Confessions of a duct-tape dummy
Article Abstract:
The size-10 dress form no longer represented the dressmaker's body pattern, so duct tape was used in an attempt to create a cloned dress form based on her current body size. After several hours, layers of duct tape were wrapped around the dressmaker's body. Cutting the form off of the dressmaker was hazardous, but it fit directly over the size-10 form.
