Jennifer shaw said... Great top, Gigi! 7/9/04 3:51 PM
jlg said... Your top is very pretty. I'm glad that you had success. 7/9/04 5:34 PM
alicia said... Nice to know about strap coverage - thank you for the great review! 7/9/04 5:37 PM
Rennie Ashby said... A great coordinating piece for your new KS 3098 skirt I see. 7/9/04 5:56 PM
MaryBeth said... Whew! Glad to hear positive things about this pattern, Gigi. Thanks for the review. 7/9/04 6:24 PM
Elona said... What a cute tank! I may have to change my mind about buying this one.
Do you think the woven tee, with that minimal half-inch of ease, would be more comfortable/workable on the bias? 7/9/04 6:29 PM
Debbie Spriggs said... I really like the added detail that the contrast elastic and bow add to this pattern! 7/9/04 9:06 PM
drsue said... Fabulous job as well as wonderful fabric and trim choices! 7/9/04 9:06 PM
Levone said... I love your tank, and it looks great! I was just thinking of making a black wrap top with white trimming and know that I see your top I'm going to do it. 7/9/04 9:18 PM
Teri said... Wonderful as usual Gigi. I don't think I would have given this pattern a 2nd look, but I like your comments about coverage. I wear a lot of tank tops in the summer, even if the What not to Wear girls say not to. I figure they can say that because they live in drizzly England:) 7/9/04 9:39 PM
Joyfullife said... Thanks for the great review, Gigi! I never wear tanks either because of all you mentioned, AND the armscyes are usually too droopy. How are they on this tank? I may just have to buy my first L. Hinse pattern. 7/9/04 10:54 PM
Annette H said... Totally stunning. I've just read jlg's thumbs-down review of the same pattern. Now I'm really confused! 7/10/04 8:49 AM
Doris Stewart said... . . . and I bought the pattern for the dress; now I will have to make the top. It is so hard to find a tank that does all of this. Thanks for the review. 7/10/04 9:57 AM
Hilary said... As always, its simple, yet beautiful, Gigi! I love the ruffle, thanks for the tips-I would love to try this too! 7/10/04 11:20 AM
mudcat said... Nice touch with the white elastic and bow. 7/10/04 11:45 AM
Danvillegirl said... Good review. Sounds like a nice tank top, worth considering. 7/10/04 7:04 PM
Debbie Cook said... So, it's NOT as low-cut as the model photo? Good to know! Great top! I like the b/w and the trim. Very crisp looking. 7/10/04 11:51 PM
AnneM said... I haven't seen this pattern before. I really like the included dress, with the gather in the front. Very cute. Nice look for your top, also. 7/11/04 7:57 AM
JDpenelope said... This is a beautiful top and helpful review. Like AnneM, I'm attracted to the dress. If I decide to try it, I will carefully study your review and jlg's for insight. 7/11/04 8:29 AM
kbrock said... Great tank Gigi! I have made up the tank dress and agree with you, it covers everything. My DH says the tank dress is the best thing I made this summer - suppose I should stop messing around and get a review posted. 7/12/04 11:13 AM
Claudia Resch said... It's nice to see an alternative review - in the other that didn't like it I thought the view E was great - and $12 is not too much for such a basic pattern if it's as flattering as this one seems to be. 7/12/04 6:50 PM
Katharine in BXL said... I *love* the ruffled elastic! So creative! I never thought of ruffled elastic for anything but wrinkly-edge panties that show under clothes :) LOVE IT! Thanks for the tip on sewing in the flat, and in what ratio to apply. That is a big help :) 6/22/05 6:55 AM
Leora said... Okay. It took me a minute but now I understand how sewing it flat is done. Thank you! 9/3/05 1:12 PM
