A really big dollie.
Kimberly et al.,
I just posted my mannequin on the Alicia Rose site. I cannot tell you how useful this setup was in gauging color relationships. My model had left for college and it was invaluable in painting the skirt, the rose and the sash.
The blouse, corset, waist and front of the skirt was painted from the model, but the skirt was painted from the mannequin. It was great to place the drapery where you wanted it and not have it move.
I have done similar mock-ups with paper towels and pillows, but this is easier.
