Hi -- I go to church with a young lady who began quite a successful online business several years ago, sewing and selling modest swimwear. She also sells the patterns for her designs, as well as a few swimwear fabrics.

I'm not a customer and she did not ask me to promote her business, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone here is interested.

Here's the web page link:

They are very pretty. I haven't worn a bathing suit in years, but I wouldn't mind wearing one of these. Thanks for posting.

I use a tablet for browsing, that website is frustrating to use. I sent her a comment. Online shoppers need to see what they are looking at without needing to click multiple times to view the product.
The Web site design aside, her products look interesting but not something I would wear.

ETA - she has some nice swimwear fabrics !

I'm not needing to click multiple times from my computer, so maybe it's something to do with tablets? I don't use one, so I can't quite relate -- but sorry this happened.

Interesting. One nice thing is that you could wear this at a resort, and go from water to restaurant with just a little drying time.

The fabrics she has are a lot of fun! I'm really tempted to get the Peacock, except I don't plan on making a bathing suit.

With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.

Those are nice designs and meet a real need for people not comfortable in what is sold in stores. Thanks for sharing.

A very talented lady! And you are a very kind friend, to share her business in a suitable place like this.

Like some others have mentioned, I too think her fabric is lovely! I'm tempted to buy some, though I hadn't heretofore had plans to sew a swimsuit.

Thanks! That's very kind of you to say. She is indeed a very talented lady. She's also a gifted musician and a sweet person. I don't know her very well (I'm more the age of her parents), but I'm very pleased to be able to share her website with people here.

Thank you for sharing. I've been looking for a more modest swimsuit pattern.

I was expecting to see some Land's End style skirted suits and maybe boy shorts and tankinis. I've never seen a bathing suit like this here in California. Different strokes for different folks!
