I made a LATEX dress (it's easier than you'd think!) 

Between this, and the denim *secret pants*, Morgan is going to single handedly create a historical goth fashion subculture. And I'm here for it.

I love all the sewing explorations as of late. Using new products or shapes or style. Always so fun and interesting. Leave it to Morgan to make historical latex clothes and make it approachable. Very cool!

I think many of us would love to see Morgan make and demonstrate an 11th-century Holy Roman Emperor's costume crafted from plywood veneer, badger skulls, and AA batteries.

I work at a shop that makes and sells latex, and I have to say, your construction techniques were very on point! I was impressed. I never expected to see a crossover from the historical costuming community and my work. Latex ruffles are my absolute favourite so I'd love to see you do something ruffly.

You took me right back to the late 80's when my boyfriend (at the time) ran a popular rubberwear shop and I'd spend time hanging around in the workshop keeping the designer company while he was creating garments. He used to apply the glue to the seams with a toothed/crenelated "spatula" type implement in short strokes at right angles to the cut edge so that it had slight ridges in it - when it had cured and the seams were overlapped to stick them togehrer the ridges on each piece would interlock with ech other and help prevent shifting between the two pieces... (obviously the 80's was some years ago so I'm going on OLD memory here), and made for a stornger seam - like a cross between glue and stitching was how he explained it to me. No idea if the result was actually an improvement but he did it on everything he made. He made me a full-body "superhero" type suit from vibrant pink latex as a thankyou for my helping them fit out their shop. It had a white mohecan (cut from a wig) set into the hood and a darling little barb-ended "devil's" tail. One of the disadvantages to wearing it was that if I raised an arm too quickly, the change of air pressure under the suit would cause the armpit to make a loud farting sound. Another was the need to talc myself all over in order to get into the suit more easily - and getting to the point when I knew I'd been in the suit for too long, which was when the paste caused by the talc sweating down into the feet of the suit would squish between my toes at every step... Ewwwwww! That was the cue to leave the other costumers, head back to my hotel room, shower, and change into something else before returning to the convention.

"Use your safe search" surprised a loud laugh out of me and scared my cat. It's adorable. I especially like the red and blue color diametric, and I didn't think I would.

Wait... So latex clothing is *technically* a natural fabric? That's so cool! I never knew that, I thought it was a synthetic oil-based material, like plastic... The idea that it's in that way more simular to cotton than to polyester is so funny to me.

This so is cool, well done! 🙃 It's nice to see someone approach latex as a fashion material without all the usual prejudices! 🖤 And plus points that you did not use the latex milk (white glue) to do the seams, but the clear one. 🌟 By the way, you can also use a normal small brush to spread the glue, works for me as well (instead of a special glue spreader).

Oh man, that tracking shot as you were cutting out the latex was *chef's kiss* Love your creativity and willingness to jump into new challenges! Also, "better latex than never" 🤣🤣🤣

How have you managed to make me want a latex dress? I don't want a latex dress. Except now I do apparently...

Since you can leave the edges raw, you can do really intricate tagged or scalloped medieval hems, and it also makes doing windowpane cut-outs super easy.

This dress gives me loads of low poly, early 2010’s slightly shiny game graphics. Like a full latex outfit would make you look like a video game character

We need more “sewing for Science” please!!!!!!!!!! I learn so much about my sewing when you do these sewing for science. You show us why we make decisions in are normal sewing and why we might want to try this other thing. Please do more!

If you’re looking for latex inspiration, Jane Doe Latex has done some really cool designs for Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and several of the queens from Ru Paul’s Drag Race that use traditional dressmaking and couture techniques. Based on some of their designs, I think it would be fun to see a Rococo-style bodice or gown recreated in latex-very fitted but with lots of frills and bows.

Morgan's quickly becoming the master of historically inspired sewing shenanigans. I want to make one of those alignment charts of like, natural fiber, vegan, weave vs ect and the punchline: "Latex is a vegan natural fiber".

It looks so cute! You know, Morgan, we're here for ANYTHING you want to do; you make it all fun and plausible: "Oh! A rainbow-dyed, Lisa Frank-inspired Medieval gown? Love it!" "A kirtle made of latex? Why not?" Carry on!

How about a Medieval latex nun outfit? Sexy latex nun costumes are pretty common, so it would be amusing to see a proper medieval nun's attire made in latex.

1, Registration marks are very important. You can use sharpie and then clean it off after the seams are glued(make sure to color test first) 2, instead of sewing pins, use binder clips to hold unglued material together.

Me, allergic to latex: “what a wonderful instructive video!”

