How to fold a two piece bathing suit

1. Start with the top and fold any straps under to form a rectangle.
2. Straighten out the straps.
3. Take one side and fold it over by one-third.
4. Fold the opposite side over as well.
5. Now fold it in half.
6. Take the bottom and place them bottom down.
7. You want to fold them into the width of the crotch area.
8. Since the sides are wider than the bottom, you will start by folding from the sides.
9. Fold one side in twice towards the middle.
10. Repeat for the other side. You should now have a rectangular shape.
11. Now fold from the bottom of the crotch area in half.
12. Place both the top and the bottom of the swimsuit on top of each other.
13. To keep them nice and neat in your drawer, use a sock box, available in any organizing store or retail store or even online.

I’m going to show you how to fold a two-piece bathing suit. With a top like this, or any top, for that matter, with spaghetti straps, the first thing that you’re going to want to do is, right from the cups, fold the straps under just like so, and then straighten out the straps. Then we’re going to take one side, fold it over by a third, do the same thing for the opposite side, and then fold the top in half, so I wind up with a nice little package like this. Let’s set that aside a moment, and let’s fold the bottoms.

Folding the bottoms is exactly like folding a pair of panties. You want to fold them to the width of the crotch area. The first thing that I’m going to do, is because the sides are wider than the bottom, we’re going to do a fold in, one fold first like so, and then fold it over one more time, creating a nice, straight edge here. I’m going to repeat that on the opposite side, one fold, and a second fold over, again creating a nice, straight edge.

Then I’m going to take the bottom, and I’m going to go ahead and fold it in half like so, creating a nice package like this. I’m going to put the two pieces together, but the trick is to keep, keeping them nice and neat in your drawer. I like to purchase socks boxes like this, that you can buy at any organizing store, either in a retail store or online, and go ahead and put your bathing suit inside, making a beautifully organized bathing suit set.
