TA3 on ‘Shark Tank’: Cost, founder, and more about mega sculpting swimsuits

All set to impress Shark Tank investors, fashion designer Leila Shams will showcase her business on the show. Her company is called TA3, which makes mega sculpting swimsuits.

Shams wanted to create a comfortable yet sculpting bathing suit so that she could confidently dive into a swimming pool or relax at a beach. The concept is similar to shapewear or bodysuit, but the fabric is waterproof.

On the About Us page on the TA3 site, Shams talked about the struggle she went through to come up with the product. She said:

“It took me almost three years and hundreds of prototypes & fittings to create something waterproof that really supports and sculpts.”
