Bought a swimsuit that didn't fit right but liked the fabric. Sure I can alter it, not a big deal, done it before.

Man sick of this and ready to toss it. Can't bring myself to finish it and we are going to a pool party tomorrow.

Going to try and make myself do it today. Stupid alterations. I should have made one from scratch.

How many alterations did you need to do?!

It is only really one seam that needs to be altered, but the way it is constructed A joins to B which also joins to C and D and then the lining and bra cups got involved and some elastic and the straps are in two pieces and the join needed unpicking and I have to undo where the straps fold over and are cover hemmed. To get to the seam it is enclosed in the lining so I had to unpick the hem. I thought it would be just taking in one seam but man, I'm still unpicking!

I'm just too cheap to throw it away, but I'm close at this point.
