    Hi everyone! I forgot to mention in the video that I used swim fabric I had at home for the lining. Also the material of the dress is actually great for swim, for those of you wondering. If you want to try this out, be smart with your choice of fabric, choose something that has a lot of stretch and possibly waterproof 😄❤️👙

    Since you forgot to mention it, it is important to use an elastic that is specifically for swimsuits. Otherwise, once it's wet from swimming, the elastic will stretch out too much and the swimsuit won't stay together properly :)

    For anyone trying this with sensitive skin, I highly, HIGHLY recommend encasing ANY exposed elastic in fabric before wearing to prevent a rash or skin irritation. Great tutorial!

  • @LilOtakuAngy
    @LilOtakuAngy 9 років тому

    great video! for a little less bulk in the bottoms you can serge the back and front crotch seams with the lining and main fabric at the same time- just flip one of the linings to the other side, which you flip back after serging to cover the seam- have a look at commercial undies or swimsuits and you'll see what I mean. Its also great to do this to the sides before adding elastic, also for less bulk
