She Cuts Two Pieces Of Fabric Exactly Alike For A Retro Look You Must Have!

I’m totally convinced that all of the old styles have come back around and they are much more flattering than what we’ve seen in the recent past. I love the retro look so this DIY project was right up my alley and I didn’t hesitate to jump right in and make this!

The moment I saw this amazing tutorial had to make this! It’s the perfect swimsuit: good coverage, flattering and with that retro vibe I love. I’m a curvy girl, so swimsuits aren’t my favorite thing to wear, but this one is an exception.

I was looking at old 1940s swimwear photos and was like, “Yeah, I could totally make a bathing suit”. Okay, so I’ve never actually made one before, but hey, it can’t hurt to try.

Instead of less being more, it’s definitely the other way around. I think the old saying about leaving more to the imagination is right on point. Just like the old movies. They left more to the imagination and were a lot scarier without revealing everything, right?

Seriously, if you want to feel like beautiful while enjoying the beach, try it. I was a bit scared since was my first time working with spandex, but instructions are very detailed and everything went smoothly.
