Variations in Bikinis-- String Bikini

String Bikini --


A string bikini is a swimsuit which is a little more scanty and a little more show-off your body type of bikini as compare to the traditional normal bikinis. Why is it called a string Bikini? you ask.. well, its called a string bikini because of its characteristics. Instead of having a full single piece covering the bottom, the string bikini has two- a string bikini. Picture credits to wikipedia. triangular shaped pieces connected at the groin but not on the sides, where a thin string wraps around the waist to connect the two parts. In the same way, string bikini tops are tied well in place with strings at the back. There are also variations in Bikini String tops. They can be tied or in continous in different shapes and sizes. from a V to a straing line, a halter or an X.

It is said that a Brazilian Fashion model Rose de Primo created the first string bikini when she had to sew one for her photoshoot but interestingly ran out of materials. The first presentation however was done by Glen Tororich, a public relations agent, and hif wife Brandi PerretDuJon, a fashion model for the opening of Le Petite Centre which is a shopping centre in the French Quarters of New Orleans Louisiana in 1974. They were inspired by a picture of a Rio De Janiera fashion model in an issue of Women's Daily Wear magazine and they had a local fashion designer called Lapin to create it for their event. They recruited different types of models through a talent agent Peter Dasigner and presented the string Bikinis on the stage removeing fur coats designed by Alberto Lemon. This presentation of the first string bikinis was covered by all local television stations and the New Orleans Times newspaper and was sent out to international pree aswell.

String Bikinis are really popular nowadays. Almost everyone (women & girls) have atleast one in their summer closets. They are popularly seen worn at the beaches and many women also use them under normal clothing with the straps showing at the neck line of any shirt or blouse. String Bikinis can also be said to be an "undergarment" used by both men and women. Women's string bikini underwear is similar to the bottoms of the string bikini but in other fabrics such as cotton, nylon etc.

Men's string Bikini underwear consistes of a front and bak joined at the crotch and insteand of bieng joined at the sides with strings, there joined with an elastic waist band. Like those on men's briefs. But you can also find them with strings instead of a waistband.

In my opinion, string bikinis are good for the summer heated days at the beach. They let you get a good tan. and look great at the same time. I guess everyone can look great in a string bikini, however, all you gotta do is find the right one for you!!!
hapPy summer!!*
