Simply Modest

"Just wanted to say thank you for the suits you made. They are so comfortable! We enjoyed them quite a bit this summer...it had been a long time since I enjoyed the water."

Sonia in Granby, Quebec

"The swimsuits arrived last week.  That was speedy!  And they are perfect.  Thank you so, so much.  I'm very grateful for these modest swimsuits, and I hope your business succeeds so that we'll be able to continue to order from you in the future.  God bless."

J.F.

"My swimsuit came and it is beyond GREAT!!!!!  THANK YOU so much for enablig me to enjoy the beach again, while being modest!!!!  I love it!!!!!  Thanx a mill!!!!"

Karna Izzy Blugrind from Los Angeles, CA

"I just had to send you a picture of the suits.  They are soooo comfortable!  I told a few people that I MADE the swimsuits, and they could not believe it!  It sounds like a hard project to tackle, but it was fun and not hard at all!  The pattern was simple and much easier than I thought it might be."

Renita Martin from Virgilina, VA

"I ordered a lovely swimsuit for my daughter last year... It was made of a beautiful shimmery silver material... Everyone who sees it says she looks like a mermaid and when friends come oever, they all want to wear the "mermaid suit".  Thanks!"

Steven & Deborah Watson from Waynesboro, VA

"My swimsuit arrived.  I LOVE IT!!!!  It's so pretty.  It flatters my figure, it's modest enough that I actually WANT to go swimming in public with it, and it's the most comfortable suit I've ever put on... I'm hoping to plan beach party with some friends to show off the suit.   Thank you so much for offering such lovely swimsuits!"

Joi Weaver from Brea, CA

"It's hard to believe it was half of my lifetime ago when I was last at the beach!  Mom made us girls modest swimsuits.  They worked very nicely."

Gracie Thompson

"The girls have really enjoyed them and they got a lot of compliments and questions about them at nursing camp at Pensacola Christian College."

Bayley Thompson (mother)

"Thank you for the bathing suit patterns and nice material.  I am pleased with how mine and my daughter's swimsuits turned out, and my little 7 year old was so excited.  (A little girl in a bikini, at the pool, asked me if I would make her one!)"

Joanna Lovelace

"I just wanted to take the time to thank you for doing such a beautiful job on my daughters swim dress.  It fits her perfect and is so pretty.  She was thrilled!!  May God bless ya'll for having modest clothing available to people that desire it!!"

Charlene Hayes from Hillsville, VA

"Thank you so much for your willingnes to make the swimsuit for me at the last minute.  It looks great.  We are spending our first 5 days in Indonesia at a leadership conference in Bali, and now I'll feel comforable joining my children in the pool!   My daughters just finished designing and sewing their own swimsuits too.  Thank you!"

Rachel Meyer & family, missionaries to Indonesia

"The Brown Paisley swimsuit is absolutely beautiful!  I was looking for a modest swimsuit that wouldn't look goofy or wierd.  I am so wonderfully surprised that this swimsuit is also much more feminine and becoming than any "tradition" suit I have ever worn.  I look forward to playing with my children on the beach next month without feeling either overexposed or encombered by extra clothing.  I believe it will also be a witness to my husband's family who will be meeting us there and are not Christians (yet).  Thanks again.  You're doing a great job!"

Lorna Stierle from Campbellsburg, KY

"I'm so happy.  For the first time in years I feel comfortable in a bathing suit, both from a personal comfort standpoint and being in public.  You girls are doing a great job.  Thanks.  I've already recommened your suits to friends."

Lauren Nusbaum from Thornhill, Ontario

"We received our patterns, ordered material and made our swimsuits in time to go to the lake. Yea!  You know, for the first time ever I felt good in a bathing suit.  My husband didn't say anything about what someone would be seeing.  We made the sleeves to the elbow and the "dresses" to the knee.  I wouldn't wear this length other than for swimming, but how nice it was to be this covered up.  Even my nieces who normally ask why we always wear mid length skirts and dresses, liked the swimsuits.  They didn't like how theirs showed so much and told me I could make them one.  I am going to pray about doing just that before summer is over.  Thank you so much for making these patterns available to us."

