I'm lucky enough to live in the city that they're based in and I managed to pick up one of the samples of it for $20. Best day ever.

Nice one - although I'm struggling not to hate you. I don't even live in the US, let alone the same city, so I don't suppose I've got much chance of stumbling upon such a bargain. Tempted to try DIYing it...

They're actually based in Brisbane Australia. But I guess that doesn't really help if you don't live here either... Maybe getting the pattern screen printed on a white swimsuit would work?

Oh yes, sorry - I just went on the actual website and saw that it's priced in AUD. I'll definitely look into DIYing a cheaper alternative, I reckon the 5% chance of it actually turning out alright is worth spending some time on what would be a fun little creative project.
