I guess you can get a plain one & just add whatever you want on it to make it look nicer... What show are you planning to enter this year?

Hard to explain without showing... :/ The straps should be long enough to bring them behind your back & tie them on the opposite side of your bikini bottom... Does it make sense? Maybe Rachael can post a pic... ______________________ "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars." | |

It's just unfortunately when I did it, it pulled the bikini right up at th sides and made the back gape out... May get out my needle and cotton again though and have another crack. Also, what do ladies who compete in UKBFF do when they have to wear one pieces for bodyfitness? |

she made the costumes for about 70% of the finalists at the NPA British last year as well as makes all the cozzies for Helen Thwaites & I believe Cheryl Steele has just got some from her too. ______________________ APPLIED KNOWLEDGE, IS POWER!!!

 Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 19 Rep Power: | morning everyone your best bet is to have a look on the high street for a bikini you really like that fits you well, most bikinis can be made into show bikinis easy with the help of a pack of pins and a willing helper. just make sure the bottoms arent too big! if your competing in nabba then thongs are always best. for these you maybe better off having i look in the knicker section, just make sure there not sheer! for adornments( sp) your local haberdashery will be best. this pink bikini was from a sexy clothing company and i fell in love with it. it was really easy to adapt, because all the sides tied. the neck tie i left the same. the back tie i just crossed and sewed in to the sides and then i left the tie bottoms.  this black one was just a normal bikini i think i made the neck straps longer, instead of tieing behind the neck i crossed them over the back and then sewed then in at the opposite sides then back straps i didnt cross i just sewed into the same side on the bottom  on the front for a bit of extra sparkle i sewed on some lace with sequins on  i perfere to make my own cos i know they will fit right but some companys do made to measure bikinis only problem is to get it on time you have to guess what your measurments will be at show time. hope this helps Last edited by bettyboo; 09-01-2007 at 03:02 PM. |
