I had never thought of making one... but I've been looking for a taylor going out of business or something so I could snag one cheep then modify it to fit my specific deminsions...
Anyway, living in a small apartment, I'm always concerned about space (which is really tight when you like to DIY), so when/if I get mine, I'm going to sit in in my entry so that when I'm not using it, it's a super cool coat rack.

I was toying with the idea of making a paper mache dress form a while back, but wasn't sure it was do-able. Apparently it is! (Sizing was the very reason I stopped sewing clothes for myself.)
