Swimsuit Season

Yep, it's that time of year again! As an adult, I have come to dread the annual search for a swimsuit, but I never imagined it would be so difficult finding a child's swimsuit that was modest. Actually, I can find lots of one piece suits for Savannah, but she is so long-torsoed that it is hard to find one that doesn't give her a wedgie! I prefer a tankini because it fits her length and allows her to go to the bathroom more easily, however, it is hard to find a tankini that covers her belly. When I found this cute suit at Sam's Club for $11, I hoped it would provide adequate coverage.....but no luck! I ended up buying some swimsuit material from the fabric store for $1.50 and making a little ruffle to go around the bottom. While it is not an exact match, I think it adds style and charm to an already cute swimsuit and provides the coverage that makes mom happy! Savannah loves it because any kind of ruffle makes it more girly!
