make a “clone” of her. She works at

hospital, and has gotten some of the bandages that are used for setting broken bones in a cast. We plan to wrap her, and then cut the “body cast”, and fill it with poly urethane foam. I found the pourable foam at a marine store. Have any of you made a dress form using this particular method? My daughter, and I think this experience will provide many laughs, but also a valuable tool for her to address her fitting challenges. At this point [she is 37] she has a lovely slim figure, so hopefully she won’t dislike seeing “herself” in the corner!
If any of you have tried this method, I would love to hear any tips that you can share. Thanks!
