There is 1 bathing suit that looks just like this (retro). I bought it thinking to lengthen as short (or longer) summer dress. Your suit is tremendous. On a light note, I tell my artist son about the sewing blogs, etc. Once I said, Peter made a dress for Cathy (and was about to explain more). He said -he made a dress for you (and was quite impressed).
