I'm making a BIG Doll! I have an opportunity to make a figure for Spring season. This is the old Dressmakers dummy and I am giving it 'bones' and fleshing it out.
Lots of padding............
Now a Toile..........
A fitting..........
Back view......
She's a buxom lass - 44 - 30 - 44! She's got a bra on under there to give her a more definitive shape. Not bad eh? Can you see the face waiting in the background? I didn't use it in the end. This will be a Victorian woman, possibly Steam Punk. It's for The Oamaru Textile Exchange - an entrance eyecatcher! Hope it all works!

Wow, what an eye-catcher !!
That's quite a job! Can't wait to see her when you are done. But how do you get her on the right spot?? That must be an awful lot of work!
Good luck!
I have a large mirror in my studio that helps me gauge the correct dimensions. As it is, this one will be larger than life- my head comes up to her shoulder! Mind you I am only five feet tall, and she will be taller yet because there will be castors on the base to move it around.
Sounds like lots of work but fun stuff. I can just see the face:) Steampunk would be so much fun.
