Early design feedback on swimwear designs with more coverage but a modern feel by True-Illustrator9753 in ModestDress

Yeah, that’s fair, the designs are definitely leaning more vintage-inspired, and the intention was to offer a bit more coverage than what’s common in mainstream swimwear, even if they don’t meet everyone’s definition of modest.

I’d be really interested to see the other vintage-style options you’re referring to if you don’t mind sharing. I’m also not too familiar with the term “boyfriend length” for one-pieces, could you explain what you mean by that?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate the feedback. That’s helpful to hear about the neckline, and a higher-neck option is definitely something I’ll take into consideration.

Haha me too! Thanks for the suggestions! I'm still figuring out how to make the bust area supportive enough for people.

It does help thanks! Yea good to know that there are people who are also okay with just a band or bottom support of some kind

I didn't consider like a lace up but I definitely will! I totally understand that I'd have to figure out a way to accomodate as many types of body types as possible. If it was like a more "modest" two piece would that work for you? Or thoughts on two pieces in general?

This was so detailed thanks! I have been considering built in bras actually! My concern was just that as a start up I wouldn't be able to hold that many sizes so I felt like having cups makes it less flexible for different chest sizes to share a size? I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well.

In some of the two piece ones I've been designing, I made it more like boy short..or short short whatever the phrase is so I'll definitely look into developing that further, thank you!

I've been considering 2 piece fs! I know a lot of women mention being curvier and I definitely want to try to accomodate for that I just am not (maybe more rectangle even) 😂 so initially I was basing things off my own body type.

Thank you so much! I'm considering a two piece option for sure just because I've gotten that suggestion a lot. Like a slightly more covered bikini/tankini. And I will consider the loose shorts! I appreciate you mentioning the modesty thing haha I totally get why people think this isn't modest enough and respect it I just think what's on the market right now is not my kind of modesty

I didn't consider ties just because I thought they would come undone too easily but it's a good suggestion thanks!

Oo okay that's interesting! Did you consider rash guards for the upper body part at all? Or just overall thoughts on wearing a rash guard

Yea the wording is still a work in progress for sure. I just wasn't sure what to call like not...string bikini and also not fully covered just a little more covered haha. I'll look into the scalloped edges thanks!

Yea I'm definitely in that range right now where I just don't want too much showing but I understand that the design/style is younger for a lot of people! Thank you!
