Beach-bop-alooza: Be his (or her) baby in these bathing beauties. June 16, 2014 17:38 2 Comments
Love this one!
Ahhh, alliteration. I'm so easily amused.
Now to the subject at hand: swimsuits!
A cotton lace cover-up is perfect for this style, McCall's 7295, copyright 1964. Or you could be practical and go with terrycloth.
For those days when you're feeling modest . . .
Having a puffy day? Then McCall's 7306 may make you feel more comfortable in the public eye. But you're not insecure, are you? This is a fabu suit for anyone!
The djellaba is irresistible.
McCall's 8736 may be my personal favorite. And we have it in two sizes! This one is from 1967, but, really, it's timeless.
For the baby doll fans among you.
Vogue 7816 could also be a fetching maternity suit.
So, there ya go. Lots of choices. All available at The Blue Gardenia, where we offer patterns for even the snootiest fashionistas!

I am impressed with anyone who can sew their own swimsuits. Cover-ups are definitely more my speed.

I don’t see myself making a swimsuit either. I should do a cover-up. I always shower at the gym after swimming. It would be nice to just throw on a terry cover-up afterward instead of putting clean clothes on my damp body.
