Rhoda K 8/6/07Great looking swimsuit and t looks great on you! Love the skirt pattern, but since I'm a bit older with a bit of fluff, I'll raise the waistline a bit ;-)

Rhonda in Montreal 8/6/07That wrap is really CUTE, Melissa!! Looks feminine & flirty!! Have Fun!
* * *
bunz 8/6/07Wow!
* * *
HeathersMom 8/6/07Very attractive!
* * *
SaraD 8/6/07They all look great! What would be your best tip for sewing swimwear, for some of us who haven't tried yet.
* * *
Levone 8/6/07Very cute, love your swimsuit and fabric.
* * *
martinanne 8/6/07Melissa, you're killing me! How can you look so good after having four kids??? I have four kids and it's very obvious by my belly. I couldn't pull of an adorable two piece suit like that one. You look amazing and that is SUCH a GREAT swimsuit! I love it!!
* * *
LoriV 8/7/07Great swimsuit, you look fantastic and I like the top on you.
* * *
zora 8/7/07I really like those skirt bottoms! Very cute!
* * *
Jeanninem 8/7/07Melissa, that is adorable, and what a great fit.
* * *
MelissaB in WA 8/7/07Gosh you're all so sweet ~ thank you for your kind words! Sara, I really don't have a best tip for sewing swimwear. I just followed the Kwik Sew instructions and they were excellent. I did use woolly nylon in the loopers of my serger for extra stretch, maybe that should be my tip. Now get sewing, it's very fun!
* * *
Sherril Miller 8/7/07Melissa, you forgot to answer Martinanne, how do you look so fantastic? You look great in that very nice bathing suit. Please tell me you work really hard starving yourself and you exercise like a fiend.
* * *
Soliel 8/7/07Wow that is a very stylish attractive suit. I am impressed.
* * *
mssewcrazy 8/7/07I am so impressed by all your sewing. You are right about the nicer swimwear being expensive plus there is no custom option other than stretched out spandex if one area needs to be larger than the other. I liked your children's swimwear also that you reviewed. You really work hard to get all this sewing done.

SandraB 8/7/07Your swimsuit looks great Melissa. Very cute.

MelissaB in WA 8/8/07Oh gosh Sherril, you're going tokill me, but I swear it's good genetics that I have. My exercise comes in the form of chasing kids around the house! LOL Truly they have all been good to me and while I gained weight being pregnant, they sucked it right off of me when they started nursing (I feel so blessed!).
* * *
mewiththree 8/8/07That is so darn cute! I have been dying to try a swimsuit pattern! And 1.99/yd! What a bargain!!
* * *
EveS 8/8/07This makes a very strong case for making my own swimwear! It's awesome...both styles!
* * *
slanden99 8/11/07Cute! Love the swim skirt--fun but comfortable
* * *
SharonB 8/15/07Cute swimsuit. How did you hem the skirt? Did you use a rolled hem? Do you have any tips? My serger is old and cranky.
* * *
MelissaB in WA 8/16/07Sharon, yes I just used a rolled hem on my serger. I had woolly nylon in both loopers so it has nice coverage. I also stretched the fabric as I serged and had the differential feed turned down so that my hem would be a little lettuce-y. Hope that helps you!
* * *
EvaDress 8/19/07Love it-looks a la 1940's vintage!
* * *
kim*brown 9/2/07That is adorable. I'm so jealous that you have kids and can still show your belly off!
* * *
Summermom24 6/7/09LOVE the suit! I was considering the same combination. I have 4 little ones (oldest is 8 youngest is 3 weeks) so I feel more confortable with a skirt when bending over and picking up kids, and well my breast need the support after having 4 little ones ;)
