I suggest a product called, "Paverpol" it is fabric stiffener. You could use the product to actually "sculpt" the bikini's into a human form so they could kind of "float" over a surfboard, or dress a line drawing of a surfer girl. The fact that there is little fabric allows a sculptural form without a body of any kind to inspire the visitor to "see" what isn't there. I'd do it with all the suits, make them "move" by making them 3-D....pretty cool. Paverpol is available in some US craft stores, if you google it, it's paverpolusa.com, the product was developed in Europe for the parade/festival market. The product works best on natural fibers, so the polyester thing might be a problem, but the people at Paverpol could probably help you with a work around. The product is sort of like paper mache for cloth.
