This selflined bandeau bikini is super simple to make. It's only made of 4rectangles and doesn't use very much fabric. I was able to make it with 1/4meter each color. This bandeau could easily cost less than $10, or maybe evenfree if you have some scrap fabric laying around!

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. (Eg. 34 inches)
2nd Measurement:
Take the 1st Measurement and divide that number in half. Add about an inchto that number for seam allowance. (Eg. 34/2 + 1 = 18 inches)
3rd Measurement:
Measure how much vertical coverage you want. Add about an inch to thatnumber for seam allowance. (Eg. 6 + 1 = 7 inches)
4th Measurement:
Take the 3rd Measurement and add about 2 inches. (Eg. 7 + 2 = 9 inches)
Cut:
2 rectangles of fabric with the dimensions of 2nd Measurement x 3rdMeasurement for the front pieces. I used 2 different colors, so I cut onerectangle of each.2 rectangles of fabric with the dimensions of 1st Measurement x 4thMeasurement for the back pieces. I used 2 different colors, so I cut one rectangle of each.
Make sure you cut your fabric so that the stretch is going lengthwise. You maywant to cut out paper pattern pieces first to make sure you have the correctmeasurements.

Cool design wish i could make that but not that good with fabric
PetrichorXFi (/member/PetrichorXFi/)
Cool design.
One possible change, shorten the ties in the back. It looks a bit large for yourbodysize, unless perhaps your goal is to stand out a bit with the unique style.Also, if swimming it may be a bit of a drag despite being swim suit material. Ifplaying Volleyball the longer ties may get in the way...

That's a good point. I liked the look of the oversized bow, but the tiescould always be shortened later.

If the longer ties are more "you" or "your style", then let them be. I wasmostly being a dude and thinking of functiom over form :p
I do like thay the ties arw not like a ribbon, bowtie, or shoelace... you'rea person after all, not some Christmas/Birthday gift.

That is fantastic. Welldocumented, reproducible, inexpensive, and cute. Notnecessarily in that order.
