Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Leah on April 13, 2008, 12:42:43 pm The Burkini (also spelled: burqini, or bourkini) is modest swimwear, originally developed for muslim women, but it's also great swimwear for any girl/woman who for whatever reason doesn't like to swim in an ordinary bathing suit or bikini.
Muslim women typically wear their burkini with a hijab (muslim head covering), but since I'm not a muslim, I choose not to make them. My sims swim without head covering. I made two sets of four burkini's: one set for teens, and one set for adults. My burkini's are a maxis recolor and base-game compatible; you don't need a mesh or any EP for them to show up in your game.

Once the adult ones were done, the teen burkini's were just a copy and paste job. :D Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: BeosBoxBoy on April 22, 2008, 03:09:49 pm very cool! We needed something like this made for a very long time! Thank you!
Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Leah on April 22, 2008, 05:39:30 pm Awww, thank you BBB!
I just had to make them. Since I'm not comfortable swimming in ordinary swimwear, I figured my sims needed burkini's too. :) Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: denalia on April 23, 2008, 11:17:43 am wow thanks for making these, i just read an article about burkinis a few weeks ago. this makes my day. thanks

Thanks so much. I'm Muslim and I love these swim suits. Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Leah on April 24, 2008, 04:01:15 pm Thank you Amar.
That really means a lot to me, that a Muslim loves my burkini's - I take that as a huge compliment. :) Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Leah on May 09, 2008, 11:20:56 am Thanks. :)

Have fun with the burkini. :) Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: monica21 on May 17, 2008, 05:28:35 pm OMG, gurlie, I am a Muslim also and this is the first I've even hear of this. I am so excited, and I really love this. I've been figuring out for so long what my muslim sims could swim in. I started using the ninja female outfits lol, until bon voyage had a scooba outfit then I used that. But for some reason it disapared when I downloaded freetime, so I went back to the ninja outfits. Now I don't have to use those anymore thanks to you YAY. Thank you so much your so cool. I also been figuring out what I could wear when I take my kids to the pool. I always have to wear a really thin light wait pants and tee shirt to swim in. And now me and my teen girls could make something like this to wear. I never thought to do this.
Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Moon Jaguar on June 23, 2008, 05:03:27 pm Oh wonderful! I wanted modern fuller-coverage swimwear for my sims, thank you! I've got Victorian-thru-1920s swimming suits, which are nice, but I wanted something like surf shirts and pants and other modern modest clothing. Thankyou thankyou THANKYOU! :clap: :clap:
These'll be a great addition for my pale-as-paste sims of any creed so it's more like life. In real life I'm ordering a sun-protective suit with almost this amount of coverage because I'm paler than the Pleasant twins and am allergic to most sunblocks. I go out in the sun and feel like this :blob6: in five minutes! Plus I prefer a suit that stays ON when I swim laps or dive off the diving board. Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: chibymethos on July 14, 2008, 11:44:53 am Thank you. I greatly dislike showing too much skin, and these do the cover up trick very nicely. :D
Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: Leah on August 14, 2008, 05:50:14 pm Thank you all for your lovely comments; they mean so much to me. :)
Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: heartless on October 22, 2008, 12:46:26 am wow, this is really a good job! there are tons and tons of sexy swimwear for sims... but this is quite needed. and not only are they modest, they are actually cute too. :)
ps. i'm not even muslim but if they had ones that were pretty like these ones in real life (the little dress part over the pants part) i would be tempted to buy one because i have the skin of a vampire... i seriously sunburn in five minutes. :( Title: Burkini - modest swimwear for your teens Post by: whitewaterwood on November 26, 2008, 10:14:41 pm It's a really good idea, but it could do with some proper shading on the legs and arms. Other than that, a good idea!
