    Default sequin bikini

    Anyone know where I can get a bikini set like this? Leg Avenue stuff always fits funny and tends to break. I love the fact that it's a full-back panty. Do you think it would be hard to make? A couple girls I work with sequin their own bra tops... Thanks.

    It's easy but time consuming to do.

    As someone who for the first week of dancing wore nothing but homemade sequin bikinis, I can only say: Don't attempt to make your own! Maybe it's because I am not the best seamstress in the world, but it took FOREVER to cover a single bra cup with sequins, let alone the entire structure. And the lingerie that I sequined were far skimpier than what's pictured above, so if a g-string took forever to sequin a full bottom like that would be positively agonizing. Honestly, during my sequin phase I was either sleeping, stripping, or sewing sequins. I'm not proud. It is extremely tedious. Especally when you want so many sequins that you can't see the fabric beneath them, which is what I did and which is what's in that above pic.

    I also learned the hard way that unless the sequins are silver, the pigment on them can rub off and bleed all over you. I wore a red sequin bra top and throughout the night, it managed to bleed all over my arms and it looked like I had a horrible rash. It came right off with water, but it was a pain and it caused the red to wear off of a lot of the sequins. All that sewing for something I could only wear once! Oh the humanity!

    They do make fabric that has sequins sewn to it already that don't rub off if you're feeling nifty enough to create the entire garment from scratch yourself.

    That should be pretty easy to make actually.

    Get the pre made top and bottom, and get the big 1'' size sequins and sew them in lines/rows across with about 1/4-1/2" space between the rows.

    Hand sewing shouldn't take that long and would look just as good.

    Just remember to buy extra, in case they start to fall off, so you can mend them.

    I tried using big sequins once, it did cut the time involved down. Unfortunately I'm a picky freak and didn't like how they look all together. If I had the time I'd use nothing but the teeny teeny tiny sequins. I like 'em small.

    One of the stripper outfit manufacturers actually had a whole collection with sequins maybe a year ago. I can't think of the name of the company name right now, but I can look it up for ya when I'm not posting from my phone. They were really cute! Maybe B or Tina knows who I'm talking about...think it started with a K...

    Thanks for all the quick replies... I don't think I really want to make the outfit myself. I have no patience AND long fake nails that make threading a needle next to impossible. LOL! But it's so cute...

    Yeah I wouldn't go with the pre-made Leg Ave stuff. I have this one and it started falling apart rather quickly. Mind you I've had it repaired because it's a fun outfit... but with all the times it's been sewn, I could have had a custom made one done up for me.

    Anybody remember Wendy 0 outfits/costumes? Their sequined stuff was nice! I remember one coworker had this cute skirt set... I checked their website and it's pretty lame. I wish those outfits were still in rotation...sigh.

    You can do sequins on a machine quick and easy...just use a leather needle.

    It's not that hard to do but it's very time-consuming as others have said. Also, if you put the sequins around the edges they'll chafe the hell out of your skin. I cannot wear sequin bikinis for this reason.
