Maybe I had it confused with the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballet-t-shirt" rel="nofollow">Ballet T-shirt</a>, which I don't like. But I love the one you listed and am adding it to my faves even as I type. And yea, if it has sleeves it isn't a tank. But I was finding it really hard to find things within my super picky parameters and decided I was willing to compromise on small sleeves, if nothing else. ;-) How is it that I’ve never noticed Ballet?

LOVE IT! Quite a number of people have put a different design on there - I know you're not a knitter but I wish you were on Ravelry just so you could see them. :-) Someone did the old school bluebird/swallow tattoo; a couple stars, a heart, and - ooo! My favorite has hers up <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/96669696@N00/64546465" rel="nofollow">on Flickr</a>! HAHAHAHAH! LOVE IT!

I like the width of the straps, the bodice, and although I'm not fond of the lower pattern either, you did say it could be changed. If you did decide to do Mudflap Girl, I would like to suggest you use the <a href="http://www.feministing.com/" rel="nofollow">Feministing</a> logo instead. I really like Lillian.

I don't think the pattern works with shorter straps or a smaller neckline, which is what a lot of the people on Ravelry have done. I can scan and email a copy of the schematic if you want.

I've been wanting to do those myself. Maybe it should be a KAL. ;-) I was torn between Pucker and Buttercup. I’ve been wanting to do those myself. Maybe it should be a KAL. ;-)

I HATED THOSE TANK TOPS. They always looked like they were on backwards and it just really drove me nuts. And yea, looks like it's going to be Buttercup! Build me up!

I voted for Pucker and Buttercup -- really cute! I was hoping for Lillian to win (it's my late grandma's name) but not so much, I'm afraid. And I got hot just looking at the cables. My brain saw cables and said cables! wool! hot! and wouldn't shut up. To be honest, Mud Flap Girl just frightened me. I think it's the way the straps are designed. Looks to me like you might be making Buttercup -- and I'll be singing that song all day now. Gaaaah! it ate my first comment because I forgot the captcha!
