Look for "My Double." There's at least one on Ebay, bid is over
$100.
It's thicker and harder to bend than chicken wire. The My
Double is meant to be formed around one's body and then stays firm
enough to be able to drape on it.
I learned to make forms in a museum with ethafoam — we used the
2" thick pieces, cut them into circles, ovals or whatever shape best
worked for the torso, then hotglued them together.

Didn't realize anyone actually ever marketed something of the sort.
I've never seen one online but wish I had! Maybe they don't use the
exact same type of chicken wire because the kind I use is flexible
enough that there was never a problem getting the exact form
required. The secret is to sort of tuck in the wire to make a
larger reduction quickly sort of like folding under fabric.
Would really like to know now how the other ones are to work with,
if they'd be easier or harder but when cutting everything to size
on your own it will be the right height, width, etc.
Do you know what brand they were? It's probably much cheaper
despite the extra effort to make them, though I made my first 6 in
one afternoon so it isn't too difficult if you have a good game
plan before starting. Guess it is a matter of weighing preference,
time and convenience vs. cost.
