Might not be the look you want, but I purchased silver/gray blow up mannequins pretty cheaply when I needed to have forms to paint unitards when I did CATS. They ran small and of course they are squishable. Side Note: If you goggle inflatable mannequins, you get a few porn sites as well as other. If I remember correctly, I got mine from a Canadian shop that also sold Halloween costumes, but I could be remembering wrong.

I am putting on an exhibition next year of 200-year old garments that are too small for the standard sized dummy/mannequin - I probably need ones the size of a thin 12-year old girl. Can you recommend anywhere online where I can purchase nice-looking foam dummies/mannequins for display of extant garments? I really want people to see the gowns in 3D instead of lying flat in boxes. I have purchased dummies in the past from http://www.tinnafashion.com but the shoulders and chests are too broad.
