Easy to sew, beautiful instructions. I made borh swimsuit and bikini. Both turned out well fitting!
Only thing...all those pdf's to assemble.
I absolutely LOVE this pattern and cannot thank Megan enough for creating such a simple, classic, and empowering design! I made the original Cottesloe bikini last summer and I am looking forward to making the Curve one-piece next. I'm waiting on the pdf layering update before I cut out, re-measure, etc. - I'm hoping that happens soon, and in the meantime I can get more lovely swim fabric!
This is a great pattern. My client was struggling to find a top that fit her and looked cute! Brava. I'll be keeping this in my collections.
This is a beautifully conceived and designed pattern with lots of options. I decided for the curve pattern as I wanted to make sure I had enough coverage. The online tutorial was very helpful alongside the normal instructions and gave lots of extra help and tips. The only thing I would change next time as far as fitting is concerned is take in a dart in the pattern on the back between the crutch and the leg as this is a bit saggy on me (flat bum!). I made version A with the shelf bra, ties and fully lined. My only criticism of the instructions is that it was not easy to figure out how to put the ties when using lining and shelf bra, but I got there in the end. I am very happy with the result and will make it again. In fact I am wearing it as I type.
This is the swimsuit of my dreams!! Just a simple well fitting one piece. Thank you so so much for making this. (I made 3 ;)
