Swimming outfit designed by a participant of the 'Dressed to Swim' workshop

A 'vibrant' and 'colourful' swimming outfit designed by a participant of the 'Dressed to Swim' workshop (held at the Museum of Oxford on 29th July 2023 as part of the Dive In! exhibition programme).

Aspects of the design include 70s-inspired colours and shapes, longer sleeves for extra coverage and pockets.

A hand-drawn design of a one-piece swimming outfit on a figure with dark-toned skin. The outfit covers the torso and has a high neck-line, with sleeves that cut off in the mid-upper arm and shorts that cut off in the mid-thigh. The outfit is light-pink and decorated with a pattern of multi-coloured irregular shapes. Annotations on the design read: 'very colourful & vibrant', 'longer sleeves and shorts for extra coverage if wanted', I've gone for a model with darker skin and an afro as there wasn't much representation', 'I've gone for a 70s vibe with the different colours and patterns as well as the afro', 'built in pockets in the back in order to carry essentials such as phone'.
