The first was a muslin made with 4 way stretch (not pictured) and it was way too big.
The navy stripe is a 2 way knit from my stash (probably a good chance it came from the $1/yd rack at wally world) and it fit great. If you look at the pattern, you'll notice this version isn't on there. I used view A, with the following mods:
-made sleeves 3/4 length
-added a 18"×22" rectangle of fabric to the bottom
-underlined the top pieces because I didn't feel like top stitching it all
The aqua version (fabric from GirlCharlee) mods:
-omitted sleeves and scooped out the armscye to make more tank like
-finished the arm holes with a band serged on
-extended back piece to 32" & curved out to accommodate hips & booty
-extended one front piece to 30"
