Description

The Seabright Swimmer is a one-piece swimsuit pattern that can be made with or without sleeves. It features a plunging neckline with gathering at the shoulder and waist. The instructions include a tutorial for adding a lace up neckline closure for added modesty. The sleeves let you look and feel glam while providing a bit of added sun protection!

Suggested Fabrics

You will need a fabric with 4 way stretch and at least 50% crosswise stretch. Keep in mind that your suit will be stretching both around your body and down it, so if your fabric doesn’t have 4 way stretch the it won't fit correctly. If you are making this as a swimsuit, you will need swim lycra. If you are making this as a body suit, any knit will do as long as it meets stretch requirements. You can use the same fabric for the outer fabric and lining or get separate lining fabric.

Notions

• 4 yards 1/4" wide elastic
• Thread (polyester thread is good for sewing with knits because it has some give)
• 2, 3/4” D-Rings for an optional lace up front closure (optional)
• Soft foam cups (optional)
