MAKEMECHIC Bikini Set, halter neck

A plus-size bikini in apricot or black: a halter top that ties at the neck and the back, over a high-waisted bottom. The high waist covers the middle without a panel, and the halter is the support. The fabric has high stretch, and the set is sold as two pieces in one letter.

A halter bikini holds by the neck tie, so a long swim leaves a line on the neck and a bandeau does not. The high-waisted bottom stays put when you dive, which a string bottom cannot promise. Rinse it in fresh water the same evening and dry it flat in the shade.

One of 297 on the swim and cover-ups rail in the MAKEMECHIC lineup. It also answers to bikini sets, plus size. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
