About MeThis ladies blue cotton bathing costume has a sweetheart neckline and boned bodice. The back is smocked and there are horizontal lines of white elastic visible on the interior.
The smocking helps to ensure that the costume stays up if the two straps are slipped off the shoulders for strap-free tanning.
