The part that bothers me is the slight rippling over the midriff. Can you get rid of that?</p> <p>Great top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957670 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:36:40 +0000 Raisin 957670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!</p> <p>Yah, I need a bit of practice. &nbsp;I do everything by hand these days because I can't remember how to thread the machine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957665 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:34:28 +0000 lyn* 957665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had so few sewing skills I was asked to leave Home Ec class... so if I can do it, I'm sure you can too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957664 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:32:50 +0000 Raisin 957664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, I'm picturing you punching a sewing machine, that would be funny!</p> <p>Yes I have a super old one too, and MUCH less complicated than the fancy new ones. &nbsp;But I have almost zero sewing skills now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957660 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:28:20 +0000 lyn* 957660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bestow my "skills" onto this machine. I swear it's the easiest to use sewing machine. My mom has one of those expensive ones and it makes me want to punch it.</p> <p>My little $60 machine has saved me at least 3 fold in alterations. I can take a tiny nip tuck in my skirts if I feel like it at 1 am if I want and can wear it the next day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957657 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:25:50 +0000 Raisin 957657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, still better then I would have done! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957654 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:24:52 +0000 lyn* 957654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took it in about 3-4" total I took it in 1" at the sides initially (pic 1) but it was still a sack.</p> <p>I didn't think you wanted to see a pic with me wearing a sack :p so I didn't take a before. </p> <p>Thanks Rae - I just sewed in a straight line.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957653 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:23:21 +0000 Raisin 957653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great both ways. &nbsp;Did you already alter this? &nbsp;This cannot be XL in pic 2 and 3. &nbsp;Kudos to you for your super sewing skills! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-only-xl-is-left-on-the-rack#post-957651 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:21:01 +0000 lyn* 957651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time to bring out the sewing machine!!!</p> <p>Do we like this top as a peplum? I think the peplum is too long and looks weird.</p> <p>I bought it to wear tucked in (pic 3) where the peplum isn't a problem. </p> <p>I can either shorten the peplum or cut it off entirely (crop top) or leave it as is and tuck. </p> <p>Any thoughts or suggestions? </p>
