   *Hi everyone, I used the stay tape I had on hand and it worked beautifully. Sewed 2 Milano Ts last friday night.

   *Heather,How does the Milano T differ from other t-shirt type patterns you may have tried? I like the look of it, but I would have to enlarge it as I am bigger than their extra-large. Would it be worth it -- is it exceptionally well-cut? TIA, Sue W.

   *Would be interested to know what a Milano T is and where could I see one. Is it more stylish than an ordinary T-Shirt?

   *Susan, I think it is exceptionally well cut. I have used other t shirt patterns and found them shapeless, even though the basic styling is the same. I used incorporated 3 different sizes into 1 pattern for myself. I am a bit curvey at the waist and wide at the hip so I adjusted the side seam to follow the lines I needed. Also when I laid the pattern on the material, both back & front on fold) I set the pattern about 1cm in from the edge (but only from the waist down) to get an additional 2cm into the width -back and front. It is very easy to sew and the overall impression of the final product is one of a very expensive t shirt.

   *Maritje, it is more stylish than an ordinary "t". I used two different types of knit, a single knit and a heavier velour/moleskin type, and they both had the same excellent fit. I just really feel comfy wearing them.
