But alas, fashion has marched on a couple steps since the twist craze, unfortunately. <br /><br />I have a twist maternity dress to wear for another 10-12 weeks, and two postpartum twist designs in planning because the bunch of fabic camouflages the fourth trimester of pg. Ironically I was just thinking this week if you had made the famous NL knit dress with a front twist overlay because it looks flattering on pears and/or tummy curves, and knit dresses are right up yur alley.Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355680090132670030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-22738677655454776682011-06-05T21:15:16.866-04:002011-06-05T21:15:16.866-04:00Cute top.

I don't have a problem with the front (VS Wonderbra takes care of that!) but I do have a lot of gaping in the upper back near the neck so I ended up pinching a bit out of that area. When I was cleaning houses I went to the Goodwill and bought a bunch of men's XL T-shirts, whacked them apart and made new workshirts for myself with this pattern. Very comfortable for a sweaty job!laurahttp://sewatsea.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-5865004697744685312011-06-03T16:05:19.147-04:002011-06-03T16:05:19.147-04:00I keep thinking I should make a twist top.

I finally took one entire afternoon & a pile of regular bras that slid off my shoulders; I detached the straps from where they attach to the bra band in back, scooted each strap toward the center back about an inch & reattached.
