Meet Polly (my daughter named her).
She's about 5' tall, has no hair, and fairly unrealistic proportions (if you ask Rubenesque me).
Her hobbies include standing around on 3 feet, hiding in small spaces, and modeling cashmere.
Her favorite movies include Nightmare on Elm Street and Disney's TheLegend of Sleepy Hollow.
She's made out of reclaimed foam core (it was a poster that was thrown in the trash after a hospital auction). Her legs/feet are a floor stand metal candle holder that I removed the "holder" from (bought it at Goodwill for $1.99). The best part is that she's totally portable. I took her out onto the front porch for a mini photo session. She needs a few adjustments still, like blackening some of the foam that's sticking out. But other than that I think she's going to work out really well. I think I will also create a clawfoot tub out of foam core - just because I really liked my real tub as a prop.
FYI: I am working on a tutorial w/ a downloadable "pattern" to create a dress form of your own.
