KathySews   Advanced Beginner MI USA Member since 10/1/06 Posts: 2898	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/24/12 4:23 PM How depressing -- I was forced to go swimsuit shopping today. I want to be active and everything I saw was encouraging the girls to fall out at the first opportunity. Come on guys, big boobs, 60ish and deep plunging top is not a good look. And why do so many suits have cute fronts (shirred, ruffles) but then don't carry the styling to the back? So....I should try to make a suit. But I need a source for D-DD bra cups for the swimsuit. A nice tankini top pattern would be a bonus. Anyone have any info to help me out?

Date: 5/24/12 4:35 PM I think this is a really great pattern McCall's. But I see that it's OOP now. ------ Beverly Janome Coverpro 1000CPX; Brother Serger 1034D; Kenmore 19233; Alden (early 1970's) http://bjsewmuchmore.blogspot.com
