my hunky beefcake of a man and i celebrated with his family at their house on the river eating bbq and drinking beer. i celebrated by making this new swimsuit!
*thank you clarissa!
those colors might run, the ribbon was kinda cheap.
red, white and blue baby!
i used mccalls 2272, which isn't vintage but view d really had that look to it... you know, that look of potential to be something amazing?
uh, like this?
for the bottom i just traced a pair of panties i have (so my cheeks wouldn't be too exposed) and then added like, 8 inches to the top! the skirt is attached to the 'panty part' but it wasn't until after they were together that i noticed this:
uuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
the most crooked line of all time. i don't think anyone would say anything about it, because when it's on it just looks like i need to do some sit ups really bad. which i do, but not to this extent! the fact that i know it's there drives me crazy though.
aside from that, the only other snag i hit was the fact that i decided to (god knows why) NOT include a zipper. this is a wiggle in, wiggle out suit, which would be fine except when it's wet it's impossible, and when i have to pee it takes WAY too long to get outta there! lesson learned. big time.
so aside from that, i also made this dress last week--
omg!
sorry for the cheesy photos, i don't know where my tripod is :(there is more on that and other randomness on my blog
