njtwinmom Posted September 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I just ordered a bathing suit that I really like, but it's a little too revealing on the top. I attached a picture. It doesn't look too low cut, but it is. Is there some kind of trim I can add to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostAgain Posted September 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have fixed a few shirts that I thought were too revealing. Maybe this will work with a bathing suit, too? To try it and see if it will work without being bunched up funny, pin it, try it on and see how it looks before you sew. All I do is add a few stitches to bring the middle seam up a little further so it is not so low-cut. Am I explaining that so you can understand?

njtwinmom Posted September 27, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I understand what you are saying. I had thought about sewing it up a little and then taking up the straps. Then I thought maybe a trim, but that might not really look good. I'll try pinning it first and then sew it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2008 What's revealing about that???? Go with it! Unless the top is too small, and you're spilling out over the cups, don't worry about it! It's a cute suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarryBugg Posted September 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2008 What's revealing about that???? Go with it! Unless the top is too small, and you're spilling out over the cups, don't worry about it! It's a cute suit! If the OP feels it's too revealing.... it probably is. Even if it isn't what you call too revealing, she's already stated that SHE thinks it is. Why should she be uncomfortable? If she's going to be even more self-conscious in a bathing suit than one already normally is, what's the point? OP: You can by Lycra/swimsuit material at a fabric store. You could pick a coordinating color (red, animal print :eek: maybe? :D My eyes aren't that good tonight and I can't tell if it's just a black and white bathing suit) or same color and sew a triangle in between the bust/cleavage area. That is, if it doesn't bunch together well when you pin it close. Good luck! :D ETA: I just clicked on the pic and, obviously red nor animal print would work!! LOL Geeze... I must need sleep. It's a cute suit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLLund Posted September 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2008 My new suit was too revealing also .. and then I realized the straps were too long .. I fixed that and it is fine. So pin the straps first and see if that work .. then you may only need a stitch or two at the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted September 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I also thought of taking up the straps. I wouldn't add any trim, etc. It is a cute suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
