Oooh, exciting! I did think the duct tape one might be better for me - unless you conform really closely to the sizes on a dummy I'm not sure how helpful they are  Confused

Gosh you are lucky Janice. I'm not sure I trust my husband and duct tape if diy is anything to go with. I would be left taped up for weeks before he got round to finishing it.

thanks for the link, think i may have to have a go at making one too, i am very pear shaped so would be quite difficult to get my exact shape from a standard dummy. i am starting a dressmaking class next month so would come in very handy indeed.
