Pattern Description: Misses' swimsuits and dress have empire seam, are lined at bust, and outside edges finished with elastic.

Pattern Sizing:XS to XL

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?They were very easy to follow

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I liked the gathered top

Fabric Used: Spandex lycra

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:Made as instructed except I tapered down to the next smallest size for teh bottoms.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I'm not sure if I'll make it again. It is cute but I feel like my large bust needs more support. I need to wear it more before I can be sure.

Conclusion: A cute but not too revealing swimsuit

sewing for fun	8/29/09	Hi there -very cute suit! You could try doing an FBA and then cutting a lining layer to include swim cups... I have the same issue!

marec	8/29/09	Really cute fabric and style. How is the coverage behind?

Sickofitcindy	8/29/09	Thanks Ladies for the nice words. :) Marec, I've found with KS patterns that there is ample coverage in the back. I don't feel like anything is hanging out that shouldn't be. I can't speak for bikini patterns because I'd never be caught dead in one!

li'l miss muffett	8/30/09	that is really cute. i've been afraid of that pattern because of the bust issue. I wonder if you could put an old bra in it and make the straps wider?

Sickofitcindy	8/30/09	That's a really good idea Lil Miss Muffet. I was going to put swim bra cups in but they were not the right shape and a bit too bullet bra like for my taste. However a regular bra might be the perfect fix.
