Duct Tape Dress Form
I saw this tutorial online a while ago and thought it would be fun to try - and hopefully useful if I ever find the time to start learning to make clothes again.
I used this old coat stand from my mom's basement and sprayed it black.
Nick spent about an hour taping me up. You wear an old t-shirt that you can cut up the back. We started with regular gray duct tape, then went over it again with colored tape because I think it looks better than the gray. If I were to do it over again, I'd just do one layer because an hour is a long time and the second layer really wasn't necessary.
Then he cut it off, we taped it back together, and I put the dress form on the stand - measuring so it would be my correct height - and filled it with poly-fil.
Voila!

That's awesome! Great idea!
That's really very cool! Even if you never use it for making clothes, it's a cute way to display whatever you're going to wear the next day.
I love it. You come up with the most creative projects. I love your nes dress also.
wow, that's awesome!
What a neat idea! I have one of those stands...I might have to try that when I get adventurous.
um all I have to say is WOW. What about making a duct tape dress?
Emily, you are amazing! I dare say Nick had a great time helping you?? :)
Very impressive Em, you are very very creative! Love it. And the dress!
That's the coolest thing ever! I don't even sew, but I would totally make one of those just as a decoration. Cute!
