It is often used in corsetry and beachwear. This assembly option is generally chosen for aesthetic reasons. This type of assembly means that there are no visible seams on the front of the swimming costume.

This is the assembly we use to make MAEVA and GIULIETTA swimwear.

Supplies

For our tutorial we will use

• a jacquard-type textile
• a swimming costume liner
• la laminette
• a sewing machine and optional serger

The tutorial and its tips

• Layer fabric over lining: right sides together

• Position the laminate over the seam allowance

Assemble
- with an overlock stitch machine.
OR
- on a zig-zag sewing machine

 

If your overlock stitch is narrower than the laminate, sew an additional stretch stitch along the edge of the laminate (only join the fabrics without sewing on the laminate). Among other things, this seam will prevent the laminate from rolling outwards..

 

• Unfold the parts.
• Assemble the lining to the laminate (attached to the seam value) on the sewing machine using a zigzag stitch. This seam will only be visible on the reverse side of the swimming costume and will stabilise the lining.

This stitching will also stabilise the lining.

For reasons of accessibility, it will not be possible to topstitch the entire length of the assembly - for example, in the straps area, etc.
The key is to topstitch in the areas that are accessible with the machine. Even a small amount of topstitching will suffice. The tension applied to the shirt will take care of the rest.
