I've been planning to make a bathingsuit in a 40s fashion, but I can't fint any good patterns or advice on what to think about, for examples how to make the seams in the legs and armhole to fit wirhout turning loose when wet...I think elastic is the way to go but..well, im not sure... :)<br /><br />Have you ever made you own bathingsuit?
