So since I have been making a lot of balaclavas and masks lately, I have been in need of a bust. Unfortunately they run pretty high in cost...so, I made myself one . How did I do it you ask? First I wore a pantyhose stocking over my head, duck-taped it, and then cut the head off. Not my head mind you >.o. Following not too long after I had my little sister assist me with the upper chest part (shoulders and neck). It was done by wearing a cheap Under Armor short-sleeve shirt and a piece of fabric worn around my neck. After doing many layers of duck-tape, it too was cut away. Both were then reinforced with more layers of duck-tape, joined together and then stuffed with faux cotton and unwanted fabric. The remaining openings were sealed with more tape, and the back of the neck was reinforced with pieces of plastic hanger rods.

So whallah...instant and cheap duck-tape dummy bust. Anyone can do it! But a word of caution...such a project is not for the faint hearted. At one point your entire head is covered in tape....you can't speak and you can hardly breath...even with nose openings. I am used to this being that I have worn costumes/ masks/ heads that have made breathing hard, and yet I managed to deal with it. DO NOT DO THIS PROJECT BY YOURSELF!!!

Ehem....

Enjoy the pics <^.^>

PS- The helmet featured is for another costume that is currently in the works. Metal Gear Solid themed
