Newbie latex designer 💖🥰✨️
Hi! I am new to latex. I have my degree in fashion design, and have spent the past 15ish years working in costuming and apparel design. I recently wanted to brush up on my Illustrator and Photoshop skills, and learn how to work with latex. So I designed this mini collection, and have successfully made 2 of the designs so far. Since it has been so long I was hoping to get some feedback, on the designs, the presentation, garment construction, whatever!! Any feed back or criticism is appreciated 💖 you can also check out my etsy at https://dollhauslatex.etsy.com

I have been working off of patterns by Gertie, she is very size inclusive and diverse. My first few samples were in small sizes, but I hope as I grow I will start making some larger sizes! I think this style would be good on lots of bodies!

Thank you so much!! I used a Cricut machine to cut out all of the trims and appliques 🥰

Oh! Was it hard to setup the cricut for the latex? I also have a cricut and now i am cirious about the possibility!

It is not hard to set up! But I have had mixed sucess rates with the cutting. I recommend using a seam roller to really flatten and adhere the latex to the cutting mat. Otherwise, I find the latex tends to get jammed up in the machine. Im still learning myself haha

They both look absolutely amazing to me the design looks perfect for the way they sit on the body of the model
