A Stylish Top with Athletic Support

The Zola Swim top features a racerback silhouette paired with a front zipper closure, creating a look that is equal parts chic and practical. The racerback design offers comfort and freedom of movement, while the zip-front detail adds a bold, modern edge. This top is ideal for anyone who wants swimwear that feels supportive without sacrificing style. It’s perfect for active beach days, swimming laps, paddle boarding, or simply enjoying the sunshine with confidence.


Full Coverage Bottoms Made for Movement

The Zola bottoms are designed with a flattering high-waisted fit and full-coverage shortie style, giving you the comfort and security to move through your day with ease. Whether you're chasing kids through the sand, playing beach volleyball, or going for a seaside walk, these bottoms stay put while keeping you comfortable.


Looking for even more versatility? The pattern also includes a skort option, adding a fun and functional layer that transitions beautifully from beachwear to boardwalk strolls.





Endless Color Blocking Possibilities

One of the standout features of the Zola Swim Set is its color blocked design. This gives you endless opportunities to get creative with your fabric choices.

Mix solids with prints, pair bold colors with neutrals, or combine tropical florals with sporty stripes. Whether you love a minimalist monochrome look or bright playful combinations, Zola lets you create a swimsuit that feels completely your own.

It’s also a fantastic project for using up swim fabric scraps while creating something truly custom.
