The overlap of people in this community that grew up with places like Hot Topic, remembered how much they spent there, and said “I can do that without the middleman.” Is staggering. 😂

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

Hot topic was cheap knock offs of actual fashion from first class boutiques. Why wear crummy clothes when you can make a truly quality copy? If you think Hot Topic was legit, you need to go walk through a designer salon at Nordstrom or Saks and see the quality standards those clothes were originally made to.

[@jackdaw7751]

I skipped ahead and combined thrift with sewing instead. Admittedly we didn't actually get a hot topic until after I'd been doing it a while. But yeah...😆

[@rd6203]

@@elizabethclaiborne6461 Not disagreeing with your sentiment, but would like to point out that the answer to your "why?" is because most teens, and in fact a very many adults, cannot afford to shop at Saks or Nordstrom, nor can they afford that quality/quantity of material and often enough don't possess the ability to produce something of that quality. One can make the absolutely valid argument that practice makes perfect, but sometimes there are pretty valid reasons for that not happening.

Go down to a Singer sewing machine retailer or a quilting supply shop they tend to have sewing machines that are built for taking thicker Fabrics. So if you wanted to do it out of wool you would be buying the right equipment and they can help you figure out what sewing machine is best for you if you don't presently have one. Not going to lie you should be prepared to drop between 150 To 200 dollars on a good sewing machine that's really worth it, that's going to do thicker fabric. Best wishes happy crafting

Best part - the calf-to-ankle portion had zippers down the side seam & when opened, the pants got even WIDER in the leg with a panel of leopard print now exposed.

Thank you for the nostalgia, this was wonderful, and I will WHOLE HEARTEDLY consider making some shenanigan pants.

[@lauraelaineallen21]

I can tell you the tripp pants back in the day did weigh a ton. And the pockets were always amazing. I miss my old tripp pants. My last pair were lost with a misplaced suitcase in college

[@defiant_bard]

Me at the beginning of this video: Is Morgan okay? Me at the end of this video: I require shenanigan pants in linen. Clearly this is just a genius at work.

[@donkelly4718]

As a 90's early 2000's grunge goth kid myself, I very much remember trip pants, and the fact that Victorian pant skirts made your brain think of trip pants is exactly why I love your channel. THESE ARE AWESOME!!!!

[@WolffangLightwood]

Now that's an absolute style for a Victorian dnd setting warlock/artificer aesthetic

[@hollo0o583]

Sweetie, I’m convinced that someone will steal this pattern and mass manufacture it… please don’t let them get away with this. Also, I’m totally not about to recreate this look in a toned down version…

[@elisaninis]

From the mid of the video I was just thinking how she should actually sell the pattern to cybergoth brands because oh my. I NEED THOSE SKIRT PANTS for liiiiiiiife

[@erinmiller8622]

Well except for the fact that basically these are just jnco pants which were extremely popular in the late 90s - early 2000s especially by "raver" and "goth" kids. So not much to steal. Still cool to make yourself.

[@erinmiller8622]

@@user-im6ms1me4y I don't think you get my point. No one can "steal" this idea from OP because it's not new and it's not original to OP. I'm not saying they can't try to make a hustle from it, I'm just pointing out that it can't be stolen since it was already stolen to begin with 😅. You can't patent an idea that you didn't originally come up with in the first place. Also, I'm fairly certain I don't need anyone pointing out that the 90s is making a come back, again. I'm 39 and let me go ahead and tell you that this is the *second* time SINCE the end of the 90s that the 90s has "made a come back". Nothing is original anymore. 🤷‍♀️ So sure, make a side hustle but don't try to claim anyone is stealing and idea that's not original to begin with.

[@RachelleHinrichs]

I loved watching Morgan weigh her wool pants after adding nearly 3 pounds of straps, buckles, d-rings and zippers!

[@lucyj8204]

"Reversible!" So the question I had as soon as you made the bottom part removable was: did you arrange the zips so that the red leg can go on the black half and vice versa? Because that would be another Lewk.

