Description

I got there in the end with this one! The instructions were not very complete which made it difficult for a novice like me.

I was keen to try this one as I haven’t had got any costumes that still fit me and this seemed like a flattering shape for someone that has given birth!

The body was also a little bit short for me because I am fairly tall so I had to make the strap a little bit shorter to try and stretch it.

Apart from that, I am pleased with the way that it has turned out and am going to try another with a few adaptions.

    Beautiful work and it looks wonderful on you. I’ve been dying to make this one myself and you’re inspiring me to give it a go. Very professional job- would never guessed it wasn’t purchased in the swimwear section of a fancy department store.

    Looks like you did a great job on it! fabric suits it well. A bathing suit has been my toughest tackle as well when trying to sew items for the wife.

    The fabric is great! This makes me want to try the alison again (I had to give up because the body was too short and I ran out of fabric…)
