Ottobre Woman Modified Tank
Ottobre Woman Spring/Summer 2007 #1 made form butermilk from EmmaOneSock. I modified the tank to a Boob style nursing top, the FOE under the bust marks the edge of the overlayer which pulls up, the underlayer pulls down and the baby can get fed without exposing my tummy to the world so everyone's happy :) This was the second attempt at modifying, I lengthened the underlayer on this one so it starts just under the armscye, curved the overlayer up 1.5" towards the side seam (looks much nicer this way than straight across!) and seriously tightened both the elastic on the underlayer (at the top to keep it up over my chest) and the FOE on the overlayer. The whole tank is also lengthened by 1.5" and sewn with a narrow hem.
I'm not thrilled by the fit, mainly I think because my FOE is tighter than a self binding would have been which is creating more than a few puckers. It's a nice top though and it fits much better than the RTW nursing tops I've been living in for 9 months so I'll be whipping up a few more :) I'll give the T pattern the same treatment now I know where to cut the under/over layer pieces but for now I need sleeveless, it's so hot here lately!
