I had bought this swimsuit earlier this year and it was a little low in the front and I liked how cute it was and thought it could easily be made more modest. I bought some stretchy swim suit fabric at the fabric store and placed it where I wanted it to go. Black seemed the obvious choice of fabric. I used the lines that were already sewn in the neck line and just used some matching thread and sewed it in place.
Because the fabric does not ravel, I just trimmed the fabric close to the lines that I had sewn.
After it was trimmed it looked like this.
Now the little insert is in place!
See how I used the existing lines to sew in on.
There, I feel so much more modest!

super cute suit. i should probably have you do that on, well, all of mine!
Looks great! I popped over from 'Take a Look Tuesday' at SugarBee Crafts
That looks much better! Love it.
What a clever idea - I never thought of altering a swimsuit! I have yet to find one that I like since having my daughter 6 years ago... the ones that look the 'best' don't hold the 'girls' in very well though... I am going to have to look for some stretchy swimsuit fabric and try this myself!!! Thanks for the idea; p.s. I found you via the Penny Pinching Party at The Thrifty Home! :) Nice to meet you, and God Bless!
Great idea and it looks great too. I'm visiting from the crafty Soiree.

that's a great idea!!!
Such a great idea! I can definitely see myself doing this to some of my swim suits too :)
I have altered a lot of things but, never a swim suit. Thank you for expanding my horizons!
I have the same problem with one of my swimsuits and have been using a black tank top, but this makes so much more sense! Thanks!
A great look. I wish more suits were actually designed this way. Thanks for sharing.
