Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Decided to make the vintage bathing suit. Used the extra mesh to make a wrap. Added elastic around the leg but it made it a little tight. I also skipped the clasps and just did ties. I added the mesh to the bodice on top of the base fabric so it wouldn’t be see-through.
Material Notes
Basic black swim fabric ( I can't remember the exact blend) A gorgeous stretchy mesh for bodice Clear elastic

Kudos to you for actually being able to finish this garment. I tried and tried, but it drove me crazy and now is sitting in my frog pile (rip it…rip it).
