Cheap Floral Bikini

Hi everyone! I know this is bit of a DIY post but I didn't think it was DIYish enough to be posted on my Wednesday DIY posts and because I have loads coming up! (hope your looking forwards to it). So about a year ago I saw this bikini in Asda and fell in love, however they only had sizes 36 B/C and above and I'm only 32 B but I brought it anyway because it was really cheap (about £6) and I really liked it.  But because it was too big, I hardly wore it. So I was sorting through my bikinis for this summer and kept looking at it really wanting to pack it! It then came to me that I could perhaps 'up-cycle' it a bit to make it look not as big as it really is and it worked a treat! Woohoo!

To get to the final product I sewed the cups in place on the inside and trimmed them a bit. I used a strap to fasten the middle as its more faltering, to do this I just went around twice and tied a secure knot, then leaving me with one strap, which is still detachable. It is still a little big as I cant work magic, especially with my sewing machine left in Plymouth :/ but I'm definitely going to pack it this holiday as it fits a lot better than before.

Hope this has inspired you to DIY your bikini this summer! What do you think of the outcome? 

Hope you are well,

Holly
