Step 9Hoist 'er up
Attach the bamboo poles to the inside of the torso with duct tape.
Try inserting the poles into your backpack and then cut the bamboo to the right height for the opening of the dress to sit at your actual neck when you are wearing the backpack. Your head should fit comfortably under the dummy's bust and in the bride's hands.
It may be helpful to lay the costume on the floor and try it on while lying down so you do not need an assistant to help you get the fit right.
Once the bamboo poles are the right length you can secure them inside the backpack with duct tape or create channels for them to slip into by sewing two lines down either side of where they should fit in the backpack.
