We all know that when summer comes around, all the women want to make sure that they look good in their bikinis. Not just good – absolutely breathtaking is more like it. But what if the pool or beach-side is not where you want to be flaunting it? Many women are curious about how to turn their cute bikinis into a sexy set of lingerie. To be honest, it’s really not that hard. With a bikini, it’s only four triangles of fabric that can only be crafted so many different ways. In general, there are quite a few different methods that you can use in order to make your bikini sexier and more bedroom ready.
Why Turn Your Bikini Into Lingerie?
There are many different reasons you may be tempted to make the change. You could simply want a fun “girl-time” project to do with your friends. Go out shopping together and get all the fabric and supplies that you might need and start a crafting team. It’s fun to talk while you work, and crafting is a great stress-reliever. Another reason you may be interested is because the project offers to save you money. Even though lingerie is not made of very much fabric, it is usually highly intricate and carefully designed and that is what you pay for. Lingerie can cost you quite a bit and if you are looking for an equally sexy yet cost-saving solution – making your own lingerie is the right choice. Since a bikini shows enough skin already, it is the perfect foundation for a new set of lingerie. You can stick with the two piece or you can get really creative and make it a body-suit by crafting different pieces and fabric together.
Ways to Make Your Bikini Sexy
Here are some general rules that will help you along your crafting journey. Bikinis can easily be turned into lingerie with a creative mind and the right tools.
If the top piece isn’t as sexy as you’d like it, cut around the bottom edges and insert under-wire and perhaps padding. There is nothing wrong with a little lift and under-wire is very cheap to buy.
Watch out for patterns. Patterns work to accentuate and draw attention to certain areas, don’t use a patterned fabric on a body part that perhaps you aren’t that fond of. You will always be safe with darker colors that are monochromatic. An all dark burgundy bikini would make for a wonderful start of lingerie.
You can never go wrong with lace but you can go over-board. Think about your lover and what their opinion is of it. If they have said anything about not liking lace on a person, toss the idea. If they like it, lace always looks good around the top of the bottom bikini part.
A bikini bottom can always easily be turned into a garter as well, in which case you can really spice it up by throwing on some fishnets with your bikini.
Stay away from polyester fabric. Instead, opt for anything that feels good on your skin. Some examples of this would be silk or a very smooth cotton.
Besides adding lace and support, you can always add little bow-ties to your straps and use a cute pin to turn your spaghetti straps into a halter top. Anything that makes you feel sexy and confident will be perfect. A good set of lingerie is nice, but nothing is sexier than a woman’s confidence.
