lol well thank you! also, if it isn't too much trouble to ask...a friend and I are entering stuck at prom this year. any suggestions on how to bind duct tape together (sewing, stapling, more duct tape? XD )

Staples usually don't work out to well... sewing works but if you're using a machine you need to grease the needle with sewing machine oil every few stitches, taping seams together always works but as far as leaving an opening in the dress to get in and out of I would recommend lacing up the back using grommets and ribbon or very small rope.

I got lucky when a department store went out of business I was able to talk them into selling some of their mannequins I got this one for $40... but if you're looking to buy one new which is almost what you have to do since they're so hard to find you're going to be looking to pay well over double that. Also they usually run about size 4 unless you buy an adjustable one from a fabric store ^^

How do you get the folds to stay there? It looks like one big sheet.

Oh jeez it was a pain in the butt lol its weird the way I did it but I ended up having to sew some of the duct tape folds together so they would stay folded.
