For the first time this season, Roidal breaks with tradition. The elegant & simple design has been added to & transformed. Here, the bikini cups have been given a fine ruched effect, making the bandeau seem fuller, drawing the eye upwards. The neck string has been added to do the same to the neck line, drawing gazes further upwards. Both of these act in tandem to make your whole torso look taller & your figure more slender. The briefs perform a similar duty with your hips. The added fabric tied around the brief line, while beautiful isn't just for show. They give a visual definition to the waist area, giving you an envious curve to your hips. The relationship between the top & bottom halves of the bikini is the same at the cup & string. Both effect work together to give you an all-over shaping effect. The designers at Roidal have set a new benchmark, with everything in this bikini working exactly how you want it to.
