What our Exelnt Friends are Saying!
"The suits,cover-up, sarongs,and interchangeable bottoms I’ve personally purchased
are so nicely made with high quality materials, attention to details and care. Over the years I have had several suits custom made to fit me by Exelnt Designs and I will be back again soon! I can honestly say I’ve never been happier than with a great fitting and wearing suit from Exelnt designs. They are well worth the money because not only are you getting a beautiful, high quality suit but also a great wearing and lasting addition to your summer wardrobe."

"As a breast cancer survivor that is awaiting reconstructive surgery, naturally shopping for a bathing suit is stressful! Trish and her team were amazing every step of the way! She heard my concerns about how I looked and what I liked. She pushed me a little bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm sure glad she did! The finished product looks AMAZING and I feel very confident in it! Words cannot express my thanks, you've given me back my summer this year!"

"So happy to have found this place! Liz and Trish were AWESOME! Liz worked hard to find my size and style I liked and I was able to walk out with two Tankini tops. I will definitely be back for another custom made suit!"

Best swimsuit buying experience ever!!! I went to the store, not really knowing what to expect. Wow, the selection was amazing and the quality beyond compare. I ended up buying 2 suits with matching cover-ups. I was the envy at the lake this weekend. Perfect fit, perfect construction, true to size. Do not hesitate to order on-line, you won't be disappointed!"

"I've been buying suits from here since the mid 90's, custom as well as off the rack. Ladies, if you want a swimsuit that truly fits, you should check this place out! Especially if you're a curvy gal &/or are "top heavy" as I am! Yes, they cost more than a swimsuit from a department store, but in this case, you get exactly what you pay for & that would be an accurately fitted swimsuit. Make sure to follow their directions on how to take care of your suit & why wouldn't you?! You're paying a good amount of money for a fantastic suit, so of course you want it to last for more than a swim season (which here in MI is maybe 5 months out of a year!). Great customer service too!"

All items are Made in the USA -- Warren, MI to be more precise. The sales gals are very helpful in providing styles / sizes / materials that make you look and feel good. The products are incredibly well made and last a long time. Their experience is worth the trip. Just plan on spending some time trying on the huge variety of items they have in stock.

"I asked Custom Swimwear to make me a suit similar to one I already had that I just love. The designer did everything I asked and also suggested a few excellent design changes that were perfect for me. The new suit is absolutely beautiful and the sewing craftsmanship is top-notch. I also purchased a matching cover-up that is gorgeous too! If you hate shopping for a bathing suit - like me - this is the best shop to find that perfect suit. Thanks to everyone at Custom Swimwear!"

And they LAST for years with proper care. Have one that is 5 years old and still looks great! So the expense is WORTH it! Check this site out! Suits for every body size and taste!"

