With all my sewing time taken up with the wedding dress, I actually went shopping for clothes after Christmas because I haven't been able to sew anything. Not only was I promptly reminded of all the benefits of sewing (ie - properly fitting clothes!) it was a big realisation on how far I've come in my own perception of myself. It got me down! But hey. It's posts like this that make me smile... and want to sew a swim suit!!! poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235536061632426604.post-42054195090470491402014-01-08T16:19:26.248+11:002014-01-08T16:19:26.248+11:00The swimsuit looks gorgeous on you!!

Where else can you get a top that is a 14 all around but the length of a 12 and arms in a 16.

I think partly it's because you work on getting the fit right on you, not comparing yourself to mannequins in stores etc. Hmm, I might need to track down a copy of that pattern.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545965949294513334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235536061632426604.post-11380179661783409022014-01-07T07:14:17.165+11:002014-01-07T07:14:17.165+11:00Perfectly stylish and what a great fit.

I've got a similar pair of black jets bathers that I've worn to death, but really wasn't convinced of when my mum bought them for me (clearly many years ago). It's such a classy and flattering style. Lucky find by your mum.<br /><br />Being able to sew is such a confidence booster, no more off-limits styles and feeling rubbish in stores. Honestly I don't know why more people don't do it! There's a gorgeous girl I work with, and she wears so many dresses as tops as she's tall. It's really frustrating for her, and yet would be so easy to lengthen some of the styles she wears. RTW really is madness.sarahphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324827556280014984noreply@blogger.com
