Despite printing the pattern twice, the pattern did not print straight. I have not stuck the 18 pages together yet to see how misaligned the pattern is, but already i can see the pattern piece at the top of the page is missing about ½ inch. The instructions printed out aligned and straight. So slightly disappointing.

LOVE
As a beginner sewist, this pattern is perfect! The instructions are very clear and lots of the concepts are great learning opportunities (top stitching, sewing a button). I've already made one top and am currently working on another :)

So stinkin cute
This is the cutest and simplest tank I've ever made, I've made multiple of these and made them all a little different! The instructions are easy to follow. I lengthened the body by 1", it's still slightly cropped on my average length 5'6" torso (super flattering with high waisted shorts). The open back is just enough sexy without being showy.
