inspiration: contrast bow swimsuit by ted baker $116
i love this swimsuit. but the only size they had in stock was a size 34DD, and this might come as a total shock to you, but i’m not a 34DD. it’s hard to believe, i know, I told you its a shocker! π so my next best option was to make it myself.
before/after:
i made a white bow waist-tie using extra fabric from my white swimsuit top that was a tad too long. then i put it on my black one-piece swimsuit i already own. i put snaps on the waist-tie so that i can attach it on any swimsuit i want! so simple and easy but makes a big difference!
i am looking for a black one-piece similar to the original one but haven’t found one yet. this is the closest i could find within my budget, but i love the clean lines of the ted baker swimsuit. so if you see something closer, let me know, will ya? π

It's amazing how much the bow adds to the swimsuit. I also love that you didn't attach it directly to the swimsuit. I love the idea of it being intercahngable!

I saw one on an ideeli sale the other day but I can't remember what brand it was! If I see another or if they do another run of it I'll let you know…Or if you want an invite to ideeli to watch for it yourself let me know π

Your's looks every bit as good as the designer suit and you definitely rock the suit!

Talitha says
Oh wow, such a simple bow and it makes it look fantastic!
I have been hunting a nice fitting 1 piece for ages. The main problem I have is in the boob region as I'm pretty small, and love my padding haha. Yet to find the perfect one!
