PhyllisC 8/7/05Great suit Sherrill. You look fabulous!

mudcat 8/7/05Yes, it looks great on you. Good colors.

drsue 8/7/05Both suits are terrific I think. I saw this review just as I finished cutting out for a KS suit top. Just finished the bottom and a skirt. I'm finding sewing all the elastic to be tiresome - - did this bug you?
* * *
Sherril Miller 8/7/05Sue, on this suit I used way too many pins and it was a painful event. On my other one, I started putting in the pins parallel to the fabric edge, removing them as I got to them. In this way, I used less pins and got poked much less often. You're right though, sewing on all that elastic gets old fast. Is your current project for youself?

Linda E. 8/7/05Great looking suit you did a great job. I do not remember making the suggestion to use a Large I may be losing my mine.

Linda L 8/7/05Very nice swimsuit. You did a good job.

Hilary 8/7/05Thanks for modeling your swimsuits for us! I think they both look great on you-I *love* this red flowered swimsuit fabric! I for one don't think its too skimpy at all, but I know how you feel in a suit makes a huge difference. How did you like the back center strap? Is it effective in preventing straps falling( and is it comfy?) I have this pattern as well, and am chicken to try it :D

Deepika 8/7/05Sherril what a cute swimsuit. This is a great pattern.

MaryBeth 8/7/05Interesting, informative review. Thanks for taking the time to do it and showing us your results. Love the fabrics, wraps and suits: looking good.

ryan's mom 8/8/05This suit looks terrific on you. I know you commented that it's a bit on the small side, but it really highlights those legs! Very flattering IMO.
* * *
Tiner 8/8/05Your suits look great, and I agree with Ryan's mom--this one plays up your legs!
* * *
Gigi Louis 8/8/05I can't believe this is your first swimsuit - it really turned out great. I've only made the wrap from this pattern. I think I'll reconsider the suit after reading your review. You have such great legs!
* * *
Lee Ann Hawkins 8/8/05Great job, Sherrill. I like my swimsuits to be a bit on the big side, too, as who wants to spend all day tugging and pulling! Looks great, go dive in and have fun!
* * *
ryan's mom 6/3/09Thanks for a great review, Sherril! I'm thinking about buying this pattern.
