I wear a lot of black these days. It matches everything, it’s classy, and it makes me look slightly intimidating – what’s not to love? Naturally, I needed a black swimsuit to top off my summer wardrobe. I used Ohhh Lulu’s Abigail swimsuit pattern and a black swimwear spandex from Fabric.com.
Construction was straightforward, no different from any other swimsuit I’ve made. I lined the cups and crotch with black, and used black elastic on the back and leg holes. The back closure uses a swimsuit hook.
It held up well swimming – I think the extensive elastic was really helpful here. It’s also comfy and of course, classy as hell. Black like my soul. 😀
