I just found this great idea for a dress form on the Mary Jane Farm Recipes-Patterns link page.
You use an old t-shirt and duct tape to create a dress dummy of yourself (with help from a friend–OR this could be a great project for a wife and husband–ha).
I thought I would post this here for those folks who might like to make one for themselves.
Yeah, I have a Threads magazine that’s years (maybe a decade or more) old, showing how to make one. It’s great for sewing/designing, especially since you really do get it to fit exactly to the person’s curves… or non-curves!
