Man I find shopping for a swimsuit a daunting task. As a fit woman in my early 30’s, I’m sort of in between styles. I can pull of a bikini, but should I? To a child’s birthday party? To a casual get-together with friends? But one pieces seem a little stodgy and designed for women that wish for some measure of cover-up. This website seems to have a huge assortment, though, so I’m stoked to do some browsing.
My life changed for the better when I got a really awesome vintage-styled one-piece. I might be an extrovert, but as a Seattleite who’s used to being covered in layers 9 months out of the year, I’m surprisingly modest… and finding a one piece that was full-coverage but stylin’ marked the first time I’ve EVER felt comfortable in a suit.
This reminds me, I came across something through Makezine today that led to a tutorial on sewing your own swimsuit that I really, really want to try: http://www.oneaviandaemon.com/?p=444.
Why? Because, well, if I make it and it turns out halfway decent-looking, maybe I’ll make more of an effort to wear it. And, if it turns out not looking like a four-year-old made it (no offense meant to four-year-olds, but I know that my sewing skills weren’t what they are now at that time), I can tell everyone that I did it and feel like I have skills. I’m not the best seamstress, but I love a challenge. I thought I’d also share in case there are some crafty seamstress people who have been waiting until the summer is almost over to get started on a swimsuit. 😉
