FROM LITTLE BLACK DRESS TO SWIMSUIT
For those who attended my shop's Anniversary Fashion Show, you'll probably remember this swimsuit I wore in Boracay was worn as Little Black Dress by my friend-slash-HUEnique Ex-Brand Ambassador, Nic Magquilat.
MATERIALS USED
Little Black Dress, Stretchable Tulle, Scissors, Tailor's Chalk, Pins, Thread, Needle, Seam Ripper, Thread Cutter, Measuring Tape, Ruler
STEP 1: Since the dress you're reinventing is yours, no need to measure your body size. Trace your desired design for your swimsuit right away.
STEP 2: Fold the dress in half, make sure to pin it to keep it in position.
STEP 3: Cut the traced lines, and make sure to add an allowance. Remain some fabric for the crotch. Then, remove the excess fabric.
STEP 4: Pin the stretchable tulle to the parts of the dress you cut to add some style. Then, sew it together even the crotch.
STEP 5: Measure the length of your thigh to crotch for your hemline.Â
STEP 6: Get some excess fabric to make a hemline. Again, leave an allowance.
STEP 7: Fold the hemline and put in some pins. Sew the edges then reverse it to make it invisible.
STEP 8: Pin the bottom part of the hemline and the bottom part of the swimsuit together.
STEP 9: Flip it and sew it with the wrong-side-out.
As you noticed, I made a classic swimsuit for you, and prefer not to wear bikini bottoms. Remember, you can still be fab at the beach without showing too much. Show less and be the best!
