Problem: Fitting bottoms on my long & lean daughter. She needs the larger size for the length, but then the waist is usually way to big.
It's great to have a modest 2-piece bathing suit for easy diaper changes, though these board shorts didn't stay up when just standing, let alone playing & swimming.


The board shorts had a band of elastic at the waist.

Solution: Adding an extra elastic drawstring.
All I needed was a couple grommets, elastic cord & a toggle . . . and . . .

. . . Presto! They stayed up!
They made for one happy morning in the kiddie pool.

The bottoms stayed up the whole time she played in the pool, even when they were wet. This project worked out great. And there was no sewing required. Many thanks to Rojelio for helping me brainstorm the solution.
