Adding Coverage to a Bathing Suit

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I have been trying to stay cool in this summer heat and that means going to the pool when I can. I found a great swim top on clearance and brought it home. I loved the wide shoulder straps. I didn't love the deep V-neck. It was too low for me.

I had this copper colored bralette and decided to use that to fill in that deep V. I put them both on my dress form and marked the size.

I turned the bralette upside down so the opaque part would be at the bottom and cut out a V-ish shape. That is going into the center of my top.

The top already had stitching along the edge so I used that as a guide and stitched right on top of it.

 

This was a small change but it made me a lot more comfortable. 

 

I hope you are having a fun summer. For more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