Jo El from Mays Landing, NJ

"Wife & mother of five who wants to live and breath the word of God and teach our precious ones to do the same."

"I just wanted to thank you for making such a fantastic swimsuit pattern with is modest but looks great!  My daughters love their swimsuits and their friends think they are really cool.  Finally, we have swimwear that protects us from the sun and we can still have fun!"

Teresa Elmore from Mansfield, AR

"This is a picture of my daughter, Brianna.  We made this swimsuit today, thanks for the plans.  She loves her new suit and so do I!"

Courtney Duffy from Belding, MI

"The swimsuits arrived yesterday.  They are WONDERFUL!  We are thrilled, and I am going to be placing another order for some more, now that we've tried them on.  My girls wore theirs in our pool yesterday and LOVED them, and they looked beautiful.  Thank you so much for making such lovely things for us to swim in, so that we can be modest while we enjoy our pool.  Thank you for all your help; you have been such a blessing!"

Tina Brzostowski from Waipahu, Hawaii 

"I hadn't taken my kids to the public pool in years and now I can.  Woo-hoot!  It has literally been life-changing.  Thank you so much."

Carolyn Boone from Cameron Park, CA

"Thank you very much!  Everybody was pleased with their swimsuit.  I am extrememly excited to get to the beach now. Always before, I just dreaded the heavy denim skirts and trying to find a decent shirt, but now Swimwear Solutions is the answer!  I was very pleased that you were able to do all 3 of ours so quickly!!  We really appreciated your sevices.  I'm sure we will order again because I want the Lime Paisley!!"

Denise Harmon

"I am actually looking forward to hitting the beach now!   I appreciate all your help.  I couldn't have done it in time without your advise!  Your pattern was very easy to follow, the fabric beautiful and your customer service top notch!  We are more than happy to help promote your business."

Tonya Sutton

"I promptly received my pattern.  It is very easy to understand (and I am not a seemstress)."

Amy Sennes from Chanhassen, MN

"I love my suit!  Here are some photos of us."

Lisa & Faith Dunham from Hemet, California

"Thank you so much!  I have to say, I LOVE your swimsuits.  They are more comfortable and easy to swim in than anything else I've ever worn (including before I cared so much about wearing something dignified when I swim).  This is the second one I've ordered from your company, and I recommend you to all my friends."

Alison Hade 

"My daughter and I LOVE the swimsuits!  Now I can't wait to go for a swim.  I've not been in the pool or sea for a long, long time... I'm going to tell my friends about it.  Better still, I'll show them pictures of us at the beach and that will convince them.   Thanks again for your wonderful swim wear... and your ministry too!"

Miiko Gibson from Huntsville, Alabama

"We received our new swimsuits today.  Thay fit well and are very comfortable.  My daughter put hers on and wore it for the rest of the day.  I'm so glad to have a swimsuit that covers me up but is still stylish and very comforablt.  What a blessing!"

Heather Porter

"I received my daughter's swimsuit.  THANK YOU!  It is beautiful.  Very well made."

Tresa Dunnican from Jacksonville, Arizona

"I am excited to make my daughters' swimsuits again for this year.  This is our third year and we never cease to receive compliments on them.  My daughters take swimming lessons during the summer.  I was worried that the girls would look so different that the other kids would make fun of them.  Yet, we knew modesty in swimwear was what the Lord was laying upon our hearts.  Mostly, the other girls think their suits are beautiful.  And even "oooh" and "aaah" over the skirt and the two piece idea.  Thank you so much for your beautiful pattern and commitment to modesty."

