Design Ideas!

Started doing toile for my design. I wanted to keep the bathing suit quite simple so the knitted tubbing will stand out..

I decided to do a quick patten of my idea to see if I would like it. I used just thin bits of fabric as an example of where the knitted tubbing would go. I liked around the neck line and also over the hips.

I wanted to try and keep the shape of my swimsuit to suit the bathers back in early 1920-1930's swim wear.

Bathers back then for women were to cover the body. A lot of skirts and shorts styles were worn to cover the female form.

Id like to use the knitted tubbing to keep that look and shape.
