I did make my dressform, with a little help. OK, OK, my boyfriend technically made it. I took some photos when I made last year's duct tape dressform: http://looptangle.com/2008/11/time-travel-duct-tape-doubles/ This year, we followed these directions: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3630/duct-tape-dress-form-1 The triple layers of horizontal and vertical helps keep the shape better, but I still had trouble getting it to stay closed once stuffed. I've applied a LOT of extra tape, going all the way around, to make sure it stays closed. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try to help! Thanks, Stacy!
