this might seem like a weird question...

for a 3D design class, i am making a long dress out of flat marbles (like marble magnets) with pictures from magazines in them. the idea/statement is that the entertainment industry/celebrities/etc in the media have way too much influence on the way we dress and carry ourselves and contribute to a general lack of self-expression in fashion. the dress doesn't need to be wearable, just a life-size dress shaped sculptural piece.

my question is what material should i use as the base shape to glue the marbles onto? i think any kind of fabric will be too flimsy. some sort of screen? ugh i'm at a loss, any ideas?
