Strip to your undergarments, wearing a bra that you normally wear.
Put on an old t-shirt that won't be missed, since it will become part of the dress form.
Begin wetting some of the packing tape.
Start wrapping the tape with your friend's assistance, making an X over your chest and continue wrapping horizontally, preserving the shape of breasts for female shapes, until you have a few layers of tape.
Remain still while the shell around you dries, usually about an hour, perhaps watching some TV or something so you don't get too bored.
Cut the shell beginning at the bottom of the middle of the back, cutting upwards all the way to the neck.
Remove the shell carefully, bending it no more than necessary, to avoid damaging it.
Seal the cut in the back with packing tape.
Set the shell in a place where it won't be disturbed while it dries completely.
Hang your dress form securely, so it will not fall.
Use two poles, one small enough to fit inside your dress form the long way yet doesn't extend through the neck hole, to make a lowercase T, with the crossbar at approximately your shoulder level when it's standing up, and tape the poles together.
Place pole securely into a Christmas tree stand so it stands upright.
Place your dress form over the top of the pole, resting on the crossbar of the T.
