tailoring a bikini?

[photon]

is this possible? i have a cute bikini, but the band is definitely too big for me. is this a simple fix for a tailor?

I asked a couple of tailors once. They told me it wasn't possible b/c they didn't have they right type of sewing machines for the thick material. I call bull.

this is what i was afraid of. it seems so simple, though!

My mom (who used to do alterations professionally) made some nips and tucks to my bath suit. She doesn't have a special machine, I think she just had to buy a thicker needle.

Some might not because they don't work with stretchy fabrics. But it's not actually that difficult to do. Just a matter of getting a ball point needle (available at any sewing store), and sometimes different thread. But otherwise it's not difficult.

Do u have any shops near you that make swimsuits or dancewear? They might be able to do it for you
