My sister’s torso
“Duct Tape Jenny” arrived today, so now I can get down to business designing the pattern for my sister’s wedding dress. It will be very interesting to drape on this dress form. My plan is to make the dress in black and white gingham so that the seamstress, Phyllis, can unbaste the muslin and sew the fashion fabric from my original. I hope I don’t make it too difficult do.
Having a half a body shaped just like my sister (who is apparently slightly lopsided), sitting on the counter behind me is slightly disconcerting. I’m glad Jenn didn’t send along a life mask with the dummy.

I can still wear it. So for those of you out there thinking about making your duct tape torso, be mindful of the bra on that last cut up the back.
