This is a fabulous pattern that was a reasonably easy make and came just in time for my pacific island holiday. I didn't find the waist elastic method for the bottoms worked for me at all (you only attach it along the top edge, but for me it kept flipping up) so I ended up stitching it down. Still looks great, would absolutely recommend this pattern for great wireless support.

I started it a couple months back. Not finished. When I tried the top on the cups looked way too small. I plan to finish it (put the band on) and try on again. I have made lots of williwdale bras and probably made the same size

Loved you capsule wardrobe you looked stunning and enjoyed that you said you made several things wrong but it still looked Great. I am 78 and have been sewing since before High school. I make a mistake in everything I make again only I know.

I have spent seven years and four kids in search of a swimsuit that is 1) supportive, 2) breastfeeding friendly, 3) conservative and comfortable enough to chase boys all day. This is it! The clasp closure makes it easy to feed the baby. The bra base makes it comfortable and supportive. Pair it with the Wickham skirt and the Bonair top and I won’t be flashing anyone at the beach. I live in this swimsuit.

The fit is amazing... ! Right out of the box! I think mainly because the bust is supported by the well designed loftus engineering. The racer back design is also thoughtfully designed to hide back fluff... at least it worked with me. The bottoms (I made the higher rise) are comfortable and secure. After the first child, vogue could no longer help me with bathing suits and after many, many years cashmerette comes along and designs suits with structure, support and comfort. Well done, Ms. Rushmore!

I have only made the top, so only reviewing that here. The fit and support and security of this top are amazing. This is hands down the best swim top I've ever made or owned. Detailed instructions walk you through the detailed process. I felt cute and confident and well supported in this over many many hours in the water and on the beach. I like the look and fit adjustment of the tie front. It does look bumpy if wearing under a rashguard.

I love all my cashmerette patterns. They are so fun and made just for my plus boobs!!

I made this in a 38H and was really sceptical about the amount of support it could actually give. But boy was I wrong! The fit is incredible and the suit is so comfortable. I haven’t tested it in the water yet but it feels super secure so I’m not worried about any wardrobe malfunctions! Thanks Cashmerette for this feat of engineering!

I haven't made the pattern yet but I'm looking forward to making the tankini. I'm an advanced beginner so may need to improve my skills before starting this.

It looks a great pattern but I’ve not made it yet. The uk weather has not inspired me.
I was a little underwhelmed by the kit choices this time.

I’ve just finished my first Marblehead tankini and I love it! For years I’ve worn expensive underwired bikinis and swimsuits and have never enjoyed the fit, comfort or lack of support when wearing them. Despite spending a lot of money on the best available.

The Marblehead is so cleverly designed. The support is amazing and it’s so comfortable. It looks fabulous too. I can’t quite believe how good it is. I can’t wait to make the next one, so I’ll be starting that this afternoon…

The sew along by Whitney is excellent as always. Part way through the bra section she says “trust the pattern”. I definitely got to the stage when I thought , this just isn’t going to work for me, and fit, but it does!

Thank you for designing this for us.
