Simply Modest

Growing up in a family of four daughters, modesty has always been a hot topic at our house!  We desire to please the Lord in the way we dress and not be a stumbling block to others.  We saw a great need especially, for modest swimwear.  We didn't want to lower our standards just because we were swimming.  Yet, we wanted a swimsuit that would be safe in the water and not clumsy.

We searched all over for something that we could wear, and tried all sorts of things! It just wasn't out there! I knew there were many others who were also searching for a modest solution for swimming.

Several years ago, I decided to design one myself. My family and I wanted something that was modest, yet looked feminine. I chose lycra fabric because it is light-weight, stretchy, chlorine treated, and safest in the water. After many adjustments, we finally had a bathing suit that was modest, looked feminine, and was comfortable and easy to swim in!

We have been wearing this swimsuit for the last few years and numerous times have had people ask us where they could buy something similar, or if we knew of a place to buy the pattern, so that they could sew it themselves. We even had a few inquiries from people who weren't interested in modesty, but wanted it for sun protection.

I knew there was a need out there for someone to provide a modest bathing suit pattern, and prayed about the possibility of marketing this pattern some day. When I graduated from home school high school, I was seeking the Lord's will about what I should be doing at this time in my life while I am single and at home. My Mom encouraged me to try marketing the pattern, and the Lord opened the doors and made it possible! Finally, it was ready, and we were very excited to make it available to others who are looking for an alternative.

It is my prayer that many people would be blessed by this pattern. May God be glorified by the way we dress!
