okie2thdoc said... You're giving me the confidence I need to make one. I lost my last swimsuit- don't know how and now need another one that fits. Love the ruffle too. Have you or are you going to try any other patterns? 8/6/10 11:29 AM

BeckyNoSleep said... love it, very nice job and thanks for your bravery in modeling your suit. Ruffles are a great addition to the suit, one of my favorite RTW one-pieces had a similar neckline with ruffle. 8/6/10 1:37 PM

treefrog said... Great work! Thanks for the review. It is very timely for me as I've been thinking of buying this pattern but a little chicken to actually try sewing swimwear. I'll have to take your advice and "do it"! 8/6/10 7:10 PM
doctorsirena said... Super cute - LOVE the ruffle! I might steal your idea and use this ruffle technique on a plain T-shirt. Enjoy your vacation! 8/7/10 7:26 AM
Diane333 said... Very nicely done. It looks great on. 8/7/10 8:55 AM
BrianSews said... That looks awesome! I'm super glad you were able to use that fabric for muslins. It makes a huge difference being able to practice on actual lycra when you're trying to fit that perfect suit. Love those ruffles! 8/7/10 8:58 AM

CynthiaSue said... no way!!! totally awesome. going to website now to purchase!!! 8/8/10 0:31 AM
cindyann said... Donna, I was so inspired by your review I've decided to make another one for my upcoming vacation. I noticed your cups are attached to each other. I really like that and was wondering if you made this adjustment to the pattern before you cut it out. TIA 8/8/10 1:29 PM
donna mel said... cindyann, are you wondering if i altered the upper front before or after it was cut out? i altered it after i cut it out, creating a seam in the center of the upper front. i cut out the 2 triangles, then sewed them together about an inch in, after i cut them out. see the photo at the CUPS clickable link, and you can see my seam. 8/8/10 4:26 PM
Deepika said... I love the ruffle! The bathing suit is fabulous. I can see you'll be cranking many more of these now. Super review too. 8/9/10 5:21 PM
LotusMonkey said... Thank you sooooooo much for taking pics so I could see how the suit ends up with mods for your torso length (I have the opposite: child-length torso! /:-( 4/2/13 11:26 PM
