Happy Release Day, Pirates!! We are excited to be sharing with you the latest patterns in our swim lineup: the Minute Maillot and Minute Maillot Youth!
This pattern is about to make a splash in your swimwear sewing, because it’s super easy AND a super flattering to sew. The pattern features partially lined and fully lined options. The women’s also includes a bust support piece with elastic which you can sew swim cups to. They both include 3 back neckline options: high, mid, and low. The women’s also includes 3 front neckline options: high, mid, and low as well as 2 leglines: high and low. You can mix and match to your personal preference for modesty and flatter your personal bodytype…or sew one of each variation and have a huge stack!
Never heard the word “maillot” before? Here’s a quick history lesson: In the 1920’s the term maillot was first used to describe a tight fitting, one-piece swimsuit. In present day, the word has almost entirely been replaced by the term “one-piece” or “tanksuit,” but is now known in the designer’s world for specific styles that include higher cut leglines, and often plunging necklines or revealing cutouts.