I'd love to see you do more historical garments in latex, it's a material that seems so modern and current given how many major fashion designers have used latex lately, but there was all this rubber clothing made in the past. I'd love to see you attempt a Victorian coat in latex, get some fullness in the sleeves tapering to tightly fitted forearms or something like that. Or figuring out how to add pleats or tucks in it. Also absolutely love that cinematic camera pan around you sitting at the table with your wimple and soundtrack music playing, SO good, more of that, expressing your creativity in your video production as well as in your clothing projects. It's great to see you've been having so much fun exploring different concepts, materials, or just fun mashups like the Shenanigan Pants. I adore your medieval/renaissance stuff, but I love this too.

This woman can make a dress out of everything. I respect that

I love seeing a medieval style dress in latex! Just a head's up that generally speaking, you don't wanna use anything except stainless steel hardware because other metals can discolor your latex.

I can’t stop imagining renaissance stuff in latex now. Oh no better : since we often imagine fairy with clothes made out of plant, what if they had clothes out of latex ?

Im currently in the process of planning a cosplay of "the Lady of the Green Kirtle" aka the Green Witch from the Silver Chair book in the Chronicles of Narnia; and it strikes me that latex mimics the shine of snake skin. I won't use latex for mine because I already have a fabric in mind, but I'd love to see your (or anyones!) take on the dress and the cosplay!

Morgan; vicariously living thru your current ‘series’! A note on latex: I had a domin@#$%x costume years ago. If it stretches a bit while wearing it, just stand in front of fridge, go on a walk in one or, if you can, remove and place in freezer for 15-20 minutes. Has leaving the PNW sparked all of this amazing content? I lone the JNCO ‘jeans’ you made recently. So awesome. Fashion is moving back to those wide legs right now, you are just ahead of the trend. Excellent. Hugs and all from a dyed in the wool Oregonian.

This is fascinating to me. As someone with a latex allergy, this isn't something I would use -- or had even really considered. But it's fun to watch someone else doing it!

Idea for transparent latex: something like a sweet heart neckline and then use transparent Latex to give it straps or something like these illusion-necklines on some wedding dresses.

Really well done, and a very cute result! One thing to watch out for is that copper stains latex very badly, so the fitting on that belt looks like brass. You either need to find copper free fittings of coat it in some like of laquer. Here's hoping you do more in latex!

That came out so cute! Even just the fun of a short kirtle… but latex is just that extra awesome! I’d love to see what happens if you glue boning somehow and do stays (maybe your gorgeous 17th century pattern) that two tone would be fun; blue for the silver and cream and the stomached could be reversible? Dunno if it’s possible but it would be epic!

as someone with a latex allergy its so weird to watch someone make a dress out of something so dangerous! such a cute hazard though! would love to see more from you with it!

I am in awe of how literally every hair style has perfectly suited you. Like, literally every single one.

I love this! For the researchers out there: you can use mounting tape to keep the material from curling. Also consider scuffing the fabric with sandpaper and leaving the seam under pressure for the 24 hours.

With your previous "Turned my friends into D and D" characters" video, it started me thinking about doing sort of a classic D and D "armor" outfit out of latex. Completely impractical as actual armor, but fun. Corsetry or stays would be fun too.

that dress turned out so cute & much less kinky than i expected it to be. i guess the colour choice is a big part of it- i'd never imagined a colourblock dress with grommets when hearing 'latex' & that's awesome! seeing this has me thinking whether latex might be an actual substitute for leather use in cosplay..? i've been putting off sewing faux leather fitted pants (like ciri's from the witcher 3) because the fabrics i've seen so far don't stretch and also .. sewing pants. i wonder how that would look, whether you can weather latex or whether it would be too shiny, but i'm way more curious now to see heartshaped see-through-latex cutouts things :) i admire your creativity & skills to pull these things off

I feel like Morgan is slowly building a wardrobe from the Kingdom Hearts and/or Descendants universes and I love it

all I think when I see this is 1 water proof dress and 2 a dress you'd wear on a rainy day and I absolutely love it

Such fun, I love the experiments you have been doing lately! It's interesting to see how such a thing could be translated into a underbust corset maybe. Not a traditionally 'rigid' one but a flexible (maybe even reversible) one? That way you could wear it like an edgy belt. Also, can you make ruffles with latex? I'm digging the idea of non traditional latex accessories, like a jabot or wrist ruffles to give an edgy touch to any outfit... OMG the possibilities!

