very cute! If you remember (or find) the pattern number would you mind sharing it? How did the cotton hold up for swimming? Did you line it at all?

I just moved and the pattern is in a box that I haven’t unpacked yet, but I’ll let you know as soon as I unpack it.
The top has a thin poly swim bra that just holds the shape and the top and the bottom are self-lined.
The cotton stretched out a little when it got wet, so I’m going to move the straps before the next time I wear it but it held up fine.
Thanks for all the comments!
