Draping a One Piece Swimsuit Part 1: I Refuse to buy another ill fitting suit!

Just popping up some pics of my soon to be one piece...hopefully. I haven't draped in years so designers don't be going in on me. I don't own a one piece to cop the pattern so I gotta wing this one. Old school fashion school draping. I want it to fit like whoa you know... I buy swimsuits and they start getting all saggy booty on me and squishing what little bit of boob I have. I said it last year that I was going to make myself a hell of a fitted suit but I got mad busy and I should have started this one months ago, but I wasn't near my machines! But now I'm back and I'm about to see how fast I can get this bad boy under the machine needle. Summer beaches are about to get warm so I need to be ready! I anticipate a few adjustments but ima get this right. First swimsuit ever! Please be cute!