I don't like how latex feels, but I really like your take on it! You made it less of a mythical thing to work with, and normalized it. At first I was afraid that you would have gotten datex or vinyl, but of course you know your stuff and it is the real deal.

just a random comment: I watch your videos to supplement my English classes. You speak so nicely and your diction is excellent for me. And I love your content.

One thing that you might want to keep in mind is wearing it around other people is latex allergy which is very common. My mom and I are both allergic to latex. For me, it also affects my breathing. How it affects my breathing is that it makes me feel like reaching down my esophagus just to scratch the insane itch in my lungs and it makes it hard to breathe. I will get lightheaded and possibly pass out. If someone touches latex and then me or my mom after the protein can get on our skin that way too and still cause a serious allergic reaction. It basically looks like our skin is turning to goo after a while if we are exposed without our knowledge. It also puffs up and becomes inflamed and obsessively itchy before disintegrating into skin goo. Not fun! Curiously and interestingly though, latex rubber tires for cars and whatnot don’t have an affect on us. I suspect that it is because it is processed in a way that it becomes such a solid form that the latex proteins aren’t released in the air or upon contact. Also, latex is one of those allergies that one doesn’t build tolerance to. One actually builds an intolerance that could lead to latex-fruit allergy as well. There are fruits that have a similar protein to that of latex and the body might be so sincere in protecting itself from latex proteins that it will react to any protein that is similar; which means no more guava, papaya, jackfruit, avocado, etc… Ultimately, it is a very serious allergy. Please be careful wearing this outfit around others and in enclosed spaces in public. Beyond that, your garment looks very lovely on you and complements your figure quite nicely! I wish I could try my hand with this material as well, but, alas, I must experience it vicariously through others instead. I’m sure you understand.

I love alternative “fabrics” and all the fun! Every year at the GAS (Glass Art Society) Conference they have a glass fashion show, you should totally look some of that up!

A lot of drag queens (at least here in the UK) do really fun and interesting sculptural gowns with a mix of latex, pleather and scuba fabric (scuba fabric skirts drape like a *dream*). They are all a bugger to work with and combine though: I know the queens in my area don't attempt it at first without someone on hand with experience to help them.

As someone who goes to the underground clubs of most peoples nightmares dressed in all black, skin tight and polished to a perfect shine (no powder, I hate it).....biggest smile on my face watching this. It does fel like a part of you the more you wear it!

I am today years old to learn that latex is a natural material. Also, I love your dresses! That navy embroidered dress is a dream!

Latex is a really fun material to work with and I'm so glad to see you playing with it! If you or anyone needs tips on storage, cleaning or even constructing latex clothing I genuinely recommend any BDSM or kink forums / groups that focus on latex (as long as you're 18+ ofc ). Ppl in kink are super helpful and are a super great resource for latex/rubber and leather!

I just recently cut my hair far shorter than I originally asked for. I was so upset because I thought it made me look less feminine (i do not think that WoMeN mUsT dReSs LiKe WoMeN i just personally like to dress with skirts and dresses), but seeing Morgan rock my hairstyle gives me a boost of confidence :) if she can look gorgeous so can I

I would be fascinated to see one of the historical flowy/drapey gowns you often see made of fine linen or muslin, made of that finer latex. A Chemise ala Reine, perhaps? the wimple was so cool!

i'd be really curious to see how latex worked for the really drapey, form-fitting 1930's styles if you'd be interested in something like that!

Ooooouuuuu new materials AND new camera tricks! How fun!! (Also hiding the Hunt A Killer box on the shelves in the background during the intro and behind the secret message board for the ad! Very clever!!)

Oh my gosh the dresses you wear during the video are all so cute!! I especially love the light blue one with the black accents! Also the finished latex dress came out super cute!!

I'm glad you included the short part about safety. The air flow and respirator are very nice to know

100% loving Morgan having fun with unique materials and concepts.

Ok, two things: 1. GORGEOUS. I love the look of latex fashion, though I’ve never worn it myself. (Mild allergy.) My spouse took me to a latex fashion show when we were dating, and I saw the coolest 1950’s style dresses. The only drawback I saw were the lack of closure. I think a laced up or belted 1950’s dress would look really really cool. 2. From one person growing out short hair to another, any historical ish cap/headscarf recommendations?

That camera angle at 0:56! I was thinking..."she doesn't have an interior window", then later I spotted the mirror and I knew. However, then I was even more amazed at the work needed to capture your image off a mirror and be so centered. Just amazing! You're creativity and sense of adventure knows no bounds. Edited to get time stamp just right.

I don't often comment but this deserved it! Yo made a LATED DRESS LOOK WHOLESOME!!!!! Like wha?!??!?!?!?! But its also oddly wearable, when I saw the complete look I imagined running into you at a coffee shop and thinking what a cool dress but it wouldn't feel out of place at all. Ok, done rambling I'm just completely awestruck by this project!

