Put on a long old t-shirt and start wrapping yourself in duct tape. You will need someone to help you when it comes to the upper back. Make sure to do a few layers of tape.

I had a stand home that worked perfectly so all I did was tape some cardboard onto the stand the fit the form on top
( The chest area was not big enough so I added a bra with padding to enhance it)
