Taken from the episode. I needed a new top for the weekly BBQ/munch so I whipped this up. I wasn't sure how it'd look on me since I'm a bigger gal with a rather large...personality. Yesyes, that's what we'll call it. Here's now it turned out. I also made the skirt from about a half yard of fabric or less. The patch is from the band Condenada (http://www.myspace.com/condenada) and you should check them out. Everyone knows The Casualties (and they suck live, sorry. Support your local scene instead.)


My personality isn't being held up by a bra, so please excuse the sag.

I guess I just kinda wanted to take a photo in my bathtub....

Notes on construction: The back hem and bottom hem is nonexistant. I'm not terribly worried about curling because I don't do laundry often and I'll try to dry it outside this summer anyway. The strap is a length of bias tape that was too thin for me to work with successfully. The fit isn't very good so I think it needs darts...as does everything I make for a top because my personality is 4 inches larger in circumference than my ribcage.

cute, but is your personality based on your chest, I'm confused?

my bikini top was drying off on the shower curtain bar; nothing to do with confidence. XD

I made the same thing like a half hour before a concert... Worked out fine, just instead of clipping off the bottom hem, I instead too the scrap fabric from the back and cut into two long strips, sewed them together and zig zaged down the entire strip =D That way I didn't need to worry about curling
