Sewing a solution to modest swimwear

Hi! I am new to your site, but I find it really great. I have been sewing our "swimwear" for a couple of years.

It is basically a ice-skating pattern with skirt. I lengthen the skirt and the top has cap sleeves. I have had many requests for the suits, but with four daughters and myself to sew for I have only made suits for two of my friends.

I have made modifications to the design and they look really similar to the rash guards with a cute little "cover-up" only the cover-up is built on and made from swimwear fabric so that even public pools and slides have had no issue with us wearing them. Thanks for your site!
