Morgan Donner is an American YouTuber and historical costumer who has been documenting her garment-making on YouTube since 2011. Self-taught and research-driven, she drafts, sews and problem-solves her way through historical clothing from many eras β€” and explains her reasoning as she goes.

Her projects range across the centuries, and Victorian viewers are well served: period underwear, corsetry experiments and sweeping "history of" style challenges all feature. Her tone is experimental rather than lecture-like β€” more "how I did it" than "how you must do it".

For Victorians curious about making their own historical clothes, her channel is one of the friendliest starting points β€” practical, honest about mistakes, and clearly in love with the craft. Tutorials and project videos sit side by side, so you can learn a technique and then watch it put to work on a full garment.
