The worst time in P.E. for many girls is the few weeks when everyone is forced to learn how to swim. When you’re a self-conscious young lady, having to wear a bathing suit in front of a bunch of guys can be mortifying. To make matters worse, most swimsuits are very low-cut on the top and high-cut on the bottom, making for a very embarrassing garment for girls who are uncomfortable with their bodies to wear.
Good news for shy girls and fashionistas alike! Japan-based swimsuit maker, Footmark, seems to have achieved the impossible by releasing a one-piece girls’ school swimsuit that is both conservative and absolutely cute.
Officially named, “Double Flare Skirt One-Piece,” this newly released swimsuit allows young girls to cover up during swimming lessons at school. The skirt portion of the swimsuit features a double flare design and ruffled sleeves. It also has a raised, boat neck-style neckline, reducing the amount of exposed skin. The suit is sold online at Ukiuki-ya for 6,825 yen (US$67.17).
Here’s a sample of some other school-use swimsuits sold on the same site:
And here’s another picture of the new Footmark suit:
Wait a tick, the “Double Flare Skirt One-Piece” looks a little familiar…
Sgt. Frog also seems to approve of the new design…
