Making a Custom Dress Form

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0kYTRNwiDg

Today you get to see a month's worth of work in 20 minutes. I have always wanted a dress form made to my measurements however I don't have a $1000 to drop on one made for me by someone else but I was also a little dissatisfied by the lack of important measurements taken when purchasing the Bootstrap pattern. So I took it upon myself to make a professional-grade dress form for myself. You will see the whole process, casting my torso, pouring the foam, de-moulding and rubberising the outside, and finally making the batting and outer cover. • If you give it a try please tag me in photos of your final product on Instagram! I would love to see it! • Morgan Donner's Dress Form Video: • DIY Dress Form // Copying My Corseted... • 0:00-1:11 Intro • 1:11-2:46 Fact-finding and research • 2:46- 6:33 Making the plaster cast • 6:33-7:13 Pouring the foam • 7:13-8:05 De-moulding the form • 8:05-10:06 Fixing my mistake • 10:07-11:20 Measurement check • 11:20-11:54 Rubbering the form • 11:54-13:18 Building the base • 13:18-13:57 Rectifying posture • 13:57-16:58 Covering the form • 16:58-20:32 Final Reveal • ★ Links to Products Used ★ • Plaster Bandages: https://amzn.eu/d/8Q21vx0 • Flotation Foam: https://amzn.eu/d/3wyA8Gg • Rubber Coating: https://amzn.eu/d/6HMxZ6r (While this is the brand of silicone I used, you can probably find a much cheaper alternative option.
