Why did you begin filming in the middle of the project? How and where do you begin the taping? Some show beginning at the top and others at the bottom. How do you get a good bustline, shoulders and arms? This is great looking but missing too many details.
oh, thank you very much, meanwhile i've already made my dress form. finally i used polyurethane spray and it worked pretty well. sadly here where i live pollyfill is not available, so i had to come up with some alternatives. : D
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting a dress form but didn't want to spend the money and not have the shape that matches my body. What kind of stad do you have it on?
It's very creative and clean. Poly-fil is a great material to stuff it rather than using paper. You're a very artistic couple and kudos to your supportive husband.
Thanks so much for this. Not only did you just save me $200+, your tip for marking the waistline, etc is gold; and, as a bonus, it made me smile with joy to see your husband helping you out like that!
Hi, I have a question... What did you use for the stand? I see you have is rotating on something- that's where I'mhaving a hard time finding something for myself?
Hi. Great visual on dress/body form. There are gaps to what and how to do it. I know that you use an old/no longer wearing underneath and then start taping. I see placing lines where waste and chest is. Cut the back to remove from you. Now...did you then tape the back and other openings: neck, arms, leg areas? I would like to see materials used to create the stand for your dress form dummy. Could you create a video on that? It would be very useful. How much would that activity cost too?
Just what I need! How do you fit it on a stand? What about buying a cheap dress form with a stand that is close to the right size and putting the duct tape on on it?
I Guess the hollows would have to be filled in with polyfil or other?
I really need to get one of these that is accurate as I have sloping shoulders and on hip a little higher than the other.
Nice work! So do you simply duct tape over the arm, neck and bottom holes? How do you mount the form on a stand? do you need to reinforce it somehow when you impale the form on a stem?
I love the concept... I just want to know how you got all that duct tape to sit so nicely on your body! Yours looks so great, I just wish there was a tiny bit more instruction before you cut it off. Did you just wrap it around across ways? Doesn't it bunch up/fold unattractively at your curves?
TO MAKE A STAND for the form: here's how I did it: I put a wire hanger up into the shoulders as they were stuffed, then continued stuffing around a cardboard decor fabric roll tube with a slit cut in the top end for the wired form to hang off, and finally cut a hole in some scrap wood for a base so it would stand up. Very cheap and easy to adjust height by cutting the tube.
questionn !! how can i put this on a stand if you did ? your dress form looks like its on a stand , is it? and how can i put it on one ?thnkyou very much this video is so helpfull!! how many rolls of ducktape btw ? i have your body just a little bit thicker,, thankyouu!
his is so freakin cool!!! I love it...I think I may have to do one now!! ok, so I know I have to pee before, and do at least 3 layers of it....I can't though see how to do the sand and the rod goes all the way through the dress form??..or half wyas...hmm...not sure..but I guess I could figure it out, I can be creative if I have to be!! Thanks girl and hi5!!! Awesome....going to my fav's!! xoxo Jules:)
Thank you for sharing this. My 6 year old daughter goes through dresses faster than you can shake a stick so I made a manequin of her. I used our Christmas tree stand for the base and a heavy wood dowel rod (hardware store, good for hanging curtains too!) and made to height as well as size. On top of that she loves to dress it up too! How cute is that!
Thank you for this informatve video. I did most of the taping myself, but it came out pretty good..now I have to find something to stand it on, the cardboard tube(from a bolt of material) worked pretty good until people stared knocking it over, but she is on a bunch of Avon boxes, time to get a stand...be blessed
That was just amazing. I was just getting ready to buy one for at least $99 and now I am going to make my own. Glass of wine, Friday night, roll of duct tape, sounds like a party!
Great vid but your natural waist line is the smallest circumference of your torso, watch your vid and you'll see when you bend that your body creases up higher as well as where you marked it. Your natural waist line is not where you wear your pants. thanks for sharing
thank you so much-what a great idea! please show how you work on it? Do you put it on a table? What did you put on your body first? I saw black and white fabric
Thank you so much! My sweet ten year old daughter is wanting to design her own fashions, and the cheapest childs form I could find online was over $500!! She will be thrilled with this idea!! Do you have an idea how to put it on a stand?
Try a broom stick, you can get a broom from the dollar store. Then to keep it up try one of those Christmas tree stands. That should work great to keep it standing ^^
You guys are so freakin' cute! What a wonderful husband you have and he's a really neat duct-taper too! Great job!!!! I'll be giving this a go this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration.
@shemsdance : a friend of mine actually made one of these herself, and for a stand, she used an old lamp stand. remove the lamp and the bulp at the top and stick your dress form over the center rod instead.
I made a sculpture once of my body that way!!! we are like mined indeed! i painted it- your giving me flashbacks, unlike you, I did not have any help and had to tape myself and then cut myself out- haha,
You are fabulous girl! Ur husband too...Ive been searching on craigslist for kids dressforms for my childrens clothing line. i love your idea. my husband and i did something similar when i was pregnant so i get ur idea. hey it might be fun taping our 4 kids up. thanks for the great idea.... MJ
i heard that duct tape stretches because it is so sticky..and sometimes the dress form will stretch out a few inches so I think it's best to paper mache it to finish it off, or use clear packing tape which doesn't stretch. great video!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can get coolio colored duct tape, or when you are done, cover it in plaster and then paint it, OR you could cover it in fabric when you are done:]
WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!!!! You are awesome, that is a remarkably cheap and fantastic idea. A cheap dress form in my area costs about $200.00 and up, and yours is more acurate and 1/10 the cost. Thank you for this idea so much!!
im gay so i dont know if my opinion matters, but you have a really cute body :) PS: this works GREAT for guys! I made myself a jacket on my dressform before realizing... "wait... i dont have boobs...crap!" haha :) THANKS! THIS IS GREAT!
Oh sweet Jacob, Mary and Joseph. My baby was getting ready to spend $250 on a form until I saw this video. We are already on it. This will be tomorrow's task as summer is on the way. I have had the hardest time getting my designs to fit me because I have a 34.5 waist with a 42.3 hip. No matter where I went to look for a dressform, I was frightened about the possibility of an ill-fit. No more worries thanks to you and your hubby. A girl with a serious apple-bottom thanks you both. . .
WO-O-O-O-nderful!! Hey, what did you use under the tape that was black and white stripped? ( saw it inside the dress form after you took it off. Super idea.
It's 530am and I'm sitting at work wasting time. (in Seattle WA) I've heard of people making dress forms out of duct tape so I came here. Imagine my surprise to see that your husband is Terri Goodwin!! I'm cracking up! I don't know Terri but I know his brother Brian! My friends and I used to go watch the Goodwin boys play basketball in that park off of 78th street when we were in high school! Oh yea and I'm totally going to try making the dress form now!
You and your husband are my new best friends. I heading to the store to get some duct tape, so when my husband get home he can wrap me up in it. Won't he be surprised, lol. No, really this is so great. And thanks to all of you who have tried it and posted comments.
Hi Mimi & Hubby, I just finished my duct tape dress form and it looks great. Thanks so much. I was wondering...what did you use as a base? I notice yours was able to swivel a total 360 degrees just like a store bought one.
cont... I watched both of your duct tape dress form videos and taping is so important if you want to have the most true to form replica of yourself. Your hubby is amazing. I think this is the best taping I've seen as of yet. Please tell him on behalf of all the money conscience people out there.... THANK YOU!
Mimi, this is truly amazing! Dressforms are so costly nowadays. And if you're a woman of color, they tend not to fit your body proportions accurately. so, why pay all that money and still be disappointed?
1:36 - 1:45 is hilarious!!

