This unmounted dummy is good for fitting shirts and is easier to store than a mounted dummy.
Tape up the back of the dummy where it was cut. If you used the zigzag method, it will be easy to piece the dummy back together. Stuff the dummy with your stuffing material, whatever that may be. You can also use shoulder pads to help define and firm up the breasts.
Tape up the ends of the arms and the neck. Be careful not to collapse the ends while you tape.
Trace around the bottom of the dummy on your piece of cardboard. Cut out the cardboard piece and fit it into the bottom of the dummy. Tape in place. Re-measure your model to ensure that your dummy is not being warped by the stuffing or cardboard.
Now your dummy should be finished. Use leftover duct tape to make a duct tape wallet, or take a look at the instructions for making a mounted dummy for a dress form. Contribute your tips or frustrations.
