Two designs - one of the front and one of the back of a swimming outfit.

1. The front of the outfit. A blue swimming costume and cap drawn on a model with light-toned skin. The costume has an angler-fish design in the centre, which includes a solar-powered light forming the fish's ray, and the slogan 'Save our Oceans' underneath it. The swimming cap, also blue, has applique sharks attached to it. A handwritten title specifies that the bathing suit is for Greta Thunberg and that it is made from upcycled swimsuits.

2. The back. On the back of the design is a dustbin spewing rubbish into the ocean and the slogan 'Don't dump'. The designer specifies that the dustbin is applique and embroidered with details.