It seems like gothifying non-goth skirt pants would be the easiest way to go if you didn’t want to start fully from scratch: throw on a ton more pockets and chains, dye it black, topstitch all over (by hand even)…

This aesthetic is FLAWLESS!!!! So freaking good!!!! I love the gathered hem with the pinafore the most, it’s so perfectly a combination of all of the different styles that go together to make this one, each represented and none of them clashing or stepping forward into the spotlight! Also: this is SO Kingdom Hearts vibes, AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT???

[@katherineshaver2440]

Specifically Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora. Same color combination of black, red, and yellow, along with plenty of belts.

Yes with the drawstrings closed up I was IMMEDIATELY reminded of Sora.

May I suggest making the back pleat fairly deep and being prepared to replace the waistband and the zip-off legs with longer counterparts as the child grows? Because it would be a tragedy to make them only to have the child outgrow them almost immediately.

[@texassweetgrl]

My fellow Morgan fans have the best ideas...aka my 9 yo daughter wants a pair too.

[@corujadatoca]

When I started watching this I thought "wow, cool pants", then when you showed all the different ways of wearing them I immediately had the urge of doing some for myself because THEY ARE AWESOME PANTS

[@LordxPaesh]

as someone who loves both the victorian era/style and alternative style, this was extremely exciting to watch! I've recently gotten back into dressing more alternatively, Tripp pants being a big part of that, and I would die if I could get a piece like this in my wardrobe.

[@the-inatorinator]

The more I think about it, the more Victorian Tripp pants actually make a lot of sense! Both historical and punk aesthetics originate from clothing that was both DIY and functional. They've both been modernized with time to meet changing needs of the wearer and maintain the more aesthetic elements of outdated functional features, but that handmade, utilitarian origin is still there. I mean, look how this project alone exemplifies that! All the different variations you showed off in those last few minutes. The massive pockets. The freedom of movement with the still "feminine" style. It's the most gorgeous cursed object I've ever seen in my life

[@the-inatorinator]

Also I know that Tripp pants aren't necessarily punk but all alternative styles originate from punk in some way so shh

[@coalsparks]

I am really intrigued by how well this mash-up worked. Despite the punk aesthetic, these are very practical with their pockets and mighty morphin design elements, and that really aligns with the concept of a walking skirt. I’m still curious to see how the rear gathers intersected with the through-the-leg pants bit.

[@michaelcinelli4120]

LOVE IT! Needs a men's version and a complementing shirt, jacket or both, but I WOULD WEAR THIS IN A HEARTBEAT. Fashion seriously needs more creativity, especially men's clothing

[@winternight8813]

This amazing versatile skirt is quite possibly the very best thing you have ever made Morgan! WOW! I would love to see this again but "Steam Punk" as in 'When goth finds out about brown and leather." Wow, I am just loving the apron/overall option!!

[@catrinahorsman1637]

I used to have a pair of trousers just like that in my teens, I'm pretty sure they're still hidden away in storage somewhere. I couldn't bear to get rid of such peak emo goth awesomeness, despite the fact that they stopped fitting over a decade ago. I now have a burning desire to dig them out and frankenstein them into a victorian skirt. What can I say, your videos always inspire me! :-D

Do as your heart tells. The bonus of goth/punk wear is that the DIY vibe makes it absolutely okay to add a piece to enlarge unfitting parts :p

It's upcycling, I say go for it. Bonus points if you find other stuff in your stash that is equally old and use that too in your alterations.

[@rebeccacuthbertson1271]

Morgan Donner, you have created magic. Something absolutely freaking magical. How were we not all wearing this in high school already. Seriously. Like we're all now obsessed. The perfect mashup of 2000s punk/goth with secret pants and quarantine "I need to be presentable for something but I'm going to be as cozy as possible while doing it." This might become the biggest trend since everyone started making Victorian walking skirts and chemise a la reines.

[@vidkidloserface]

As a youth who saved up all her minimal coin to buy a pair of these types of pants from Hot Topic, let me just say you fucking NAILED all the little details. The bits and bobs and loops and straps. You took this idea to THE NEXT LEVEL with the accuracy of the conversion from punk pant to punk skirt.
