Duct tape dummy

A duct tape dummy, DTD, duct tape mannequin, or duct tape body form is a cast, or negative impression, of a person's body made of duct tape for use as a mannequin. In the furry fandom, duct tape dummies are primarily used in fursuit construction, but can also be used for other elements of cosplay, such as clothing. Use of a duct tape dummy is essential for creating a form-fitting bodysuit, by creating a template of the intended wearer's body from which the maker can work.
