MAKEMECHIC Polka Dot Swim Bikini Set

A polka-dot bikini with a swim short instead of a string bottom, for the day that involves a paddleboard rather than a sun lounger. The short stays where it was put when a wave arrives, and the top ties like every other set in the range. Yellow, brown and black grounds carry the dots, and the fabric gives when you swim.

The trade is coverage against tan lines: a swim short leaves a straighter line on the thigh than a high-cut bottom does. If the pool is the whole plan, the string set in the same print does the job with less cloth. Rinse the salt out the same evening and the dots keep their edge.

One of 297 on the swim and cover-ups rail in the MAKEMECHIC wardrobe. It also answers to bikini sets, polka dot. 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.
