Pattern comparison, Lago Tank by Itch to Stitch and Staple Tank by Green Style Creations

My favorite tank I have been wearing is getting old so that I needed to make a new one.

I had the LagoTank pattern prepped sometime ago. I thought it was the perfect time to give this pattern a go!

This pattern is made for 5’ 6” and I am 5’1”. I shorten the pattern by 2.5”.

I took ½’ at the armscye, took 1” a few inches below underarm and another 1” at the line where the pattern says shorten or lengthen.

It was easy to sew, didn’t take long to make at all, but I didn’t like that how bra strap shows, (showing a lot) and also underarm was still too low.

I have to say I was disappointed. I checked on their website to see other people’s makes, but I didn’t see the issue that I was having.

I thought about fixing the pattern, but my bra straps were anywhere near from fabric that I know I have to do major design change of the pattern.

So I decided to try Staple Tank since I have become a big fan of their pattern instead.

I adjusted Staple Tank the same way I did with Lago Tank.

(See picture below)

I think it came out well. This pattern covers bra straps, so yay for me!

Underarm came out slightly lower than I wanted, but not a big deal, I can fix it easily with my next one.

I am very thankful that Itch to Stitch if offering free patterns and I could try it, but I had to say it was not for me.
