This quick DIY bathing suit tutorial by YouTuber AndreasChoice teaches girls how to up-cycle their unused one-piece bathing suits into seductive monokinis for summertime swimming.
A monokini bathing suit is a one-piece swimsuit with two revealing half-moon circular cutouts along the stomach that have recently bounced back into fashion. AndreasChoice DIY bathing suit tutorial shows how to easily turn a regular one-piece suit into a chic monokini. All you have to do is take a large bowl, and trace between the hip and chest portion of the suit two half circles on either side. Then, cut the front piece of the suit along the lines and adjust the cutouts to your liking. Take an extra piece of scrap bathing suit material and cinch the left-over vertical piece along the stomach. On the back, cut the back portion of the suit from underneath the chest area to right above the bum.
