How to tailor a bandeau bikini
- You need enough plastic fiber fabric in a fancy fabric. For a size 40, a piece of fabric measuring 1.3 x 1 meter is sufficient.
- Then the best thing to do is to get a pattern for the bandeau bikini.
- For the top you need the measurements of your chest circumference measured on the chest and the width that you measure vertically across the chest. Add 2 cm to each for the hem.
- The top has its widest part in the middle of the chest and tapers towards the back.
- For the closure you can either sew in an extra bikini closure or you can let the side parts run out long. Then you can tie a bow with the resulting ribbons.
- When you have measured the dimensions, cut the upper part twice.
- Place the two pieces on top of each other with the right side of the fabric and sew both parts up to the wide part in the middle of the chest at the top and bottom. Here you leave approx. 5 cm open for the drawstring.
- Now turn the top over to the right and start working on the drawstring. To do this, make 3 vertical seams in the middle of the chest part and one on the inside of the chest and one in between. It is best to sew these seams from the inside of the top, then it will look nicer.
- Now take the cord and thread it through the tunnel so that the cord goes into one tunnel and comes out of the other.
- Your bandeau bikini top is ready!

- Cut out your blank and sew it onto the side pieces. It is best to use a lock stitch for this. sew Again from the left side so that you have the seams on the inside.
