Design Details and Benefits
- Stripe direction changes at the waist seam - stops the pattern from running as one long, unbroken line down the body
- Cutout placed below the cinched waist rather than at the bust - keeps the neckline modest while still showing skin through the middle
A stripe this bold needs a clean shape to sit on, and the cinched waist is what stops the print from just running straight down as one long column. Breaking it with the cutout does the same job from a different angle - your eye stops at the gap rather than following the stripe all the way to the hem. Worth knowing before you order: the cutout sits low enough that a plain bikini bottom underneath the top would show through it, so this is built to be worn as the full set rather than mixed with separates.
