Growing up I didn’t even realize that modest swimsuits existed. We wore jean short overalls with a t-shirt underneath when we went swimming. We probably looked ridiculous to some people, but that is all we had at the time and it was more modest then a regular bathing suit!
Thankfully there are options for swimming now that are quite a bit more modest. I was delighted to be sent a modest swimsuit to review-it was even custom sewn for me based on my measurements!
Creations by Savannah is a fabulous Etsy store that primarily sells modest swimwear. Savannah has been wonderful to work with as she simply took my measurements and created me a swimsuit that fits me perfectly! I’m delighted to be reviewing her newest swimsuit-it features a nursing option for breastfeeding moms!
Front and Back Views
I *really* like this style of swimsuit. It is a two piece suit. The skirt is attached to the shorts underneath and then the top is one piece. I love the gathered sides of the swimsuit as it makes it more flattering yet not skin tight.
The nursing option is awesome! I don’t think you can even tell this is a nursing swimsuit unless you knew what to look for.
This swimsuit does not have built in undergarments, so you need to wear your own undergarments. I just wore a nursing bra so it made nursing extremely easy! If you are at the pool and need to get out to nurse you would still have to throw a towel over you as I didn’t find a way to do it without showing skin I didn’t want shown! 
It was very easy to swim it. I didn’t feel weighed down by a lot of fabric.
The swimsuit is made out of excellent fabric, and the sewing is superb. Savannah’s prices are very reasonable with a suit starting at $81.00. She even offers maternity swimsuits!
Savannah has offered to giveaway a custom sewn swimsuit to one of you! You can pick a woman’s, maternity, nursing, or child’s suit! To enter, use the rafflecopter form below.
I LOVE the nursing swimsuit. So hard to find decent swimsuits! Thanks for the review and giveaway! : )
The modest swimsuit concept is new to me, as in I would rather not go swimming at all to avoid the suit issue at all costs! This looks like it would encourage me in a positive direction to enjoy swimming again!
I was just looking at these the other day! Thanks for the giveaway.
Oops! I would pick the women’s modest swimsuit size 10-12.
I could definitely use the nursing suit!
Me too!
Here is a link to the swim suit I would choose! I love the colors and modest style! http://www.etsy.com/listing/94454924/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-12-20-large
Oh, wow! I have been looking at these for a while! How exciting! Thank you for the opportunity!
I like the empire waist maternity suit!
I would love to win a modest swimsuit. I avoid swimming because I cannot find a modest suit.
I would love to win a suit for my daughter. She would like the woman’s suit with the cap sleeves and above knee length skirt in the Grey Scale Art fabric.
I would love to win this. I want a swim dress sooo bad and even considered making my own.
Love modest swimwear and very hard to find. Thanks.
I would choose the Modest Baby Swimwear since I haven’t been able to find anything like this ANYWHERE!!!
I’d choose the maternity swim suit.
I would choose a women’s suit, maybe the empire style. They are all lovely!
Love this!
I would pick the blue floral one and have the skirt lengthened.
I would love to win the nursing swimsuit!
i like the maternity swimsuit style
I have spent the last two days searching the web for a modest nursing swimsuit and have not been able to find anything modest by my standards. Thank you for this review. If I don’t win, I will be shopping:)
I would love a nursing swimsuit. All of her suit look so wonderfully made. Having a modest swimsuit would really make swimming with the kids less stressful.
I like the sports swimsuit. If we win I will get one for my 14 year old dd.
I really like this modest swimsuit. It is so hard to find anything modest in the stores.
I would pick the modest swimwear 2-10 with a longer skirt though.
I am so excited about these swimsuits! I have four daughters and it is so hard (impossible) to find modest swimwear. I would love one of these!
I would definitely pick the Women’s plus sized suit. Thanks for the opportunity!
Though I love the idea of owning a maternity swimsuit, I’d probably order a woman’s suit. Though my daughters are getting older and it’s getting harder to find modest suits for them too.
the maternity swim suit would be most practical but i really like the woman’s swimsuit with the nursing option.
