    I have gone my whole life (37 years) and never had a swimsuit. Because of my size I never felt confident enough. But this is my year and because of you I will be making and wearing my first swimsuit (with coordinating cover-up LOL!!!). Thank you so much.

    Vintage look... So CUTE! The high waist is tastefully modest. Both looks are adorable.

    OMG, great job mimi. Never thought of sewing my own swimwear. Great job on these modest suite, love the mix of the polka-dots and stripes in the second look.

    I wish I could buy one, I don't have a sewing machine and haven't used one in about 20 years.
