I'm really happy with it! It's tight enough to show I have a body, but not uncomfortable. My only issue was with the side zipper. I bought a 12 inch zipper as instructed on the envelope. However, in the size I made (a zero) I had barely over 12 inches between armpit and hem. This left like no space to fold a hem and no space at the top. As a result, the zipper rubbed my armpit all day. I ended up breaking into the first aid kit, taking some gauze, and stuffing it in my armpit. It worked! But definitely not a long term solution. I think I'm going to hand sew in a little flap or something to cover the zipper. Still wearable, and I'm still very happy with it. If I were to make this again (which I may) I would lengthen it, which I think would look better and would fix my zipper issue.
Overall, I give it an A-, maybe a solid A if I resolve the zipper rubbing.

Your top looks fabulous on you!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the little contrast collar. I've had that zipper problem before; a tab at the top should solve it. It's so annoying though!
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear about your mom. That sounds pretty devastating. Best wishes on your new adventures.