Looks like the first attractive yet modest swimsuit I’ve seen yet!
I love that swimsuit! It is a lot prettier than most I have seen. I really hope I win!
Oh, I would want one similar to yours, I didn’t see that style on the etsy site?
I don’t think she has it listed yet as it is a brand new design she just made. But she could make it for the winner.
I would love one just like yours! I love the ruching and the nursing top.
I like the sports style!
I could not find the nursing swimsuit option on her store site. Could you give a direct link?
I like the purple swirl pattern suit with a longer skirt.
I like the modest swimwear style though I agree with Tara. A longer skirt would be nice.
I’d get the nursing swim suit of pregnancy one. : )
I would love to have a bathing suit from Savannah! Right now I don’t consider swimming at all because options are nearly non-existent for modest swim wear. Kudos to you for sharing this opportunity!
I would love the modest maternity suit!
Caroline,
The suit is fabulous!!! Did the nursing part float up while in the water?
No it has elastic on it so it stays nice and snug. I was worried about that also but I didn’t have any problems at all!
What a fabulous idea! Thinking ahead to future pregnancy, I’d choose the maternity suit.
I would pick a nursing one as well
My girls would love the modest swimsuit with short sleeves! Even with winning one, I’d have to buy another… Thanks for the opportunity!
I really like the women’s suit with the skirted top. This would be fabulous to win!
I would love to have a nursing swimsuit!
I love the modest swimsuit, sz 6, with sleeves! These are some of the cutest I’ve seen yet! Thank you for the opportunity
These are great!!! I’d love the women’s style with one of the black and white fabrics. I haven’t been swimming in a while due to lack of modest swimwear, so I’s love to win one of these!
I would go with the modest suit 2-10
These look great. I’d love one for myself and my daughter.
Finally a swim suit I would actually feel comfortable in and be pleased to wear!!! THANK YOU
I would love to have the nursing swimsuit! That is wonderful!
A truly beautiful bathing suit!!
Thank you for hosting the giveaway! As a skin cancer survivor, I appreciate the extra coverage on the back and shoulders.
I would love a solid black on in this style: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75850527/ready-to-ship-womens-modest-swimsuit
The design looks very slimming!
I love the one in the boat, the blue with the big Hawaiian flowers.
Would love one!
I’d get the nursing suit. They are very cute!
I think I’d get the maternity suit. So lovely!
The modest maternity suit! I’ve been wanting that one
Ooh, I love the women’s modest suit, sleeveless, in fabric option number 3. I’d get plain black leggings underneath. VERY cute!
I’d choose one similar to yours as I love the ruching on the sides, although I don’t need it to be a nursing top.
Mrs.Hearts
I would love the nursing suit.
That is a really beautiful modest suit! I’m with you, I *never* felt comfortable in a bathing suit growing up, and I thought it was just me! Now with the internet, not only have I found out that I’m not alone, I’ve found some really good sources for modest suits. I love the nursing option on your suit, it’s genious! I would like that, and I also love the gathering on the sides, very flattering for a mom of many. Thanks!
Beautiful! I’d love a women’s one.
I would love to have a nursing swimsuit!
this one with the sleeves http://www.etsy.com/listing/75852158/ready-to-ship-womens-modest-swimsuit if I win I hope it comes in my size.
The suit you are wearing is awesome! I would love to have a nursing one just like that one!
I like the Empire Waist Maternity Swimsuit.
These are great. I love the black fabric with purple dots. So cute!!!
I like to do aqua aerobics and a modest swimsuit would be wonderful to attend classes in.
Wow! I would never wear a swimsuit in public, but this I WOULD WEAR!
The all black Hawaiian print swimsuit is cute
http://www.etsy.com/listing/76431266/modest-maternity-swimsuit-empire-style?ref=v1_other_2 This is the one I would love to have!
I love it! I have been looking for modest swim suits for a while. These are great!
