I usually begin Halloween costume preparations in mid- to late-August, so getting started after the first week of October feels woefully late to me, but I think I’ll still have plenty of time to put together a pretty fun costume for this year’s festivities.
This is a DIY dress form from Bootstrap Patterns that I customized to fit my measurements! It's not 100% perfect, but close enough that I can use it for projects like this where it would be difficult to design a pattern directly onto my body.
I haven't seen many either, which I think is a little surprising? It was not a very difficult project (the hardest part was stuffing it), and relatively inexpensive especially compared to the price of purchasing a dress form!
Non-halloween question! What dress form are you using that matches your measurements well enough to drape on?!?!

That's amazing. I looked at that before but hadn't seen many in the wild! That's awesome that its working well enough for you.
