How to make a supportive post WLS friendly bikini top out of a cheap string bikini

Most of us post WLS folks have spinal irregularities, specifically forward head and even slightly saggy skin..so a traditional bikini top might not be comfortable l for us as it puts even more forward stress on the neck and shoulders and fails to give enough support .
You CAN take the stress off , and give the girls a comfortable gentle lift too with this easy modification. I bought some bikini tops and shorts at wall mart of all places - 7.99 originally and now 50% off . Here is what I did to make a cross -back bra .
You slightly scrunch the bra top together like you were adjusting to put it on ( I always recommend buying as LARGE as looks good for the best coverage and look) I buy small bottoms and medium or large tops myself) and make loops in the string on either side . Don't tighten the loops yet ! Then you take the OPPOSITE end of the neck string and pass into each loop , and tie securely ( knot ) . If you're tiny , you may need a little less length .. for me , at 5'9" the total length gives perfect comfortable support .
You're essentially making a high end bikini bra out of an inexpensive suit 
The good news is once its finished you can just untie the back like a regular crossover suit .. you never have to retie the knots unless you want more support .. in which case you can just tease them apart with a blunt needle .
Looking good and your legs are so slim too - I'm definitely pear shaped!! :-S
