Tightening leg opening
I know that this is an old post but just last week I found a way to transform a suit to tighten the leg openings. I have a black Tactics bikini with about a 2" side seam which I really like, but the leg openings were just too big for me to swim laps in it. I had even bought a size Small since the Medium that I already had in white was way too loose, probably not even appropriate for the beach.
So I came up with this idea. I took about a 2" tuck in the bottom seam which served 2 purposes. First, the leg openings became much tighter and were now suitable to wear for lap swimming (I wore it today); and second, by taking that tuck, it brought the front of the suit lower and it looked and felt really sleek. The low cut front now is comparable to a Euro Sporti. I don't know how long it will hold up, but I've worn it a couple of times and it's been fine.