Michelle Perdue from Jamesville, Wisconsin

"I have to let you know what a blessing your suits are to us.  My 3 daughters have your suits still from 2 years ago.  On July 3rd we went swimming and I only took towels as we never needed to change back into regular clothes after swimming.  This day we could not swim as a bad storm came on the gulf of Mexico.  We went back home when the weather had cleared some.  When we turned on our street, there were three fire trucks on my property.  My house was a total loss.  We were standing in our swim suits with no shoes in the rain.  I tell you this because my girls had on your suits and they were still modest before the Lord and everyone we had to meet that day.  May God bless you and your work for Him."

Angela Vandervort from Pensacola, Florida

"My 6 year old daughter received her swimsuit today and was so excited to put it on!  God has given you a gift for sewing and I am so glad you are out there putting that gift to use!  The suit is just beautiful!  Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail!  Many, many thanks!  I'm going to recommend this site to all my friends.  As Muslims we dress modestly and you are such a Godsend!  Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and hers!"

Aaliyah Olson from Helotes, Texas

"We received the suit today and my daughter loves it!  Thanks for getting it here so quickly."

Tia Barnes from Brandywine, MD

"I finished my girls swimsuits!  They absolutely love them and will not take them off.  Thank you for a great pattern.  I was nervous, having never sewn a complete garment before, but these turned out great!!"

Mary Koehn from Coquitlam, British Columbia

"I got my suit today.  It's great.  Thanks a bunch.  It's actually prettier than the picture.  :) "

Karen Delano from Lynchburg, Virginia

"I received my swimsuit and it is beautiful.  It fits great!  I lost 125 pounds last year (without surgery! but with a lot of help from God).  I am elated about the weight loss; however, it has left me with a great deal of unsightly loose skin.  Your swim suit design has given me a way to go swimming in public without being embarrassed by all the loose skin.  In fact, in your suit no one can even tell that there is any loose skin at all!  So, not only will I not be embarrassed, but I will actually look nice while swimming.  Thanks to you, I can actually look forward to swimming this summer.  P.S.  My 11-year-old daughter likes the suit so well that she wants one too."

Lois Britsch from New Lebanon, Ohio

"The swimsuit arrived safe and sound, and it fits perfectly.  Thank you very much for your fast and speedy service!"

Dora Kan from Wiltshire, United Kingdom

"Dear Crystal, I have received my swim wear last week. I just wanted to say thank you for so much effort you made to make such a beautiful swimsuit for me and wanted to let you know how much I love my swim suit. It really fits me and I congratulate you for being such an artist.  It is wonderful."

Eli

"Hi Crystal, My swim suit came in the mail over a week ago and it is perfect! It is even prettier than in the picture and I am really grateful that you had it available for purchase.  It is worth the investment.  Thank you!"

Amy Arita

"Thank you for the great patterns. I made suits for myself, my mom and three of my sisters, as well as 3 of my 4 daughters (only 1 of them was with me for the picture). The day after this picture was taken, we all went to a wave pool. The suits worked nicely."

Gina Ellis from Wisconsin

"The suits were wonderful this summer.  

They held up great and my daughters looked so cute in them.  

My older daughter is also using her suit for ballet practice!  

It's much more modest that typical dance clothes.

Thank you again for clothing my children!" 

Cindy Puhek  from Colorado Springs, CO  

"I love this suit and always receive a compliment when wearing it, so I refer
them to your website.   Thanks for your help."

KD from Texas

"Thanks for the beautiful swimsuit you custom made for me.  It fits great!  I have been very dissatisfied with the suits in the stores but was at a loss as to what to do.  Then I found your website.  What a great design.  The fact that you could customize it for hard to fit figures and the fabrics were quite attractive, sold me right away.  All this and modesty too!  I've told as many other Christian ladies as I can that they can finally enjoy the water at last.  Praise the Lord.  Keep up the great work!"

"I love the suit!!!  I was getting so tired of the suits at the store.   Either too low cut in the front or too high at the bottom.  Thank you for your ministry; for it truly is a ministry to bring modesty back to the beach.  Bless you."

