A Beautifully Modest Swimsuit!
"Unaffected modesty is
the sweetest charm of female excellence,
the richest gem in the diadem of her honor."
~Webster's Dictionary 1828

Growing up in a family of four daughters, modesty has always been a hot topic! We wanted to be able to enjoy water sports unhindered, and still be dressed in a way that would be honoring to the Lord and the men around us. We were tired of piecing things together and layering shorts or t-shirts over a swimsuit which ended up feeling bulky and unattractive. Why don't stores offer more options for women to cover up? We knew we weren't the only ones looking for an alternative. Whether their reasons were for sun protection, modesty, or covering up a scar left from a recent surgery, women are searching for more options! We saw a great need for modest swimwear, a swimsuit that would be safe in the water and also beautiful and stylish!
We wanted something that was not only modest, but pretty and feminine as well. I chose spandex fabric because it is light-weight, stretchy, and safest in the water. After many adjustments, we finally had a bathing suit that was stylish and comfortable to swim in!
We had created this design for our own personal use, but when many ladies began asking where they could buy these swimsuits for themselves, we decided to offer our design to others who were seeking an alternative. At that time I had graduated from homeschool high school and was seeking the Lord's will for the future. My Mom encouraged me to start producing the pattern, and the Lord opened the doors and made it possible! Finally, it was ready, and we were very excited to make it available to others who are looking for an alternative.
It is my prayer that many people would be blessed by this design. May God be glorified by the way we dress!
