Even going to the beach in a minimum of clothing, you can stay in trend - for example, decorating a swimsuit with details that an ordinary bikini can turn into fashionable.

A swimsuit decorated with scallops is one of the trends in beach fashion this season. You can turn a regular bikini into a fashionable one using a special braid.
You will need:

- a simple swimsuit;
- wide braid of the "snake" type (you can use the braid of the same color as the swimsuit, as in this example, or contrasting - the effect will be slightly different);
- pins;
- scissors;
- needle and thread.
1. Put the braid on the sides of the top of the swimsuit, measure the desired length and cut, adding a small margin.

2. Begin to pin the braid with pins to those sides of the swimsuit that you are about to decorate. Pin the braid from the inside so that future scallops peek out. Leave a small piece of braid on each edge to tuck and then process it.

3. Attach the braid to all the necessary parts of the swimsuit, taking care not to pull off the elastic edges of the parts.

Ruffles and ruffles are another fashionable item that can transform an ordinary swimsuit. Pay attention to the fact that frills, wherever they are sewn, become an accent, plus - add the parts of the body on which they are located, volume and expressiveness.
You will need:

In the role of the attention-grabbing detail, fringe works even harder than frills and ruffles. So if you want to make your swimsuit unusual, visually add volume where it does not hurt, emphasize the figure, fringe is one of the best options.
You will need:
- swimsuit;
- fabric for fringe (optimally - a special fabric for swimwear: polyester with lycra, supplex, etc.);
- tailor's sharp scissors;
- pins;
- a needle and thread if you will sew by hand, or a sewing machine and thread if you prefer to sew on the machine.
1. Cut out the fringe detail. To do this, lay the fabric on the work surface, lay the flattened bikini part on top, as shown in the photo, and extend the lines of the bikini part to the desired length. Repeat for the second bikini detail.
