Any tips for getting sand out of a bathing suit?

[AnnetteF]

DD2 was wearing her brand new Baby Gap bathing suit yesterday and was playing with her sandbox. Now I can't get the sand out of the bathing suit. It is light pink and I have soaked it twice and washed it twice and the sand is still trapped in the fabric. It is just such a cute suit - I hate to see it ruined. It is dry now and I am able to pick little specks of sand out of it but there are hundreds of them. Does anyone have any advice?

Is it just stuck on the fabric? Does your vacuum have an attachment hose? Try vacuuming it. Or maybe tape.

Do you have a sticky lint roller? Or tape?