A girl with a serious apple-bottom thanks you both. . .

WO-O-O-O-nderful!! Hey, what did you use under the tape that was black and white stripped? ( saw it inside the dress form after you took it off. Super idea.

It's 530am and I'm sitting at work wasting time. (in Seattle WA) I've heard of people making dress forms out of duct tape so I came here. Imagine my surprise to see that your husband is Terri Goodwin!! I'm cracking up! I don't know Terri but I know his brother Brian! My friends and I used to go watch the Goodwin boys play basketball in that park off of 78th street when we were in high school! Oh yea and I'm totally going to try making the dress form now!

You and your husband are my new best friends. I heading to the store to get some duct tape, so when my husband get home he can wrap me up in it. Won't he be surprised, lol. No, really this is so great. And thanks to all of you who have tried it and posted comments.

Hi Mimi & Hubby, I just finished my duct tape dress form and it looks great. Thanks so much. I was wondering...what did you use as a base? I notice yours was able to swivel a total 360 degrees just like a store bought one.

What a great idea! And yes, commercial dress forms= huge waste of money. You and your husband are my new do-it-yourself heros!

cont... I watched both of your duct tape dress form videos and taping is so important if you want to have the most true to form replica of yourself. Your hubby is amazing. I think this is the best taping I've seen as of yet. Please tell him on behalf of all the money conscience people out there.... THANK YOU!

Mimi, this is truly amazing! Dressforms are so costly nowadays. And if you're a woman of color, they tend not to fit your body proportions accurately. so, why pay all that money and still be disappointed?

omg.. i WISH i had these videos before i spent $199 PLUS CANADIAN TAX on it =(
i can't even return it. it aint my size no matter what, and i love this idea better. o well, can't hurt to get two forms. hehe.. thanks guys