Oops! I would really like a nursing one like yours, but I think I would like the skirt the same length as the leggings
I like the Women’s Modest Swimsuit in the black material w/large floral print!
I like the women’s swim dress
This is a great giveaway–thanks for hosting it!
I love this swimsuit! We went swimming this week, and I just wore a t-shirt and shorts like I always do and it was so cumbersome. I would love something more modest and made for the pool. I’d choose the nursing suit. With a little one nursing and another one on the way, I’d put it to use!
I like the suit pictured in xl.
Totally want the nursing suit!!
I would love to have a nursing style suit like the one you showed, but with a longer skirt!
Thank you for the giveaway!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/94454924/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-12-20-large I would love this suit in the dark teal/violet print and the black bottoms
I would choose one of the Modest Swimwear, sleeveless, blue print with solid black pants.
That is such a great suit! I always struggle with finding a suit I like and end up just wearing a tank top and/or shorts over the one I have just to feel comfortable. This suit would finally make that unnecessary!!
Oops. I forgot to say which one I was talking about. :/ Since I am thinking about another baby, the nursing suit would be great! I really like the sport suit too!!
I would love to have a nursing suit. Our girls recently had swim lessons but I had to stay on the sidelines to nurse the baby. Having a nursing suit would make it so much easier for my husband and I to take turns playing with the girls in the pool. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh wow, these look very nice!
I would probably pick one for my daughter. She like them!
I’d get the women’s suit w/ sleeves – the blue print! Lovely!
I would choose the women’s modest swimsuit. Love it!
I would like a size 10-12. Hoping I can win, but if I don’t how much are they if I just want to purchase one?
I would like the woman’s suit or the girl’s suit. We just moved to Arizona and I will be adding them to our swim wear. These are great.
I would get the nursing swimsuit! Last summer I didn’t go swimming at all because I didn’t have a way to nurse the baby without taking my suit off.
I would love to have a nursing suit! My husband and I have been looking for a modest swimsuit for me and my daughter and are saving up our money for them, but this would definitely be a blessing. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I would choose one of the maternity or nursing suits since that is the season of life I am in right now
I like the nursing one best. Seems like that’s what I am always up to
I have always worn one piece bathing suits, but this season I have been looking for a more modest swim suit…just like this one! I love it!!
This is awesome! I would absolutely choose the nursing swimsuit. I have spent hours looking for one that is decent in stores and just cannot find one. This suit is perfect!
I like the sports style swim suit a lot!!
I love her fabrics. Nice to see a review on an Etsy store
I am in need of a modest maternity suit. Those triangles with strings that they sell in the store does not appeal to me in the least! LOL! Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t know the name of the swimsuit but it looks like a dress and then has the shorts underneath. I also really like the sports style suit.
I love modest swimsuits – too much skin these days!! I’d pick a nursing one for sure.
I love the nursing swimsuit! That’s the one I would choose!
I love the swimsuit that is a blue floral – I’ve been looking for modest swim wear and this is one of my favorites thus far!
(Modest Swimwear – Women’s Sizes, 2-10, Small – Medium)
http://www.etsy.com/listing/58462819/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-2-10-small
I would LOVE to win one of your beautiful, modest swimsuits. I would choose the womens’ version with the cap sleeves. Adorable!
I like the sports style suit! They’re all beautiful!
I would want one of the regular women’s style swimsuits. They look very nice!
I would pick the modest maternity suit-empire waist style, so cute and modest!
Love it all either an adult swimsuit or even a little girls one for my Lilli, loved it all:-) Awesome!
I like this one http://www.etsy.com/listing/97785877/sports-style-modest-swimwear-for-women
Love the sports style suit!
I have been searching for something to turn my 2 piece maternity suit into something more modest and had to settle on a pair of men’s swim trunks! All the women’s shorts barely cover anything! The maternity top I have is okay and works to nurse in, but it is pretty low-cut so I’m not that comfortable wearing it certain places. This suit is a dream come true! Everything I have been looking for in a swim suit!
