Abstract
A swimsuit includes a swimsuit body and a binding assembly. The swimsuit body includes multiple panels that are sewn together along multiple seams. The panels are made from a first fabric material and together define a body opening. The binding assembly includes a binding material and an elastic member. The binding material may also be made from the first fabric material and is sewn to the swimsuit body along a perimeter of the body opening. The elastic member is secured with the binding material along a length of the binding assembly. The swimsuit body may be formed of one or more outer panels and one or inner panels formed of the same material as the outer panel(s). The first fabric material may include material derived from plastic fibers (e.g., from recycled plastic bottles).