I'm really here for Morgan doing whatever she wants.

I haven't even watched it yet and I'm excited but I immediately got worried the metal bits might stain the latex (some materials/metals can) 12 mins in and I think you're doing great! Your seams are wonderful (for anyone else trying, you want to avoid bubbles/press tiny ones out as much as possible bc tear point), and since you're working with double sided latex you don't need to worry about machined side (slightly more dull/sometimes light machine markings) than "right" side. It also looks like you're working with a gel pen which does wipe off well (and we use - my partner learned from a latex fashion designer). The powder is talc! It helps keep the latex from getting moist and molding/sticking. Sounds like early latex wear melted due to the process being so new - but low quality latex absolutely still degrades into mush over time. 13 : Oh yeah, usually we do a little section at a time but gotta try that cling film - and don't worry about latex walking, that happens, though yeah its a because stretching thing. Again, awesome seams! And yup, curved seams are difficult (making a cap, hood, mask etc is uhhh... well done better over a form!) Latex soaked twill tape is something I haven't heard of before but definitely on the right track with encasing in the latex for a re-enforced spot... I knew you'd come up with really interesting workarounds bc of your other work, and well you know how corset boning channels work! I love the finished look! My only oh no is you want to use lube on your skin and the latex when putting something on that might "pull" more - to avoid tearing. And you're right on about temp - you will feel the ambient temperature. Hot out? Sweat time. Cold out? Freezing. The longer you wear, the more sweat you're gonna end up encased in. As for storage n care - I'd have to ask partner for more details to give full recc's but yeah, its its own storage and cleaning beast. You don't have to powder to store, and there are products to "feed" the latex so it keeps its shine. IDK what you did to clean up yours? It didn't look fully shined? But You're right on storing out of sun (we store our pieces in baggies with a corner cut off) also mind folding it up bc sometimes those folds can stick around awhile if it ends up under heavy stuff. IDK how to reach out further but I'm sure my partner can write down some of the class he teaches on latex wear & creation for future projects!

OMG! PLEASE DO MORE! This was so cool and different. I'm really interested to see how this would hold up as a cloak or cowl. For those rainy days at faire. Lol Thank you for the unique adventure. You've piqued my interest.

I would really love to see more with latex; it looks really interesting and cool, and since I'm allergic to latex, I can live vicariously through you

This channel is really inspiring me to try sewing. Ive had basic knowlage of hand sewing since i was a kid, but ive never tried making an entire clothing item before. I'm a little intimidated to start a new hobby, but yesterday i found an abandoned sewing table with a sewing machine on my walk home from work, so i think fate is asking me to start sewing at this point.

Three things… 1. I LOVE how you panned the camera as you worked through the glueing. It was really neat. 2. Better latex than never…. 😜 clever and fun! 3. I love your thermal nail polish! … wait I have a fourth… 4. Your hair it SO cute at all it’s lengths!

i 've only ever really seen latex in the Fetish-wear and Drag context, and im facinate to see you take it in a more casual/wearable direction. You seemed to be having a lot of fun working with Latex, so id be curious to see how else you could incorporate latex into yur style and projects

Using a (tailor's) clapper is also great for gluing seams! You'll avoid the stretching that leads to rippling when rolling.

Latex series? YES,PLEASE! More, more, more.

Ready for both the Ren faire and the kink club in one outfit lol.

I want to echo another comment: STAYS! And what about a corset? With bright colors, like yellow, you can make what would otherwise be kinda sexy into something fun and cute! I'm so here for more latex!

I’ve always loved Morgan’s content, but the recent creative streak is truly mind-blowingly original and fun. It’s really different from everything else I’m seeing and I’m loving it!

I love the look with the respirator when you were gluing. So chic! 😂

Having made a couple of corsets because bras just don't do the job once you're past an E cuo, I have come to realize just how much cuts and structure can help clothes fit your body instead of the other way around. When making the corsets, I used the sturdiest, best and most beautiful fabric available, and tailored each piece several times until the logistics finally worked (boning placement is very different for plus sizes than in any pattern!) and the corsets looked and felt great. My young daughter has been hunting for a good sports bra for months, without really finding something that stabilizes her assets without digging into the shoulders, underarms, where the cups meet in front and around the underbust strap. I have a feeling that a short corset that would spread the weight of the assets over a larger area might make shoulder straps almost ornamental, and vertical curved boning must dig in less than the traditional two crescents. But a corset for excercise must be more flexible than the ones I have made, and handle sweat better. I have been thinking of using mesh, but panels of latex might be exactly what is needed to give that bit of stretch without producing hard folds. I would love to see you develop a corset with support, breathability and flexibility by combining the characteristics of the three materials!

