Description
For all of you, who wanted to know, how the Cindy Bathing-Suit looks like on a curvier woman…. now you know. The suit in ocean-blue proofed to be wave-resistant at the beach of Daytona. It was fun to make this bathing-suit, however, the instructions were not always very clear. I had problems to find out, where to add the straps and besides I have so much fabric left, I could easily make a new suit…
Material Notes
Polyester with lots of spandex.

It turned out fantastic! I really want to make this, but I’m stick-thin and not sure it would be too flattering on me, considering it didn’t look that great on the thin model…

Amazing! I didn’t look twice at this Burda pattern and when I saw your project pop up I was like, “What pattern is that?” But WOW! You look fantastic. This is much more flattering on curvy ladies and I’m glad I checked this out, I’d love to make one for myself, thanks so much for being brave number 1 and taking photos of it on and in “action” :) Super, great, fantastic!

No offense to the burda model, but this looks a million times better on you! It’s gorgeous, and I hated it when I saw it on their model!

It looks stunning! You have inspired me to try this pattern out, I’m not feeling very confident post pregnant for a bikini this summer!

Beautiful colour, I kinda thought that the pattern would suit a more womanly figure. It looks amazing on you! Burda does use super skinny models, how stick like are the legs for this weeks tights pattern!?

I’d be careful what you say about the skinniness of models. I was throughly bashed for making a similar statement. Apparently skinny people are discriminated against alot????

Looks way better on the curves. I wondered when I saw the model pics why they would do that since that style and that body just did not go together.

You look gorgeous in this suit! And I’M SURE CURVY WOMEN LOOK BETTER IN THIS THAT BURDA STICK MODEL! I’t simply shows off your great body shape. And now I know I might try it too, cause at first I was unsure. BTW Thanks:)

I really like this – and I think you look better in it than the stick model they used… you have a lovely figure and this bathing suit really shows it off nicely!!!
