Announcement
Welcome to my shop!
My name is Joanna Luge, I'm self taught and have been designing and sewing for over 30 years, making custom swimwear, yoga wear, competition wear/bikinis, costumes, and clothing. I have a passion for the past, the 1940s to the 1970s, so I specialize mostly in retro, pinup, and vintage inspired styles.
If you are looking to have something custom made or maybe you have a favorite swimsuit or dress that's bit the dust and would like it reproduced, please contact me by sending me a message.

5 out of 5 starsWhat an amazing swim suit! Joanna was a detailed seller and artist who answered all questions and was able to make a few modifications with ease. Design turned out to be exactly what I wanted and fits wonderfully. I would definitely order again from her.

More information
Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
If you want your new swimsuit to have a long life, always hand wash your swimsuit in cold water, using a mild dish soap. The dish soap helps break down oils and lotions. Never put your swimsuit in the washing machine and never wring it out. All swimwear fabric is delicate and made of nylon with tiny elastics that will break, deteriorate over time in a spin cycle, stretching out and weakening the fabric. Always wash your swimsuit after every use, especially after being in a chlorinated swimming pool or hot tub, and then lay flat or hang to dry.
Avoid sitting on or leaning up against abrasive surfaces such as pool ledges and anything with velcro, as these things will snag your swimsuit.
Return & Exchange Policies
Since all swimwear is made to order and can take up to several hours to make, I do not accept returns unless there is a defect or mistake on my part, so please make your selection carefully. I do accept exchanges within 7 days of receiving your order.
Custom and personalized orders
All swimsuits are custom made to order to your specifications, but if you have a design or something particular in mind that you would like custom made, please send me a message and we'll discuss!
What is your size range?
In my listings the sizes range from XXS to 6XL, but I can make any size requested.
