So what was wanted was swimsuit lore, right?
No? Well, it's what I doodled in my sketchbook and typed up while away from any word documents, so don't think of it as replacing anything. Though I do want to render these digitally like the last set of swimwear drawings.
Any swimwear shown isn't contemporary to Pasta Commander- not that Mountainfolk wear bathing suits anyways.
1.
Bathing Suit Maddy
This is the one she wore in the beach visit in the honeymoon- albeit with a sarong some of the time. Except here she is at a bath. After all, she can't swim, and has never swum in this, so it is not a swimsuit. Strossvald, being landlocked and having no beaches besides riversides and fishing ponds, is not the center of swimwear fashion. Bathing, on the other hand, has plenty of enthusiasts, even if the root of <span class="mu-i">clothed</span> bathing is Alexandrian morality laws concerning public bathing houses.
2.
Atom Suit Mathilda
Mathilda in an atom suit- a controversial "swimsuit" for a controversial person, especially since Strossvald has no actual beaches, so this would likely be at a spring, lake, or private pool- in any case hardly a place for the general public.
Despite the salacious rumors regarding such private gatherings in such costume, anything more than gossip and whispers resulting from such is seen as poor craft- a tempting debutante at an exclusive court with no veil of mystique regarding their true debauchery is barely better than a tavern wench, after all.
