Ethically made swimwear & apparel, designed for and modeled by bodies like yours. Sizes XS - 4X

Nettle's Tale began (and continues today) with a vision of creating honest, inclusive, everyday swimwear. Launched in 2014 via a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, each swimsuit style was designed for, named after, and modeled by a different woman in owner Julia Church's life. We believe garments should work for your body, not the other way around. We believe in inclusivity, contributing to

Bad news is Julia took the last pair of 1X gingham. Good news is they’re being restocked in one week in the same gingham she took and two new colour ways!!! You can sign up on the Besa Pant product page to be first in line to be notified when they’re restocked.

Slow fashion, can be acquired slowly overtime and if pieces are chosen wisely they can last many years even with regular wear and washing an as style trends change. This is the difference paying more for fewer quality pieces can make for your enjoyment of getting dressed everyday, your wallet, the planet and your health. Great resale value as well for when you do change your mind, which is why we started our consignment rack.

Okay so not many people told me to my face they thought I was too fat for a career in fashion, but they certainly made me feel that way, but it was just more fuel for the fire to clothe a demographic WILDY under serviced by the fashion industry. Our best selling sizes are medium to 2X and this year marks our 12th year selling swimwear in sizes XS to 4X and 7 years producing our own ready to wear apparel line in the same range. Providing clothing that is patterned to fit the marginalized and the in between is not a fad to us that can be taken away my shifts in culture or ozempic. We will always be here for you if you cry leaving the average mall or you want to shop in person for once in your life after being forced for years to pay fat tax shopping online. So maybe next time you don’t see yourself represented in an industry it’s just a missed opportunity ☺️

I took our new Howe Tank for a day of climbing, lounging, and tide pool watching so I can confidently say it’s adventure ready!

We called early samples of this our “throw back tank” because of the vintage inspired fit - we wanted something a little sporty that reminded us of sleep away camps and staying out until the street lights come on.

In store now, and coming soon online 🏕️ we can’t wait to see what adventures you have in it
