Thought I was responding privately, but since I didn't, a question
occurred to me to pose to the group. When I was studying pattern
drafting at FIDM in L.A., I had a teacher who taught us how to make a
personal sloper using a waxed cloth that was heated and then molded to
our bodies. It worked great but I've never seen the stuff since or
heard about it and I'd love to find some. Anyone else heard of it?

Hi Sylvia
No (short answer)
long answer comes here ;-)
The core is hollow. It is a more advanced model of the papertape
dummy, someone on this list has the link for ;-)
Basically I got a rough sewn jersey tee on, and the teacher covered
me in three layers of brown papertrips and glue. The mold was then
cut off me and left to dry till the next day. Then we had to cut it
down, so that it was 5 cm less than our target measures, then pad it
up to 3 cm less than target measure by smoothing out hollows and
bumps with more brown paper trips and glue and pieces of newspaper. I
also added 3 layers of brown paper to the inside of the dummy, to
increase the strength. It also have some braces on the inside to
stiffen it as well.

Did you cover an existing mannequin with the brown paper after you
fitted it to yourself?
