So mini me is now stuffed. I call it mini me since it’s just half of me. It’s a bit crooked at the moment and I need to figure out how to straighten things out. If you look carefully, you can see some black lines near the bottom of the form. The tiny ones are for the length from there on me to the floor (38"). The longer mark on the right side of the dummy is my natural waistline.I ended up not using expanding foam but the poly stuffing you use in things like toy stuffed animals. Not that I can make those with any success. I’ve tried a couple of times and they looked like mutants.
Anyway—my fabric orders should be here in the next week so I’ll have a chance to do some crash testing with my dummy. If it doesn’t work, well then I guess I’ll track down a dress form that isn’t ridiculously expensive and give that a try.
