the finished body of the Tube tobe at a min needs to be 5 in long to cover your boobs. I like to use 1 in elastic at the top. and then 1/2 in elastic on the bottom. I take t shirts and I cut out a from under the arms and then down 8 inch downt he body of the shirt and cut accross there. Then I make a casing on the top that is 1 1/4 inches and then at the bottom on that is 3/4 inches. Insert the elastic and gather it up. Some of my gals like it tight fitting so I have to take in the sides. They dont like the gathers. But they want the print from the t shirt in the front. The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