The color Caroline is modeling is my favorite.
I just love this one you have on! I have been researching modest swimwear and I think this is my favorite “look”. I especially like the nursing option (number 3 is due soon).
I love the aqua blue floral (hibiscus) print swimsuit with cap sleeves!
I would pick the women’s sport style.
like the red/black women’s size one
http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5764268/il_fullxfull.284841869.jpg
I like this one!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/58462819/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-2-10-small
I would choose the nursing suit.
I would love a nursing suit, so cute and so practical!
What a great suit ~ it suits you as well!! I would choose the modest women’s swimsuit with the little sleeves as I am prone to sunburn on my shoulders. Lovely site & I’m also interested in the girls one for my daughter.
I like the Sports style!
I would choose the womens sleeveless suit, either with the empire waist or the lower waist. Really like a couple of the fabrics like the pretty blue palm leaves and then black or midnight navy skirt and shorts.
I would also like one for my little 5 yr old granddaughter… she would love it!

great suits, would probably pick one similar to your, with the nursing option since it seems I am often nursing! I also LOVE the little girls ones, would be very tempted to get one for my 3 yr old! I usually make her wear a sundress over her suit
Hers are very cute! And I love the baby one too
Mrs. Caroline, thank you so much for having this giveaway. It is so difficult to find modest swimwear, or even a sewing pattern for modest swimwear. My favorite style is http://www.etsy.com/listing/75850527/ready-to-ship-womens-modest-swimsuit. And I really like the purple and black swirl fabric. Thanks again for having this giveaway! Sincerely, Jordan
I would pick the modest women’s swimwear, with the sleeves.
Oh, it is so hard to choose just one. Right now I am stuck between one for myself or a baby one!
I like the purple swirl with a long skirt. Very pretty.
I love these modest swimsuits, and would love to have 2!! I need a nursing one, but I also love the one with the skirt attached to the bodice, in the black swirls fabric.=)
I would pick the women’s modest swimsuit. Such a great find!
I think these suits just might change my mind about swimming! I love this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94454924/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-12-20-large
I like the ‘sports style’ modest swimsuit. They all look great though.
My girls and I wear board shorts and swim-shirts over the one-piece or bikini, which is modest but a bit bulky. (And makes for a huge, heavy bag of wet stuff to carry home afterward a day at the beach!)
I love the idea of a modest nursing swimsuit!!
Sports Style looks GREAT!
I love the nursing option! That would be my choice, but I also love the maturnity suits.
I would like to have Women’s Modest Swimsuit. Size 12-20. in purple.
I would LOVE a nursing suit! They are beautiful.
My facebook email is Josiebird24 at hotmail dot com, but James.and.andrea at gmail dot com is where I get my regular email.
Love the suits! Wish I had a nursing suit when my children were babies.
I would love a modest swimsuit!! I have not worn a swimsuit since I was a kid because they are just way to reveling. I like the design that has short sleeves on it!
Oh – I just love this! I’m a middle aged mom of grown children – and a grandmom and have always hated summer season with swimsuit weather! I have never felt comfortable in high cut suit and have NEVER worn a two piece. This style actually harks back to the woolen styles worn at the turn of the century 100 years ago – only the fabric is sensible swimsuit fabric – but the style is feminine and modest – wonderful! Oh! I hope I win! Hope you have a moment to visit me at my main blog – The Writer’s Reverie – and I’ll also put your button on my other blog as director of Constellation Academy Home School Resources Network – http://www.constellationacademyhsrn.blogspot.com
Joy!
Kathy
love the swimsuits
I love the regular ones. The nursing ones are great gifts for friends who are expecting
I would pick a nursing swimsuit! These are very pretty suits.
This is perfect timing. My sons have been wondering when I will get a swim suit so that that I can join them in the pool. I would love the Womens Modest Swimsuit size 10-12.
Thanks for the chance to get my hands on this.
