Patti B said... Wow, it looks great and your alterations all achieved their purpose. Land's End has nothing on you! I like the top fabric too, especially with the black. 7/9/05 10:06 AM
bunz said... I also like the top fabric. Isn't it amazing how tankinis can work on a "mature" bod!! Did you attach the waist at the waistline or at the bottom of the top piece? 7/9/05 10:24 AM
Julia in NC said... You have done exactly what I have THOUGHT about doing......because I have a lands end swimsuit similar to this that I wanted to make rather than buy (because of the cost). I think you did a GREAT job. and I bet you spent a lot less, and now you have a pattern you can use again and again. Maybe I'll be so adventurous some day. 7/9/05 10:56 AM

purpleseamstress said... Thank you. I'm getting ready to make swimsuits for the DD and I. This is a great review. 7/9/05 11:58 AM
Karla Kizer said... Amazing knock-off. It looks great. Lands End should be copying your suit, instead of the other way around. 7/9/05 12:10 PM
Jill Giard said... Phyllis - your suit looks great on you. Nice job. Thanks for a thorough review. 7/9/05 12:24 PM
Pam Z said... Great looking suit, wonderful fit! I like the top fabric. What fabric did you use for the shelf bra & for tummy control & your sources, please? 7/9/05 3:27 PM
Teri said... Phyllis, your suit looks great! I am with you, what is with swimsuits costing so much. Good grief, there is not even a yard of fabric in most of them:) 7/9/05 3:40 PM
drsue said... Great suit! I'm gathering my materials to make some swimsuits myself. I really choke on the RTW prices. Just bought dh two bikinis (three peices each including the skirt) and each was about $150! Needles to say, I'm analyzing them extensively. 7/9/05 3:56 PM
