Faye Swimsuit Pattern

Description Function meets form with Faye, a modern, versatile, and fully lined swimsuit. With a clean finish and minimalist design lines, the Faye Swimsuit features a scoop neckline and a slightly cheeky cut, with enough variations to create a full wardrobe of swimwear. View A blends a high-rise bikini bottom and a bikini top with straight straps. View B is sporty and fun with a low-rise bikini bottom and a bikini top with a strappy back and supportive underbust band. Prefer a one-piece? View C is a classic maillot with a deep scoop back and adjustable straps.

Cup size = difference between full and high bust (1"=A, 2"=B, 3"=C, 4"=D). If your difference exceeds 4", you may need a full bust adjustment. If your difference is smaller, you may need a small bust adjustment. Note: even if your numeric size overlaps with the 0-20 range, body measurements are not the same — always size by measurements, not past size.
