More modest bathing suits?

I came across an article today about more modest bathings suits being manufactured for those who wish to show less skin, or who are concerned about sun damage, or who prefer to cover up for religious or any other reason.

I wonder if they would have a market on QVC.

One of the comments made by a wearer is that she thought the lifeguards thought she looked cool in her outfit because it looked like surfer gear.

It just occurred to me that if you had skirted leggings, you would have half of a new bathing suit combo.

There is a more prononced swing to more modest bathing suit. One reason is a sharp shift in the population, In Europe and the U.S. This is one of the new buyers of swimware. More religious women. Many swimware buyers had to consider this.

That's exactly right. What the article pointed out is that women used to have to put together their own suits, for the most part, but now there are a few more manufacturers that create and sell this type of clothing.
