Hi Bjarne.
My sewing teacher Kia is doing a dressform course in june. It is quite
expensive though, but the form will be an exact copy of yourself. The course
itself is around 3000 kr and the materials are around 5-700. My mother has one
and it is wonderful.

Thanks for all your interresting inputs to my question.
It is interresting to compare all the real cuts to the cuts in
