Great job on your duct tape dress form! Good helpful pictures too. I want to make one for myself soon. Hopefully I can convince my DS or DH to help me with this project. (looks like it's a 2 - 3 person project?)

Thanks for the positive comment - 2 people, one model, one taping - I think 3 would just get confusing. Have fun, looking forward to yours!