Hey! As someone who literally did make latex clothing for a living for a while, you did a GREAT job explaining the process! It definitely takes time and practice to get seams to join smoothly.

The pixie cut is everything!

That white top and the braids is the most lovley vibe I've seen today

I hope your beautiful blue dress didn't get ruined by the glue incident, I gasped when that happened 😅

I know it’s just about the opposite of form-fitting, but something about the way the latex flares out and holds its shape so beautifully makes me want to see a little capelet made out of it

I really love the angle you are approaching latex from as I too am interested in the more ”casual” ways of making and wearing latex clothing. In the end of the day, it is just another material like cotton or leather. I also love how comprehensive this video was and you had clearly done your research. The dress is beautiful!

what an interesting garment!! i think you balanced the more ~spicy~ connotations of latex with the colors and fit to your body, and i think the lacing/belt straddle that line perfectly. the video is also shot and edited beautifully!! i can't remember ever seeing a panning timelapse shot in a youtube video before so that was really cool (:

That dress turned out so cute! I think it’d be really interesting to watch you make a mermaid tail, I wonder how you’d tackle that. Then again I probably only think that because that’s something I’m working on and I’m a bit lost.

I have latex jewellery that was handmade from liquid latex & it's fantastic. Latex medieval jewels...? This was fascinating! I love how fearless you are with your media. Though I do hope that lovely robin's-egg blue dress wasn't permanently latexed! Although I guess you could try liquid latexing a fabric dress, so you get the shine & transparency without the perforation thing...

The whole outfit at the end with the white blouse under the dress makes for a really cool look

The veil and wimple absolutely slayed me.

This is perfect! I was literally JUST doing research how to costume with latex rubber, and struggling to find information that wasn't filtered out by my google safe search... LOL

This was SO COOL AND SO CUTE. Morgan how dare you make me want a latex kirtle?! Also the flexible neckline for the off shoulder look is KILLER 😍

Bravo! Would never have expected a latex garment from Morgan Donner, and yet the style is quintessential "Morgan Donner"!

This is inspiring me to work little bits of ~historicalness~ into all the clothing I wear! I love the fusion vibe its giving

Please do more with latex! This entire process was fascinating. There have been multiple RuPaul's Drag Race runways with a latex theme that might be good to get inspiration from! I love that, despite venturing into latex, you still made a particolored kirtle.

I’d definitely love to see more adventures in latex “sewing”!

A lot of plants have latex! It's the white sticky stuff that gets on your hands if you pick dandelions, milkweed (the plant monarch caterpillars eat!), and many other plants

Genuinely creative and original... I'm always here for Morgan Donner

When I saw the whole look with the wimple and veil, I made the most aggressive GRAH noise of approval. Love it. Love it! The date night styling is beautiful. I would love to see more work with latex. Take us all on your journeys Morgan!

My favorite part is watching you have fun trying new things. I came for the medieval sewing, but I stay for the shenanigans! I never know what your next project is going to be, but they are always awesome. Keep having fun! ❤️😍

That belt tho! It adds so much to the final look! I don't know how I got here but I'm thrilled to see more.

i was NOT ready for how much i needed to see latex medieval wimple lady

I think it turned out great! For such an unconventional material for a garment like this, it looks like it works surprisingly well and looks great because of the latex's properties (shininess, vibrancy). For doing more latex experiments you could probably make pieces that'd compliment this kirdle, from accessories to jackets to even a cape or something like hat. The belt is very adorable with it also 🥺

28:28 your casual-but-fierce editing game, tho Also, I'd love to see latex medieval goth queen (the old school goth in me would be delighted), which also kind of reminds of Maleficent... so maybe like, Maleficent but her inner dress is latex. Not sure how a latex cape would work.

I’m so here for these fun alt fashion and historical combos.

I love when Morgan tries making unique style clothing with unique combination of fabrics. Love to see more!

This turned out so good. Would love to see more latex projects 😍

This is the most brilliant mash up between period dress and Latex ware! Would love to see how window panels would look. Also what about a pair of gloves? Perhaps not wrapped around all fingers like a traditional glove, but something like a ring wrap on the middle finger that then goes over the back of the hand and up the rest of the arm.

You hurdled an impressive number of obstacles in this learning curve, nicely done.

A latex blazer in that wide shoulder 80's style would be so cool!
