Virginie bought the "Body Casting Manual" and got her husband and a friend to capture her beautiful curves in plaster


She ordered all the necessary material online in one of the shop recommended in the manual.

 

Here Alginate is mixed and applied directly on to the skin. Virgine adopts a modest pose with an arm covering her breasts.

 

Plaster bandages are laid over the alginate. This is to make a rigid shell to hold the fragile alginate mold.


Plaster completely covers the alginate mold.

Virginie waits for the plaster bandages to set. All up she had to keep this pose for just 25 minutes.

 

Once set, the entire mold is easily removed. .


Releasing the belly mold

Her arm got trapped into the alginate. It was simply a matter of cutting the alginate open to free her hand.

 

Here is the mold. A negative imprint  of Virginie seductive baby bump.


An alginate mold

It is now time for Virginie's husband to mix some plaster and pour it into the mold.

Plaster is poured inside the mould.