Loretta Compher from
New Brockton, Alabama

"Dear Crystal, I don't know if you remember me, but this is... a college student who ordered a swimsuit last summer prior to a Hawaii trip :)  I wore my fabulous swimsuit again this summer!  In Christ (and lease dont be afraid to ask me for prayers),"

K. G. from NJ, USA

"Hello Crystal, I received my swimsuit last Saturday.  It's beautiful!  Thank you so much!  After my mom saw it, she said she'd like one, too.  I told her that I have the pattern.  She said she would ask my cousin, Lue, to make one for her.  She said that Lue would probably make one for herself, too... God bless you."   

Marilyn

"Dear Crystal, I would just like to express to you how very much I appreciate your devotion to helping the young ladies become a little more modest.  The bathing suits that girls wear these days are way too revealing and I feel as though it is very inappropriate for the little girls... Thank you so much for the patterns as well.  They look amazing on all 9 of my daughters... and I recently even made one for myself, it even flatters my body.  Thanks again!  God bless."

Patricia Evergreen from Ohio

"Crystal, I wanted to send a big THANK YOU your way for providing such a wonderful pattern for modest swimwear.  I searched and searched for a decent swimsuit for my 5 yr. old daughter and finally settled on two that fall well short of what I wanted in terms of coverage, fit and appropriate style for a little girl.  I came across your site recently and ordered the pattern.  A couple of days after receiving it and my daughter’s suit is completed and ready for wear.  I was able to find everything I needed to make it at JoAnn’s.  This will be perfect for camping and long days at the beach in our often cold Michigan great lakes. Thanks again,"

Stephanie (and Lillian, proudly wearing her new suit), Macomb, MI

"We made ourselves some new suits customized to our measurements...we love 'em! Just wanted to share the pics with you all..."

Brittany Comstock & Sisters

"Dear Modest Swimwear,  My swimsuit arrived yesterday (I wasn't expecting it so soon!) It fits wonderfully I am delighted with the fabric. When my Dad saw the suit he said, "It's lovely!" Can you imagine a father being pleased with his teenage daughter's swimsuit! Thanks to modest swimwear I can please my earthly and heavenly father with my swimming attire.  God bless your business.  Thanks,"

Anna G.

"Dear Crystal, Thank you for marketing the pattern and thank you for answering my questions while I was making the suit.  Now I just finished it, and having read the testimonials on your website, I decided to send one of my own.

"This was taken last week at O.C. Maryland. At Assategue Island..."

"Crystal – Thank you again SOOOOooo MUCH for your time in coming to my assistance in getting Kaitlyn’s swimming suit finished prior to our Florida vacation.  Here are a few pictures of her in her swimming suit.  Thanks again!!!  She LOVES it!  (We lengthened the arms and the pant length…)  I never imagined I would be able to sew it so quickly!  Thanks again for creating a pattern so modest and so pretty! Pax Christi,"

Melanie

"I decided to be brave and buy the pattern.  

I made myself a modest swimsuit in about 4 hours!  

I love it!  I was able to purchase material 

that suited my personality.  Now that I have 

completed mine, I will probably be making one 

for my 7 year old sister and a 9 year old neice.  

Thank you!"

"Received our swimsuit yesterday and my daughter ran to put it on.  We really love it.  She filled up the tub so she could "swim".  Her body type has always proved to be a problem when shopping for suits, thanks for the attention to detail and making it not clingy on top and around the tummy.  The V point where the blouse and skirt meet really is flattering on her.  I really like the cotton candy print because it is still a little girlish and fun... Thanks again, this will be the first year I will actually look forward to taking her swimming."

