Lori Sews 2/19/06What a cute swimsuit! It looks so RTW. Great color combo, and I love your ruffle! Thanks for the great instructions and review. You look fantastic Leslie with or without a tan!

BjP 2/19/06Boy is this ever a cute suit! You look great in it and I love love love the color! I will never again - sigh - be in the market for sewing a swimsuit, but if I was, this would be a great review to refer to!
* * *
Nickle 2/19/06Your suit looks fabulous on you. Love the fabric you chose.
* * *
PopoAgie 2/19/06This reminds me so much of a bikini I had in my teen years the seventies in Florida! Very cute. I've progressed to boy bottoms and cropped cami-type swim tops, but your version could motivate me to get in shape! And, you really did a nice job on are instructions "article." Good job!
* * *
Gilraen Surion 2/19/06Lovely swimsuit. I am jealous of the colour, Absolutely love that colour but can't wear it. I look like a corps in it. You, however, pull it off beautifully even without the suntan
* * *
casken 2/19/06I love your swimsuit! It looks very good on you.
* * *
Mariko 2/19/06Thank you for your review and putting details! It look so cute on you, and I am very motivated to make one (not bikini, but tankini) for myself. You did a great job and very inspirational!

Leslie in Austin 2/19/06So cute!! I love the polka dots and the ruffle is the perfect feminine juxtaposition to your lovely athletic figure. Very inspiring. Thanks for the detailed how tos. The swimwear fabric aging in my stash thanks you, too.

milwaukee_kelly 2/19/06Great suit Leslie! I like how you altered the top; thanks for sharing it too.
* * *
Vonnevo 2/19/06Leslie, a fabulous cute swimsuit. Forget the natural tan and all it's risks, cheat with a bottle of self tanning lotion.
* * *
jemgirlca 2/19/06So cute!
* * *
Judy Williment 2/19/06What a fabulous suit! If you're after a tan, I'll cheerfully give you the sunburn I copped yesterday on a glorious late summer day lying on my deck ;-)

* * *
mommietothree0 8/8/06What is milliskin and where do you find it? Adorable suit! May be the cutest I've seen, even in RTW.
