When you make it, just be aware of the characteristics of your fabric
when it's wet.
A friend made a set of vintage bathing costumes for herself and her
husband. His was black and white striped knit fabric, just a bit
heavier than T-shirt fabric. He was having a great time in the pool,
until he went to get out of it - the fabric had become fairly
transparent - showing everyone a lot more than he'd
planned! >:-} He had to stay in the water till some kind soul
brought him a towel. Much blushing (his) and giggling (ours) resulted.

we used black knit muscle shirts for the top.?This worked really well.
? The antique onsie is usually black wool knit with a buttcover
length top that is attached to the pant described above. Since this
style was in use before elastic or drawstring waist bands, attaching
the top and bottom was necessary for the 'wet weight' of the garment.?

Subject: [h-cost] 1920s Men's bathing suit patternDoes anyone know
of a sewing pattern for a man's 1920s bathing suit?
Google has let me down. I did find directions for a knitted one, and Past
patterns 7696 for a woman's, but a friend would like one for men,
too. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks.
