Never mind.
I had seen a piece on how to make your own dress form on Knitty Gritty a year or so ago, but I recently bought Wendy Bernard's book Custom Knits which describes in detail how to do it again -- and, well, I just had to try it out.
So my friend Chris (the owner of Boatneck Bluebell version 1.0 felted) came over. With wine and duct tape in hand, we went to work. (The process is like this.)
When we were done, we had our mini-me's (although both of us imagined ourselves about 15 years thinner.)
Let me know if you decide to try it. It was definitely entertaining...the kids particularly enjoyed running around in them. It gave us some great ideas for potential Halloween costumes.

I hope you took more pictures of the "process." I want to see those! Christy
