This is my dress form so far! I couldn’t finish it since I need a bit more Great Stuff to fill it, but I have the upper body pretty much done. I will also probably get more duct tape to tape off the bottom.

DIY Dress Form

I had a lot of fun making the DIY dress form. I stuffed it using paper and plastic bags, I unfortunately ran out of good stuff, so I need to go get more to complete the bottom of my dress form.

Had trouble on the base and not having enough to fill after using two cans. Works pretty well.

This was fun to make, but took longer than expected! It felt very much like building a sculpture which I enjoyed, but I had some difficulty trying to fill all the spaces inside the body. The body looks fairly accurate so it’s definitely a bit uncanny to look at- not sure why the breasts look a bit overly defined to me though.

Below are images of the dress form. I had a lot of fun making this. I used around 2 rolls of paper towels to fill this up before adding the can of great stuff. I also finished my roll of duct tape. My shoulder area seems a little weird but everything else seems fine.

The dress form took me longer than I expected. I think I used too much duck tape in order to ensure that the shell is stiff to hold the shape. Other than that, I’m happy with the overall results. I did run out of an entire can of great stuff which only fills less than half of the shell. I will need to get more soon. The neck and arms are sealed and the bottom base is going to be cardboard after I finish filling the shell with more foam.

I finished it up with more spray foam and cardboard base. It can stand on a surface.

Below is the dress form. I had a lot of trouble with it – it seemed like a black hole that I couldn’t fill, but we reached a point where I’m happy with it. The chest seems a bit off because I was wearing a binder while this was done, and the base is cardboard so its level.
