hmm. the strawberry coverup wasn't even her own design, as she said so herself. rae hoekstra deserves the credit.

I was kinda disappointed by the winners. There were some I thought were more imaginative .

dissapointed...

Uuu singer team! You should be ashamed!!! You said that this contest is open to everyone BUT who's the winner???!!! Graphic designer from USA. The rest I can easily assume are americans too. SOrry but you can see that even 'size matter' isn't clear...and you seem to be partial!

I love all the entries, and I was also very inspired checking out the contest flickr group. As for the winning photos: I am not a slender woman, in fact I'm quite the curvaceous gal. And I think that the Strawberry Cover-Up by mammasweettater and the Cover Up by FourteenCherrySt would both look really cute on my xl buxom frame. Even tho the women modeling the second one is not at all like me! That's why I like sewing so much, because I can customize things to flatter me.

Hmm.. I'm little shocked with the winner and runners up! I have seen before all entries, and I had my favourites. I think that there were many more interesting creations... What were the criteria of choose?

Oh yes, I agree. And curious why these 'creations' won??!!

These are all really cute cover-ups, but I was looking at the submissions and I can't help but notice that all the runners up are all pretty slender women - would've been nice to have a little bit more diversity in body type.

The cover-ups are cute! That's a great point you make Katrina. The contest was open to everyone so anyone/any size could have made a cover-up and uploaded it to the flickr pool.