"This is the second time I have ordered swim wear from Exelnt Designs. It is perfect for anyone but especially if you're hard to fit. I am busty and need a supportive bathing suit top- those flimsy shelf bras that you get with the standard dept. store bathing suits don't cut it. Exelnt Designs has a great selection of fabric patterns and bathing suit styles to fit every figure type. You can order a bathing suit top in your bra size. Just what the doctor ordered for us curvy girls! The thing that really sets them apart is their customer service."
Lisa T – San Jose California 11/5/14
"It is a joy to speak with intelligent people that know their business, are about their work and pleasing their clients.
This company does excellent swimwear, for us gals that struggle with “off sizes” They get suits made in a timely manner, fair pricing excellent follow through with any “extra special” requests, they are always helpful and obliging."
Barbara B – Santa Ana California 10/13/14
"I have just received my fourth swimsuit handcrafted from exelnt designs and once again I am so pleased with the quality and the fit. I just wanted to take the time to thank you."
Judith C - Northlake Illinois 10/11/2014
"Every year I attempt to purchase a new swimsuit, knowing full well I will probably be disappointed, but looking to save a few dollars. This year, I tried again and pretty much failed. Your company never failed me with any of the suits you made me in the past, so I ordered two new ones and decided not to cry about the cost. Both had to be made from scratch and with a rush because I am leaving on vacation. They arrived yesterday and they are perfect! Please thank your seamstress and accept my most sincere and happy thank you for being the only company that understands and truly services the forgotten, curvy women who love the beach."
— Anne from New York
"I cannot thank you enough for making my daughter look forward to summer. She is only 16 and CANNOT find something even close to fitting her top. She ordered two tops, loved one and sent the other one back and got another (same cut) in a different color. We were leaving out of town and received our order before we left!. I know of so many young girls having the same problem. I am more than excited to tell them about ExcelntDesigns. Once again thank you for my daughter, and thank you from a Mom who will be ordering every spring!!"
— Sally from California
"I received my very first order today and I just have to say that the swimsuits I ordered fit amazing!!! I can't thank you enough for making me feel so good in a swimsuit. I haven't felt like that in years! I have spent hundreds of dollars ordering swimsuits that never fit and constantly returning them...it was very frustrating and depressing. I finally found a place to shop for swimsuits permanently from now on!! Keep up the great suits and know that I am referring all my friends and family to your store!"
— Shannon from Michigan
"I have found my Exelnt bikini to be the most comfortable, ever. Anytime someone asks about the suit, I point them to you. I have never wondered if the cups would keep me contained and have been able to play basketball and horseplay in the pool with a sense of security. I cannot tell you 'Thank You!' enough."
— Chloie from Oregon
"I received my swim suit. Yea!!! It fits!! Thank u so much for working with me to get a good fit. I am very happy!!"
— Elaine from Texas
"I wanted to send an email, to let you know how thrilled I am with my new swimsuits. I had some minor alterations on the skirts and tankinis, and they came out perfect. This was my first time ordering from you, and I will probably never go elsewhere again. The suits you have for the larger breast size, with an underwire are perfect for me. I finally feel like I am wearing a suit with support. I worked with Robin on my order, and she was wonderful to work with. She knew what she was talking about, and was able to guide me to find the perfect suit and fit."
— Merrill from New York
"I just received my bathing suit today and am so pleased with the fit and everything about it. Thank you so much...I plan on ordering another suit from you...first time I've had a bathing suit fit so well. Thank you."
— Cheryl from Michigan
"I just received my tankini, and I am just thrilled! The quality is extraordinary, and the fit is like nothing I have ever experienced! It looks and feels great on. Thank you so much! I will always be purchasing my suits from exelntdesigns!"
— Cindy from Pennyslvania
"Just wanted to say, I LOVE IT!! Just received my second tankini top and kimono coverup, and the coverup matches my first built-for-me tankini top. They fit like a dream, and are darling! Can't wait to wear them on my upcoming cruise, where I'm sure I will be the queen of the pool. What an excellent fit and fabric and construction it is. So nice to get custom fit for myself, I really appreciate the fast shipping also."
— Barbara from Tennessee
"I just had to write to tell you about my most recent experience with Exelnt Designs. Last week Friday as I was preparing for next vacation I realized I was in desparate need of a new tankini top. My old Exelnt design top was worn out after about six years. I had no idea which style it was but loved it. The lady on the phone was so very helpful in assisting me figure out which style it was and helped me place a new order. The new suit arrived yesterday and I am so amazed at this wonderful suit. It actually fits my large bust without me having to order 3 sizes bigger. Love you guys please don't ever stop doing what you do."
— Michelle from Illinois
Hi, Trish:
I just tried on the bathing suit you made for me with the new additions to the pattern. It’s perfect! I let it sit here for a bit before I had to guts to try it on, but I’m beyond thrilled with it. The material is perfect. The fit…..it’s perfect. Actually comfortable!
Please Please Please save this pattern as I will be ordering a second one to have on hand once I build up a little extra cash.
Again, thank you so much! Great job!
: )