Gloria Williams

"Dear Crystal,  We are thrilled that you made such a cute and comfortable pattern for modest swimwear!  May the Lord bless you for your time and effort in doing this.  We greatly appreciate it!  I am not a seamstress, but was able to make this suit myself.  Abigail loves it!  In Christ,"

Tina Comstock

"Hi Crystal,  I wanted to thank you so much for my beautiful custom swimsuit I received yesterday (early!).  I so appreciate your extra effort in getting it to me so quickly.  I plan to show my suit to my friends so they can get a beautiful suit also!  Thanks again and God Bless You,"

"Hello Crystal!  Thank you for the fast service!  I love the swimsuit.  Here at the condo, the office staff are used to me showing them my projects - they really liked it, THEN I told them it is a swimsuit for those of us who like to swim, but don't go naked in public!  Blessings,"

Elaine Danan

"Crystal,  I just received my swimsuit today! It fits great! ...Thank you so much for helping me out.  I am so excited to go swimming now!  Over the past few years my swimming has decreased dew to embarrassment of going in public half naked.  Praise be to God I can enjoy swimming without shame!  Thanks again,"

Jessica

"Our swimsuits arrived today.  Mine and my smaller daughter's fit perfectly... Also we modeled the swimsuits for my husband this evening and he was very pleased.  He has been nearly as involved as I have been in our quest for modest swimwear... The green tie-die print is adorable on my youngest daughter... I truly appreciate the quality and thank you for your quick work."

"Hello Crystal, I received the modest swimwear today and it looks great and fits good. Your company is one I will recommend... I appreciate the good quality and vibrant color of the material used in the swimwear. The fit was true to the stated measurements and the workmanship was very good. I was extremely pleased with the product and the way in which this business serves its customers... Thank you,"

"Hi, I bought your pattern last year but did not get around to sewing it until a month ago. I bought some great fabric that had been clearanced out at my fabric store. Well I lined the sleeves, bodice, and pants everything except the skirt. I lengthened my sleeves to the elbow, and lengthened the skirt to just below my knee. I also wear a size 20 so I extended the pattern myself to fit my measurements. It was a breeze. It sewed up very easy and the result is stunning... I even went tubing behind our boat wearing it and it was so comfortable. I lived in the pool for a week when I was on vacation in this suit. It was so easy to nurse in. I even nursed my daughter while sitting in the pool on the steps and it was very easy and discreet. I wore my sport bra under for support and it was great since I’m very large chested suits never fit me right or support but because I could wear my own bra it was great. Thanks again!!!! Blessings,"

Elizabeth from Georgia

July 25, 2006

HI Crystal,

I made the dress part of the swim suit yesterday, using the serger. It sewed up beautifully. Very easy, especially compared to bathing suits I've made in the past. I tried it out in the water last night and again this morning and am really impressed... I finished the pants and my modified dress. Both fit super. I've been swimming in them and am ecstatic. To be able to walk around the pool and feel comfortably dressed, it's great. The swimsuit is super easy to make, doesn't take any time at all... Thanks again. I could have used this pattern years ago when my girls were young. Thanks for everything,"

Karen Cahill

July 24, 2006

"Crystal, I was so intimidated with working with Lycra, that I put this off far too long. I finally did it and all in a few hours. The hardest part of the whole deal was tracing the pattern onto the freezer paper so that I could reuse my pattern. I love it and so does Paige!!! ...It turned out so cute!!! Thank you so much for your ministry in this business!! ...Blessings,"

Christine Salinas

July 18, 2006

"Hi Crystal, I just wanted to let you know how much I love the swimsuit pattern I bought! I was able to alter it so that it fit me just right, and I love it! I haven't gone swimming yet, but I will be soon. I showed it to some friends and they loved it! I have been able to tell a lot of people about your store. The Lord has really blessed your family with the gift of serving others in this way! Thanks again for making this pattern available! God bless you all,"

Elisabeth Murrah from Texas

June 30, 2006

"Dear Crystal, First of all I want to thankyou so much for what you have done. Thankyou for listening to the Lord. My three daughters and I just wore your swimsuits and had so much fun. I was able to swim with them and teach them how to swim without feeling torn between dressing modestly and spending time with my family in the water. My daughters loved their swimsuits and had several friends ask where they came from. I've only worn mine once and already have two friends curious about one for themselves... God Bless You,"