I would pick the women’s sleeveless suit in tropical burst fabric with either cranberry or black bottoms! Nice suits.
I have been searching for my first modest bathing suit! Love this and would love to win it.
I love the nursing swimsuit and how modest it is! It’s refreshing to see a suit that covers so much and looks stylish. Thanks so much for the giveaway. Here’s hoping I win as I have a 3-1/2-month-old I’m exclusively breastfeeding and hate nursing in my regular swimsuit as it’s very, very immodest even with a towel.
Oops! Forgot! I would like the Women’s Modest Swimsuit Size 10-12! Except I really like the one that Caroline is wearing!
The women’s modest swimsuit looks perfect. I’d probably pay a little extra to have it made a couple of inches longer.
Oh my goodness. I love these. I would definitely pick the nursing suit, purple vines fabric. This would be perfect for all the beach days we have planned for this summer.
I hate to be the negative one as I appreciate the intention, but I would be quite uncomfortable wearing one of the swimsuits in this review as they are very form-fitting and expose part of the thigh (which is nakedness according to the Bible – Exodus 28:42; Isaiah 47:2). As Mum-me said above, my family and I also wear board shorts and a swim shirt. My shorts are loose and come to my knee (covering the thigh), and I buy my swim shirts in a bigger size so they are loose-fitting. To be honest, I’m rather curious as to why other ladies who are committed to modesty wouldn’t just do the same as swim shorts and shirts are readily available in stores and cheaper too! The point of clothing (irrespective of the activity, ie. swimming) is to cover and hide our nakedness (Genesis 3:7, 10, 21). Unfortunately, though these swimsuits do cover and hide more than a regular swimsuit, they still don’t cover and hide enough by Biblical standards =(
Not everyone has the same views. I no longer live under the OT laws. Bathing suits are form fitting so as to not be too bulky while swimming. I personally don’t like having a ridiculous amount of clothing on while swimming but love this bathing suit.
I’d pick the iceskater swimsuit as she says she calls it.
I really like all of her Modest Swimwear would love to win the suit in – Women’s Sizes, 2-10, Small – Medium
God bless!!
No idea which suit I would pick. . . liking yours, but haven’t taken time to look them all over yet. Did add her shop to my etsy favorites, though!
That is awesome!!! I would love a nursing swimsuit!
Okay, I don’t have a baby, but this is the BEST: Modest Baby Swimwear. Ready to ship. Size 3 to 6 months!! How terrific!!
I like the sports version. I have a full busted special needs 17yr daughter that does not understand the concept of modesty AT ALL (guess she fits perfect in the world hu?) I have such a huge issue finding her a swimsuit, as this is her favorite activity & we do LOTS of it! I think at last I found it – so hoping she wins – Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to win this style suit for my daughter, only in a juniors size? and maybe the colors of purple one shown in the listing..or something with peace signs or tie dye on it!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/75850527/ready-to-ship-womens-modest-swimsuit
would love the modest swimsuit http://www.etsy.com/listing/94454924/modest-swimwear-womens-sizes-12-20-large in purple!
These suits look so nice. I’m not sure if I would get a women’s suit for myself (I haven’t bought a new suit in 17 years!) or if I would get a girl’s one for one of my girls.
I would pick the maternitt suit. I’m suffering away in this heat in shorts, a bikini top, and overshirt. I love how they look!
I’ve looked at modest swimsuits for at least a year. Some are cuter than others and this is definitely cute! I love the side ties.
This is one of the best I’ve seen. So pretty and modest, yet modern (for lack of a better word). I’d love this for me & my girls.
I would either gt one for my 9 yr old daughter, or an empire waist for me
I’d love to have the Modest Maternity Swimsuit, empire style, in size 10-12.
Wonderful idea!
Modest Maternity Swimsuit, Rouched Style, custom sized
Thanks!
