How to Fix a See Through Swimsuit

Last updated on March 10th, 2021 at 10:37 am

Have you ever bought a new swimsuit only to go into the water and come out looking like you are auditioning to be in a shoot for the playboy or GQ cover? This tends to happen when you buy most fashion-centric swimsuits that claim to be quick drying.

If you are like me, this can make you uncomfortable, especially in public pools or at a public beach. So how do you fix see-through swimsuits?

Add a Liner

This will help to prevent revealing everything to the world when your see-through swimsuit is wet. First, you need to shop for a stretchy fabric blend in a darker or nude color.

Things You Need

Measuring tape
Lining fabric
Fabric marker or chalk
Scissors
Pins
Sewing machine
Sewing notions

Lay your lining fabric on a flat surface, then place the swimsuit on top and trace the layout of your swimsuit using the fabric marker or chalk. Then add an inch around the border of the outline to account for the sewing edge. Measure your swimming costume to make sure you have the correct size lining fabric before you cut it.

Then proceed to cut the lining fabric and pin it in the inner side of your swimsuit. Then sew the two pieces together. Ensure you do a professional job to avoid looking like you are wearing a tattered swimsuit that was stitched together haphazardly.

Get Bra Cups

This will be an absolute lifesaver as they will stop your nipples from showing through the bathing suit. This process is much easier than adding a lining to your swimsuit. Start by choosing a cup that will fit the design of your swimsuit. Then decide whether you want wire-free or wired bra cups.

You can buy a new bra cups from a store. But the better option would be to cut out cups from your old bras as they already fit you. Insert the bra cups between the swimsuit lining and the bra and pin them in place.

Then check for fitting before sewing them in place. You can even use basic stitching and adjust it until you get the perfect placement. You can also make DIY cups that are light but still offer nipple coverage.

You can also use nipple covers if you just want to hide the nipples.

Swimsuit Cover-Ups

Invest in a swimwear cover-up to keep roaming eyes at bay when you get out of the water. This will help keep you decent and offer you the coverage to allow you to lounge poolside or by the beach without feeling uncomfortable.

Options

Here are some affordable swimsuit cover-up options you can order on amazon before the summer season officially begins.

Layer Swimsuits

Another option to stay appropriately covered when your swimsuit is wet is to wear multiple swimsuits. This has, in recent years, become a fashion statement in itself as it allows you to jazz up a plain swimsuit while providing coverage. In case some of your swimwear pieces are too risqué to be worn to public beaches and swimming pools.

What to Wear Under a Swimsuit

This is all dependent on your taste and preferences. But here are some of the most common trends when it comes to wearing multiple swimsuits at once. You can even wear pieces with contrasting colors for a unique, fashion-forward look.