Heather Imel

"Ellie's swimsuit is simply darling - I love looking at her in it!! It is so sweet and protective to her, God honoring, and innocent. I just cannot tell you how grateful we were to find the suit and I will be ordering the patterns for future years as she grows. I want one too!!!... We do not even go to public pools or even have a big pool - we only have the blow up ones, but I wanted Ellie to embrace this early (age 6) so that she will be used to guarding her modesty. And if we do go to somewhere else, ie., a friend's house, etc., she is guarded...these are really feminine looking suits that are well pleasing and a beautiful statement of modesty... Thank you, Crystal, for your commitment to honoring our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sincerely,"

Kelly Rutan from Aurora, Illinois

June 16, 2006

"Crystal, First I would like to say how great what you are doing is! Thank you for providing such a great alternative to the swimwear in the stores... One thing that I love about your suits it that the leggings are separate! That will make it soo much easier to pull on and off...We received the swimsuits on Friday. They look great!...we really love the swimsuits, thanks a ton, I can’t wait to go swimming!"

Rachel Bruce  from  Canton, Ohio

"I am so excited about these suits and so are my girls! We are going to all have matching suits for our beach vacation this year. I was soooo not looking forward to wearing a traditional suit. I will feel so much more comfortable in one of yours, both physically and spiritually...Thank you,"

June 9, 2006

"Hi Crystal, I received our swimsuits today. I have to tell you that I am overall very pleased with them. I love having a matching one with my daughter. She was excited too...I am very glad I ordered them from you...They are very feminine and modest at the same time, which was exactly what I was hoping they would be. You modified the dress part for me and it is wonderful!!...Thank you!! Blessings,"

"Hi Crystal! My oldest daughter recently ordered and received one of your custom-made swimsuits and we are completely thrilled with it. Now my second daughter would like to order a suit as well... Thank you so much for your wonderful product...Our family is grateful to have found your website, as I'm sure you know how difficult it is to find modest swimwear for young women. Your suits are not only modest, but also flatteringly feminine. Thank you so much for your wonderful product and your very helpful and friendly customer service.  Blessings,"

Debbie Fucello  from  Woodbridge, Virginia

April 18,2006

"Thank you so much! I received my swimsuit yesterday. We're going to visit my sister the week of July 4th and they have a pool. I knew I wouldn't swim in any suit you can buy at the store. My sister is not a Christian, so I'm hoping that G~d will use this modesty to bring about conversations to plant seeds at least. Who knows, maybe I'll get to be a part of the reaping as well. I'm just so glad to have found something so perfectly modest! I'll definitely be telling others about you! Shalom,"

"Crystal- As you can see, the suits are just beautiful. The girls love them and received several compliments...Both the girls are thrilled with their suits and wanted to wear them out to dinner!... It really does look beautiful on them! ...Thank you for your wonderful and quick service!...I can't wait until summer when I am sure I will be referring lots of people to you... I have to tell you that my 9 year old has her suit on again today (3rd day in a row!), and there is no water to be seen anywhere yet! I'm glad I bought the patterns, because at this rate, she may wear it out before it gets warm enough to swim...THANK YOU so much!"

Trisha Workman from Ohio

May 20,2006

"Crystal, Thank you so much for letting me get some of the most beautiful material I have ever seen. I made your suit for my daughter and she LOVED it!! We went to a water park for their school trip (10 kids in the whole school), and little girls and ladies in the park kept asking where she got her suit. Thank you for letting the Lord use you to bless so many women who love to swim, but desire to be modest!"

Michelle Trofort from Harlingen, Texes

May 18,2006

"Hello, Crystal: I wanted to write and thank you for your prompt and professional service for my family. We really love our new swimsuits, and their hard-to-find combination of femininity and modesty. Thank you especially for altering my swimsuit so that it fits well, and also the alterations for my 9 month old daughter. She is so adorable in it! We are looking forward to trying them out in the pool on our Mackinac Island vacation next week! Thanks again and God bless your ministry,"

