Every year it's the same. I struggle all summer looking for the perfect bathing suit. Figure flattering, while bust covering, while looking unique. If it fits, it's boring. If it's unique or cute it doesn't fit. Every year I debate whether or not to try sewing my own. I think this year might be the one. I've always wanted to try my hand at the bikini Kate Hudson wore in You Me and Dupree (above). I've seen similar ones but they all look slightly different. Mostly, they come to more of a small line in the middle rather than a diamond shape.
I've never found anything exactly like it.
Are you thinking of maybe sewing your own swimsuit this season too? Here are some free online patterns to help you get started. If none of these are to your liking you can always try altering or embellishing them to suit your needs.

Great roundup! I'm hosting a Swimwear Sewalong. I'm going to share your roundup with the Swimalong. :)
Brilliant! I hate trying to find swimsuits. This will definitely come in handy! Thanks!
Is the bathing suit in this tutorial what you're looking for?

Is anyone else having trouble with the Pattern School website??? It's just a blank page when I go there!

Yes! I'd been using hat site for ages (looking at the dress form tutorial which is awesome) but it seems to have disappeared. Very sad face.
