Design Details and Benefits
- String-tie sides - ties at the hip instead of a fixed seam, for a slimmer line through the leg
- Ruched cup fabric - gathers the fabric rather than a smooth flat panel, which is what gives the shirred texture
The ruching across the cups is the detail carrying this one. A flat triangle top can look a little plain past the first close-up photo, so gathering the fabric instead gives it texture and a bit of shape. It's a soft, unstructured cup built from two triangle panels and a set of fine string ties, which keeps the whole thing light rather than built-up. Worth knowing before you order: because the shape is soft rather than structured, it reads as a swim top rather than a shaping bikini, so if you want more hold through the bust this isn't the style to reach for.
