It's making the doll model, mold and designing the skeleton. Then 382 other little things!

SmoothON is very good, but expensive. You might find better deals at local shops. They can also give you advice on how to operate with silicones.

Of course, you always have to weigh shipping cost against sales tax, fuel cost and your time.

Feel free to PM where your nearest big city is and I can check.
Smooth-On has retailers in different cities.
BITY aka Brick in the Yard is a independent shop in TX.
Retail shops don't make the silicone, but buy it from a manufacture such as Reynolds Advanced Materials.
For soft breast you want a Shore 10 w/ Slacker. Form them over a core of silicone Gel if you are able to.

BITY Youtube vids.

BITY has the most How To vids and they're great.
They do a lot of foam filled silicone heads which is a process you probably want to check out for making boobs.
I don't think I've ever seen a vid on making gel boob inserts. I know Abyss cast their gel cores in a silicone bag to make the process easier. Gel is gooey, sticky and has to be encapsulated in a firmer silicone.
