Bathing Suit Fashion Design: Simple Strapless & Side Cutouts

Video Transcript

"This bathing suit I created referencing a bathing suit I had when I was really young, that I loved. It was like, wild eighties colors, leopard print, but it did this same cutting, out, the cut out thing and of course, I was like eight, so it wasn't strapless. It had straps, but that's where this silhouette came from, and I like it like this, without the straps. And, given the brown around it, attitude, as like a seaming detail. That would be really cool, if it were the actual thread that you used on the Lycra of the bathing suit, in a contrasting color. That would give it a really subtle hint of something different. Just a thought. But, obviously, it's a strapless bathing suit and then at the bottom of the rib cage, is where you start the first cut out, down to the middle of the hip. And then obviously, on the same, same place as on the other side. We need to draw it on a model that's got a hip flared out. It's not, you're never going to have it exactly even, but don't worry about that. Because that's the way the body moves. And then, modest leg openings, because of the skin that's showing."
