I can never find a swim suit that I actually like. Why? Because I have weird tastes, probably. I can never find maternity clothes that I like either. I'll likely spend the next three months in a tank top and pj pants. ANYWAY! My point is, this has me thinking about the pros of making my own swimsuit. I like sewing, and have always had a bit of a eye for design. And I wanted to know if anyone has/had any thoughts for furry swimsuits? I bet I could make them... :p i just need a sewing machine...
So many different variations on the concept. A smandex/cotton mix base with a poly' pile in a two piece. Attacking a tail to that would probably pull the rim down past your butt crack.
There's the more animal approuch with the normal material but in a four piece bathing suit to cover all six nipples.
I think a pair of full eyes google (eg. http://www.parpool-spa.com/images/Toys/ILP/Casablanca-mask.jpg (http://www.parpool-spa.com/images/Toys/ILP/Casablanca-mask.jpg) with the frame covered in fur would look pretty trippy underwater as the current makes the fluffs sway back and forth.
I think I would keep the fabric a lycra and just make the colours that of the fur. No one wants to shed in a pool after all, :p I also wouldn't want to make the suit too heavy, and any amount of fur submerged in water is going to soak some of it up.
I can't help but think if there were any pokefurs, a vaporean themed suit would be easy AND fantastic, XD

also fur has a problem when exposed to chemicals they put into the water, might end up with some funky colored swimwear. Fur patterned Lycra would be better suited for swimwear. Just a suggestion best to not have a tail on it, all you need is someone to pull on it ripping the swimwear aka embarrassed situation
yeah, I'm thinking the same about the tail, unless it was just a thin sheet that trailed behind while swimming or something. That could look cool, but probably wouldn't be worth the hassle.
Ill draw up some designs and post them up here later. Does that sound cool with you guys?
