Has anyone ever made one of those duct tape dress forms of yourself, and then used it to make your own clothes/patterns?

 

Share, if so.........Man Happy

Believe it or not I made one for sizing sweaters while knitting, not a DIY

and it did look my torso.

Just google it.

It's just an easy, inexpensive way to make your own exact dress form.....

I haven't done it ~ yet ~ but I'm thinking about it!

I was just wondering if someone else had done it and how satisfied they were with the finished garment.