Nancy
This is wonderful. I hope I win
http://www.etsy.com/listing/76431266/modest-maternity-swimsuit-empire-style
I like that one b/c it is maternity, and I am praying to be pregnant for about ten more years at least
So it might come in handy! I would pay extra though to make the skirt longer..to cover more of the shorts. I wouldn’t be comfortable wearing the spandex shorts like you had on…nothing personal just after changing to skirts that are to be knee length or below that’s a bit much for me. I really like the nice modest top though! That is EXTREMELY HARD to find in regular stores!
I would probably choose the nursing option.
The maternity swimsuit with rouched sides is so cute!
I’m not pregnant but I love the pattern on the featured picture for the Modest Maternity Swimsuit, empire style.
I’ve been wanting one of her swimsuits for a long time now–what a wonderful giveaway!
I would choose the modest women’s suit.
Thank you!
Leah
Hi Caroline! Thanks for this giveaway!
I would choose the women’s modest suit, size 12 (fabric style #2), but with both a longer skirt and (black) below-the-knee leggings.
I love the nursing one. Which is good since I am nursing
but even if I was not, I like it the best out of all of them.
I would love a womans small with a lengthened skirt!
So cute and stylish! I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable going to the beach or pool.
I love the fabric of the one pictured, but not in a nursing version. My youngest just turned 4.
This is wonderful! I have been wanting a modest swimsuit for a while!
I would love to win a women’s suit
I would love to have a modest swimsuit in a purple print. Size 10-12
I like the sport one
http://www.etsy.com/listing/75850527/ready-to-ship-womens-modest-swimsuit I like the womens swimsuit:) thanks for the giveaway
The Modest Maternity Empire swimsuit but not maternity.
The suit is fabulous. Thanks for the chance to win!
I really need the nursing suit! That is what I would get (and probably will!)
What a beautiful suit! I’d love to win one- I live in a hot humid climate now, and I’m moving to a hot dry climate in the fall! I would go ahead and get the nursing one- I agree that you can’t even tell, so it would be better to be prepared! (DD is in her final days of nursing, down to just before nap and bed- never in public, but she’s not ready to quit yet!)
I really like the tanks and skirt swimsuit with the leggings
I love, love, love that suit!
Thanks so much for this review and giveaway!
I am currently pregnant and LOVE this maternity style here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76431266/modest-maternity-swimsuit-empire-style
And I really like this nursing mothers style too: http://www.etsy.com/listing/103152974/modest-breastfeeding-nursing-swimsuit
Oh this is lovely! I’d love to have one!
I’d pick the Modest Maternity Swimsuit, empire style, custom sized.
I would pick this suit, but non-maternity.
I really like the style you are wearing in this review. I wonder if she makes it in non-nursing. The purple swirly print fabric is nice.
I would love the nursing suit. I like the one they have in the website but I like the lower cut in the one she made for you. Thank you for the giveaway
I love the nursing option one! I would go for that one for sure!
I really love the nursing swimsuit.
I love the nursing suits! I would want one in the black and white Vines pattern.
Love this bathing suit! Most modest bathing suits are not me. And I’d never wear them. For now I blend in and wear a tankini. Which minus the spandex shorts there isn’t a difference!
This is SO AWESOME! Thanks for the chance to win!
What a beautiful suit! I have been looking for a modest suit for a while, but I haven’t found one yet that I liked so much as this one! Until now I have been wearing a sundress over my suit, but I would love to change over to something more comfortable.
I tried to figure out Google Friend Connect but I can’t. I’m sorry. You can remove that entry if need be.
The nursing bathing suit!
Very cool!
I like the Women’s Modest Swimsuit. Size 2-10–with sleeves.
The rafflecopter app doesn’t appear to be working. Is the giveaway still open?
In any case, I am desperately searching for a decent maternity suit!
Wow, that suit looks fantastic! That is the first suit of it’s kind I have seen. Fantastic design. Especially for nursing mamas, like me.
How beautiful! I would love to take my children swimming more often and having a modest swimsuit would make it more enjoyable, since I feel so uncomfortable in regular bathing suits!
