I was out swimsuit shopping with Jaelyn and ran across this swimsuit. I tried it on and fell in LOVE.
Pattern Sizing: XS-XL. I made the medium
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I LOVE how straight forward Kwik Sew directions are. LOVE them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved how this pattern was an exact match to the swimsuit I fell in love with lol, for a fraction of the cost!
Fabric Used:Spandex Lycra from Gail K Fabrics
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I HIGHLY recommend this pattern! I think I MIGHT make this one again in a solid!
Conclusion: Great pattern!
I however was NOT in love with the price tag. Over a hundred bucks for a swimsuit? Child PLEASE!!!!
I made this to wear to Destin a couple weeks ago and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

Wow! Your suit looks great. I was just thinking of sketching a design for a modest suit for myself and daughter. You are my inspiration of the day! Thanks!

Great looking swimsuit at a fraction of the RTW cost.

Great job Adrienne! Love the swimsuit and now I'm going to try one. I wouldn't pay $130. for anything that has 1 yard or less of fabric!!!

Great swimsuit. You can have several and then some for $130!

Your swimsuit looks better than the one at the store and at the fraction of the cost.

Great job and I agree with Gold, it looks exactly like the one in the store.. Isn't great when you can sew you get to keep most of your money in your pocket.

When I first saw this (when you made it) I didn't notice the bodice details. I love it all over again. And yes, you should make several more:)
