These are good looking outfits. Hope they keep you warm even during "yard sales". Three attractive young ladies wearing them too.

Thank you for your review.(I requested it.) I'm so glad you reviewed both pieces. I just sent the long johns to my DDIL in MN and she reported that they fit well and are very comfortable. I made them out of a gridded Powerstretch from Fabricline. I think the stretch was 75% and the fit was snug but good. I used the pattern measurements. I think the seam placement is really well designed. I'm curious about what kind of seam finish you used. I used a flatlock for smoothness, but I'm wondering whether that's necessary. BTW, your and your girls certainly are good models.

These look great! I love the lines of the tops -- very flattering to all of you.

Very cute outfits. I just ordered some powerstretch; I don't know if it is thick or thing, though! Oh well. This sounds like a very useful design.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Being new here to PR, it is such a learning experience. Cornelia, I too think the seams are well designed for both pieces. I wish I could do a decent flatlock with my serger but I just used a 4 stitch overlock and coverstitched the hems. Further stitching with a narrow zig-zag made the seams ripple (ask me how I know). Now on to the socks!!

Gorgeous models, and beautiful clothes. So stylish! So well executed! Thanks for reviewing--if it gets any colder here, I'm going to buy. Hope you stay away from those yard sales with these on.
