Belly casting is typically done in the final month of pregnancy. Petroleum jelly is used on the skin before casting to prevent sticking. I or your partner can place the cast over bare skin (for best results) or over your bra if you prefer. Plaster should be washed out with regular laundry soap, but you may choose to wear clothes you do not mind damaging, just in case. I will supply all materials and a drop cloth to protect the area; you will want to find a comfortable place to sit or stand, as the process typically takes an hour.
Additional costs:
Installed on Canvas $75+
