"Here we have a more modest bathing suit, the bottoms aren't my typical style that I do, these are more of a hearkening back to the almost 80's high on the hips and high cut on the legs but it is still kind of demure in a way. It is very very covered. The back obviously you can tell from the way the front is styled that it is going to be a full coverage style, no Brazilian or anything. The top, I designed this one to not be under wire but as I'm looking at it right now you could have under wire and that would be totally fine. This is more of a sporty look and if you are going to go surfing or you are designing a collection where the person is actually going to be active on the beach or the pool then you want to do something like this as opposed to your tiny tiny bikinis. The bottoms as I said are higher up on the hips and it doesn't dip that low, they have got bigger sides and it doesn't dip that low in the front it is just for regular old bikini bottoms and the top is just a regular old bra top and you can have under wire if you want, I didn't so I'm not going to do it again."
