Description

This is a retro-style bathing suit I made from McCall’s 8026, a vintage mens shirt and bathing suit pattern. It has one small side pocket and and elastic sewn into the back waistband. I added a velcro fly and closures instead of a zipper and button. Can’t wait to wear it at the beach!

Material Notes

I used a multi-colored striped cotton seersucker I found in the Garment District in NYC.

      Some countries even women don’t shave… not in my country though. Have you ever tried the London underground? If you didn’t shave your armpits people would suffocate – armpit smell + pollution= slow death. Lol
