This is my second Latex project. I wanted to make a pair of latex pants for myself to learn how. The end product fits pretty well, but the next pair will definitely fit better. There are a number of ways to pattern the pants, I chose the simplest til I get more experience.

Note: I made mine a little too short in the waist. Could have used another 4-5 inches worth of material. seemed like I had plenty when I measured it. So if you don't want that creeping down your back/bum feeling, add some extra, you can always trim it to fit later.

Latex: ~2yds of 0.5 mm black latex from mjtrends.com
Time: about 3 evenings, 2 if you dont mess up
cost: about $35-45 for latex, glue, and thinner

An evening dancing in shiny black rubber, priceless...

How would my girlfriend go about making a top to go along with it?

Same process as taking the leg measurements. take measurements starting just above the hips and about every 4 inches upwards take a measurement (full circumference). Once you have those numbers, divide them by 2 so you have what you need for the each half (then add 1/2 inch to each side for good glued seams). That gives you an idea of the shape needed for the torso.

I'd make a tank top style first as they are easier to get on. after you get your numbers, mark them on paper like the pants. I use a existing tank top to get the shape of the upper torso (over the arms). That part doesn't need exact measurements to work.

Don't just copy a tank top itself, it will be too small to get on (tried that) . I used the measured numbers to get what I really need, and use the tank top to get the right shape.

Thank you.
It seems that each time I glue seams, it get easier.
Getting the feel of how much to tension both sides as you press together the seams, while simultaneously pulling down the seam to get rid of wrinkles, has been the hardest part.
Pull unevenly and panels dont match up.
pull too little and wrinkles show up.
pull too much and things get out of shape.
