Zaneta said... Wow..it still looks very nice!! Thanks so much for your tips.. maybe she can wear it as an undergarment top like a layering piece under a dress or something..it can still look really cute? 2/18/07 11:28 PM
brrmm said... Yep, can't beat the Kwik Sew patterns hey? Still I think it look really cute. Too bad about the fit of the pattern....we all know togs don't need ease, why don't the pattern makers? 2/18/07 11:47 PM

Frogstitcher said... My first thoughts based on the picture was how professional looking it is. Hongkongshopper had a good idea - put it away for awhile and maybe she'll fit it better later. It is a very cute looking suit. 2/19/07 11:09 AM
MelissaB in WA said... Bummer Belinda - I'm sorry it didn't work out. Thank you for sharing your experience and it looks like KS is the clear winner for swimwear patterns. Good to know! I do think it looks cute in the picture tho and like the others said, maybe it will fit better at a later time. 2/19/07 1:02 PM
LauraM62 said... I'm sorry it didn't work for you Belinda. I agree with you on the so much with this pattern. I too added elastic to the straps, I don't know how they think they would stay up without it! Then I sew the elastic in the back down - duplicating some RTW tankini's we have, instead of casing it as they have you do. As you know from my review I just pretty much remade the whole bottom part of the top . And forget the bottoms, I too grabbed a Kwik Sew. For us though, now that I got the fit down, & the quirks worked out, this tankini top stays around. Thanks for including my tip! You do such wonderful sewing - I love reading all your reviews! 2/19/07 5:34 PM
