I took a man's tank top ribbed undershirt and let it soak in white craft glue (Elmer's) meanwhile I took plastic wrap and (with bra on) wrapped myself in plastic wrap. Then put on the shirt and went outside until it dried from the wind and sun. Cut up the middle of the shirt when dry and stitched it back together with dental floss. Then I mounted on an old mannekin shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058305206730162364.post-17622294239257476562015-04-19T11:34:39.380-05:002015-04-19T11:34:39.380-05:00Hi There and Thanks so much for creating this very...Hi There and Thanks so much for creating this very helpful site!<br /><br />1) What are the pros and cons of having or not having legs? . How much better is it to have legs on the mannequin? <br /><br />2) I like the idea of an IV pole. If I do make legs is there a way that I can insert a pole up one leg or would this throw it off balance? I’d also like to have the pole be able to be adjustable so perhaps I need to make something myself that can adjust from the lower end (as Jezebel/Jenna's tutorial discovered that the adjustment knob got buried in the foam)..? I like the idea of wheels and to be able to turn it might be good..? Thoughts?<br /><br />3) What do you think of the comment below? (from Jenna's tutorial Link): <br /><br />Also, at the foam-filling stage, cut a chunk of soft foam and use expanding foam only between your shell and the soft foam core - then the pressure of the expanding foam will squeeze the core instead of deforming your shell. Sorry, I’m an engineer who used to sew a lot..."<br /><br />4) You covered yours in what looks like a thin-ish material and Jenna's looks thicker...Pros cons. of each? <br /><br />Love the look of your "doll". <br /><br />Many Thanks!!!

Could this be done with an old bra on also? I have 14 of the same bra so i know that they (breasts) will be in the same place.

I saw some plaster shears online but they're 30 bucks... and that seems like a large expense for something I'd only use once or twice. :/ I'm afraid bandage shears wouldn't be strong enough for the plaster?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443579626015248048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058305206730162364.post-75406596787360689052013-06-28T16:59:19.980-05:002013-06-28T16:59:19.980-05:00Can't wait to see the next step!Can't wait to see the next step!CBoyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790067005466257091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058305206730162364.post-33666537634933992722013-06-18T08:12:33.896-05:002013-06-18T08:12:33.896-05:00I just realized how overdue I am for the next inst...I just realized how overdue I am for the next installment of this tutorial!!

I've been fantasizing about doing this for almost 20 years - Threads magazine had an article on it way back when, but so few other people do it this way, and not many do it well.
