Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This new design is my super flattering tummy slimming swimsuit.
Wear it folded down for a skirted bottom look.
Wear it scrunched up for a high waisted retro look.
Or…
Wear it all the way up for a one piece bathing suit look.
Because sometimes you want coverage, and sometimes you don’t!

This is so cute! Ive wanted to make a sheath swimsuit for a while, but I didnt want to give up the option of a bikini. This is a great solution :D

I’ve been wanting to make myself a suit….this one is totally HOT. I’m with everyone else that would make one if you made a pattern available.

Amazing! The colour is so great. I’d love to make a swimsuit, but I’ve heard that sewing stretchy fabric is rather difficult.

Thanks. It’s taken a lot of practice to get it right. My daughter and I share all my “flubs”

Oooh, neat idea… Never thought of making a bathing suit before, but I would make an exception for this one!

Please, please, please make a pattern available!!! This is brilliant — and so are you for creating it :) My daughters and I have been searching for a retro vibe bathing suit pattern.
