"Here we have an underwire bikini top with the regular bikini bottoms. Not side tied. Just plain old bathing suit. Again this is adapted from my lingerie collection. I like to use the stripes because it does give it more of a bathing suit sporty flare. When you're designing things you could do boy shorts at the bottom. You could do anything stripes and if they're diagonal will always work. Obviously you're designing on a very skinny person. But in reality when it goes to actually implementing your ideas in fabric skinny people wear diagonal stripes. That's just key to remember. And we have a teeny tiny bikini that's very, very low cut. There's the belly button. It hits right in the middle of the hips. Thin straps on the side. Then I didn't make her my lines. Then obviously underwire bra. Pretty self explanatory. And then add your stripes. And then add a little bit of you. And that's it."