May 12, 2006

"We just adore these swimsuits!! I was so amazed at how easily they came together. I was a little apprehensive about sewing on lycra/spandex, but it really wasn't that difficult at all. Your directions are so easy to follow. I'm not an experienced seamstress by any means, adequate at best, yet I had no trouble putting these suits together. Your ministry is exactly what your title describes...a swimwear solution, one that even Daddy approves of! (And he's a hard one to sell sometimes!) Thank you for offering a modest answer to a seasonal dilema we must face each year...We love the suits, they wear them every chance they get!! I recommend your site to everyone who asks. Thanks again for such a great product!!... May God continue to bless you and your ministry. Blessing and Thanks from Sunny Florida,"

"Crystal, Thankyou for being an answered prayer! We truly appreciate your company.... Here's a picture of Katie in the swim suit you made her. She loved getting to view it on-line before it came home. I loved the excellent service, innovative product and having my own pattern. I've made a suit for my friend, she thought it was too adorable! :)

Mrs. Liz Valyi Alliston, Ontario

"I got the material to make the swimsuit in today and decided to go ahead and sew it up..  I couldn't believe how easily it went together.  It took less than one hour to cut it out and sew it together... and that was with a 5 month old and 3 year old distracting me.    It turned out adorable and my daughter loves it.  It will be so nice to have something like this to use when she wants to play in the water in public.. before I've always just left her in normal clothes and that gets heavy and miserable for her.  Thanks!

"Crystal,  Thank you so much for the suits and patterns. They arrived on date promised. My girls love them. When they tried them on all three wanted to wear them longer. We are very excited about going swimming and to the Beach again. I hope to be able to make a suit for myself soon. These are such a blessing. My girls want to go swimming this weekend at their grandparents pool. Again Thank you the idea of living so close to the beach is going to be fun from now on. May God Bless you and this business of helping girls and women honor Him in covering their bodies.

"Dear Crystal, ...these bathing suits are awsome!  My little sister's a tomboy, so swimming's always been easy for her (board shorts and a t-shirt), but I've always had a problem!  Thank you so much!

"Hello Crystal, Thank you so much. I received your package this morning. That was a wonderfully fast delivery service. My daughter tried your swimwear on right away and she LOVES it. Thank you for making the pattern available. My friends have asked me to make their daughters some swimwear of thier own. However, your swimwear is so comparable to material prices that I suggested they take a look at your web site first.

Thank you for this 'modesty ministry'. May our Lord continue to bless you with diligence and creativity and all the abundance of His blessings for your selflessness. Sincerely,"

"Hi Crystal, Thank you for sending out the pattern so promptly!  ...my daughter really likes her swimsuit and is excited about  using it!  I would like to get a pattern for myself, since this is the first suit I would even consider wearing!  My daughter is 9 and she has never seen me swim!

February 8, 2006

"Crystal, Thank you for your vision in marketing this much needed item of clothing for Godly women and girls. I'm looking forward to start sewing the swim dresses for our four daughters and myself. I'd given up on ever finding a modest suit for myself that actually looked pretty as well and have simply gone to men's trunks and shirt over top of a regular suit. As our oldest daughter has started to grow into a young woman, I cringe every time I try to find a suit for her. The most modest thing I could find in stores or catalogs was a two piece (top and shorts) that cost over $70 and we would still be concerned about the top riding up on the tummies. Your solution seems perfect for us; modesty, sun protection, movability, and pretty all wrapped up together... Thanks again and blessings to you. I will tell all my friends with daughters about your Swimwear Solutions."

February 2, 2006 

" Hi!  I bought the set of three patterns from you in mid-summer last year...  I made one for each of my three girls and one for myself, and we to my aunt, and she is interested in getting the patterns for her daughters too, since she said she loves the look of them too.  You really created something great!

January 30, 2006

"Crystal, just to let you know my swim suit has just arrived and it fits beautifully!!! It looks and feels lovely as well. Everyone likes it. I am going to try it out at the beach this week. You did a great job. Thanks again..."

"Thanks Crystal, for offering a great product and the great service--we will definitely be telling others about this...we can not hardly get our 3 year old girl out of her swimsuit!  Thanks again."

