   Howdy!

   I think you're looking for gummed kraft paper tape. In general, other than for paper-tape dress forms, that tape is used for packing boxes and taping up the backs of picture frames. If you can't find it in your local office-supply shops, you might try art-supply shops (such as Dick Blick or maybe even Michaels) or packing-supply shops (such as Mailboxes Etc. or even UPS). If you don't mind shopping online, there are a number of places that sell kraft paper tape (such as Dick Blick online, http://www.dickblick.com). You can just do a search for "kraft paper tape," and then find a place that you feel comfortable with.

   Good luck with the dress form! If you need any pointers for that, check out the "Clone Yourself A Fitting Assistant" http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/t00002.asp

   Cheers!

   Could you use the parer tape for dry wall patching? My husband uses it for patching sheetrock. I comes in paper as well as a metal/paper combo. He gets it at any hardware store or Home Depot. Best wishes!
