If you are thinking about ordering just the patterns, please be advised that the vast majority of fabric stores do not carry swimsuit fabrics, or only a limited amount of solid colors. Cute and Covered offers a wide and ever-changing selection of beautiful prints and solids of medium-weight Lycra/spandex, the material that swimsuits are made from, as well as zippers and other supplies, allowing you to affordably obtain everything you will need to sew a beautiful swim dress in just one spot.