"First of all, bless you! Your swimwear is a wonderful thing for those of us who cannot wear the traditional bare-everything swimsuit. Both for sun-protective reasons and for modesty, I need a full-coverage suit. It's wonderful to see ones that are also pretty... (Wow, I'm just so thrilled to find a swimsuit that is safe, modest, and made to measure.) ...Wow. I'm hoping to visit family in Hawaii over January, and would like to have a swim suit for that... My husband and I are both looking forward to seeing the finished swimsuit. (He's excited at the possibility of spending time outside with his easily sun-damaged wife...Wow! Thank you. It's hard to believe it will be here by Thanksgiving. I'm really impressed, and thank you for also sending the clippings. Thank you.) Thank you very much!, and may the LORD bless and keep you."

"...You should have seen those girls romping in the waves in Maine in their lovely modest suits.  And we made them for little money, as we bought our fabric on ebay and had a lot left over, probably enough for one for me too!  Lord bless you..."

I found the fabric on ebay. Thank you too for the pattern.  Now I feel very comfortable with the swimming issue ... it use to be so hard for the girls.  I cannot wait to show my friends! ;) Thank you again! The girls love them!"

"Crystal, I just finished my swimsuit last night and I LOVE it.  I adapted the pattern to meet my likes and it is just perfect to fit my swimming lifestyle.  It is stylish and yet modest.  I can't wait to try it out next week.

 

Thank you so much for posting your pattern on the web and including links to fabric resources.  There is no store in my town that sells lycra and I was able to find closeout fabric from one of your links for $3.98 a yard!  What a steal.  I made the whole suit for under $40 and when this one wears out it should be even more inexpensive...Thanks again for the great pattern."

"Dear Crystal, I just finished my 2yo's size-4 swimsuit.  I wasn't sure I'd like it because it seems like an awful lot of material hanging around.  But it really turned out perfectly!  I am SO pleased!  I'm going to adapt my pattern to make a swimshirt for my 10-month-old son with a tie-dye blue lycra I have.  Thank you so much!  Feel free to post the attached picture on your website to show a child-size suit!  I love it! Love it!  Love it!"

"Thanks Crystal!  I just received it today.  We are moving in 2 mo.s to Atlanta from Minneapolis so I need something more modest and I'm nursing so this 2 piece design will work well.  I can't wait to sew this up.  I just got a new Huskqvarna Huskylock 936 serger!!!! For my 30th birthday.  I have always had junky machines but my hubby surprised me!  When I make this I will send a pic of it.  Yes, it got here very fast."

I love your swimsuits! They're exactly what I've been looking for, but they're not my size! Do you have plans for a plus sized pattern? For myself, I would need a 26/28. For my grandmother, I'd need up to a 32.

I'm a healthy, normal male who's eyes are working just fine and I believe I've seen another creative solution that is totally beautiful and dignified and feminine in a way that doesn't tempt lust. Good job. JPII is surely proud of yous for seizing this domain of society that has given itself over to the slipping whims of hedonism. God's COMPLETE best to these endeavors and others like them. What a delight that just lifts me from a heavy day!! Thank you - keep it up.

Hello Francine and Jenna! We were thrilled to find out about your website and what you were doing in the area of modest swimwear. It was just in time, as my girls are looking forward to swimming at a family reunion this summer, and as they are growing, their swimsuits that they "invented" last year no longer fit, and we were just talking about what we could make this year. It is nice to see others who want to glorify the Lord with their bodies also. You might just see an order from us in the near future! God bless you all, and I'm sorry I haven't kept up on writing, Francine. Life just has been too full, but I am glad Megan has been corresponding with Jenna. We need to continue to spur each other to love and good works as we see the day approaching, and encourage each other in the Lord. Take care!

I so appreciate your desire to please the Lord in dressing modestly. My daughters and I are so pleased to have found your site. I had just about given up on the idea of being able to go swimming because I'd just rather not swim then be half dressed. May God bless you for your faithfulness and desire to please Him.
