I've made several of my own swim dresses, but when I can buy something for less than the cost of the fabric, that's definitely the route I'm going to go for a little girl who's going to wear it out in one summer!

Here are some of the girl styles, and I think they have similar styles for adults.

I am not impressed. Some of those outfits are too tight, the dresses are too short and one has too low of a neckline (somewhat plunging V), and some of the head coverings almost look like the Moslems wear.

We've bought from similar sites I think. We've found even if most of them aren't very close to what we are looking for usually we can find a couple that will work.

The nice thing about Muslim swimsuits is high quality swim skirts and leggings! It's hard otherwise to find ones with decent length. I'm glad they're more available online now.

I'd just not want a Christian lady to be mistaken for a Moslem.

When my wife started wearing a covering people thought she was all kinds of things and certainly not Christian... I don't think it is going to get better anytime soon. Being faithfully obedient in following Christ is going to upset and confuse people. We got used to it.

Intentionally trying to look like a Muslim doesn’t make sense though.

Intentionally trying to look like a plain Mennonite is just as worldly focused. At least it can be..

I just avoid wearing ungodly styles like skintight pants for men, and sometimes do so because of guidance from church. I hope that’s not “worldly focused”.
