I'm pretty set on sewing myself a bathing suit (or three) this year. I'm leaning towards vintage patterns because they seem to have more interesting details.
The variations in this 1970s patterns are so cute, and I like that the pattern includes one-piece and two-piece suits.
Or there's this mod striped suit.
This McCall pattern is definitely more modern, but I think the halter top has a vintage feel. I could turn it into a pretty sweet one-piece. At $8 this is the pattern I'm sort of leaning towards.
And this pattern is more impractical. I love the ruching on the sides, but I know it will make the suit heavy in the water. But couldn't you just see it in navy with red trim? Lots of vintage bathing suit patterns tend to include a coat pattern as well, counterintuitive though it may be.
