Halter High-Waisted Solid Color Criss-Cross Two-Piece Suit

Two Piece Bathing Suits

05/03/2017

All two piece swimsuits do not look like bikinis, but the name is used nonetheless. Drape and tie styles continue. The biggest “trend” is that almost all two piece models are now sold with tops and bottoms separately priced, ostensibly so that you’re not locked into sizing. Read labels and ads carefully.
