I love this pattern for a basic tank top; I need to review it too. Yours look really great, and good job getting it to fit nicely along your bust. I wonder why I never had trouble with underarm gape on mine...

Really cute and it looks like it will be a staple in your wardrobe

Very nice and thanks for the heads up on the underarm gaping problem. I have this pattern and would like to sew it soon. 2BSewing also mentions the gaping in her review. To quote her: "I had a problem with "flaring" under the arm and top was a bit loose. The pattern description did say this was a close-fitting top. So, I adjusted my pattern by trimming away 3/8" in the ease area (under the arm) and tapering back out to the pattern line above the waistline on the front pattern piece. I also trimmed away 3/8" under the arm and tapering above the waistline on the back pattern piece. I also trimmed away 3/8" on each end of my arm bindings. This resulted in a nicer fit." Hmm . . . even though JuliaS had no problem with the underarm issue, obviously I'll be making a muslin . . . just in case. I imagine I'll use some combination of 2BSewing's method and your foldover elastic remedy. Nice job!

I often have that issue with underarm flare too. Thanks for all the tips.

You can also fix the 'gape' by running an ease-line along the curve. I love your tops

Great job on your tops. You really did a great job with your gape fix.
