Found this ultra high cut one piece last week JUST in time for what has come to be our annual boat party on Lake Lanier. Nothing less than heaven sent!
I still find myself stammering over vintage pieces that fit my frame like perfection. Hands down...this is the most flattering bathing suit I own. More proof I was born in the wrong era or something. lol.
Started with a serious soak in my go-to Tide/Woolite combo before changing out the lining.
I found a very similar material from Joann's to switch out the lining. Trace the old lining with a pen leaving yourself a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Cut out your pattern.
After snipping out the new lining, I began sewing it in from back to front. Tuck the lining under the elastic and begin your stitch. The whole process was surprisingly simple!
Seamingly yours,

Heads-up! If you're a small and looking to score something similar, GimmeShelterVintage has a more unique version of this one. Major plans to make a copycat version for myself.

An ode to all of my sweet summers past. The epic summer anthems road trips constant moves memories in my head are on an endless real as there is so much going on .that I've had to pencil in all of the fun. Not exactly the run around aimlessly plans of my normal world, but I'm happy to be beyond busy with something that I love and have been working towards.
I've spent so much time cultivating, nurturing, showering, and whatever else makes seedlings happy that seeing the sprouts pop out of my metaphorical soil are making me anxious. This summer I welcome all blooms. Big, bright, nestle-your-nose-in and take a deep breath blooms.
Seamingly yours,

Took this silk Evan Picone vintage maxi skirt on a trip to brunch last week.
For sure to be my summer staple look: comfy, airy, simple.
I'll definitely be pairing with a simple tank and sandals for a few farmer's market runs.
There will be several similar maxi skirts coming to the
shop in the next few weeks.
Brick wall to do the colors justice.
Paired with a basic white crop top and brown sandals (can't remember the brand). Scooped them on sale from
YOOX.com.
Seamingly yours,
