Making a Duct Tape Dummy

My boyfriend and I are working on ordering a couple full body fursuits. In order to get them one of the steps is to make a full body cast of yourself (aka: A DTD or Duct Tape Dummy) so that the fur suit maker knows your exact proportions.

This night we had a couple friends over to help us make them. Mine was done first but I wanted to tape my boyfriend getting his made. I am the one taping and our friends are sitting on the couch dispensing tape. Enjoy~

I just realized that I have a video yet no explanation on HOW to actually make a DTD.

It's simple really.

1. Buy or find some old used clothes, they have to be long pants and long sleeves. (Goodwill is a great place to do so if you don't already have old clothes.)

2. Buy duct tape. Make sure you get enough!!

3. Have a friend help tape you up, as seen in this video. xD

4. Draw lines in the DTD to cut along. (For help in line placement and other questions, go here: http://latinvixen.phpwebhosting.com//dtd.htm)

If you don't mind me asking how much was your furry suit all together? suit, duct tape and shipping really want one and need to know how much to save up.

@acekiller1994 Duct tape is pretty inexpensive, you can buy it at WalMart. Our fursuits were over $2,000 a piece but we went with a high end maker.

Thanks for the video! I'm paying for a fursuit (First customer of hers so I'm getting a discount) and I was wondering if I should get any clothes from GoodWill and let the duct tape rip it? I mean.. I don't do well with duct tape and I gotta get my friend's to help cause my parent's won't do jack for me.. Any advice on the duct tape removal?

@exammaster You're most welcome! That's actually what we did, raided Goodwill for long sleeve shirts and long pants. Pref get something this so it'll cut easily. I have a link in the desc to a site that will tell you more of what to do when it comes to cutting and whatnot.

@acekiller1994 I am 5'2 and 130 pounds and I used three roles of the higher quality duct tape on my self( As a fur suit maker we do not want the cheep duct tape smelling up our house.) I would get 5 - 7 rolls... it is always better to have more then less too.

I have made one of these with those chepo coveralls undreneath that you get for painting in from Rona, Home Depot or wherever..they only cost ten bucks...

@SmugglerX9 We had to make our DTDs to send to our fursuit maker. However if you are looking for fur furrhappens would be good but also distinctivefabricdotcom has some really nice high quality fur and it's very soft.
