The String Bikinis
It could be that the one set given to her was lost in transit, simply forgotten or coveted by an underwear Rose had a photo shoot and needed to wear a bikini. The story was that the ingenious Ms. Clothing retailers who saw a goldmine in commercializing bikini fashion for the growing number of beach bums sought to formally introduce the bikini as a modern and trendy beach fashion through magazine launch, cover shoots and the fashion ramps.
By that time, the skimpy bikini is yet to conquer a wider territory as acceptable public beachwear. A Brazilian fashion model named Rose de Primallio was credited for "inventing" this ultra comfortable piece of undergarment around the late 60s to early 70s. Obviously, string bikinis owe its name to its stringed trappings that replaces the conventional garter belt in the case of panties, and the elastic band in the case of a woman's bra. And if it cannot get any skimpier, enter the string bikini, the tiniest version of the bikini which consists of mere swatches of textile (four triangles, to be exact, two each for the top and bottom garments), held together on their ends and are tied together to secure them on the delicate parts of the body.
As a piece of underclothing, and a mandatory beachwear especially in sun-kissed places like Florida, Hawaii and the Carolina states where they are as ubiquitous as the almost-naked bodies that wear them, bikinis have become scantier, more daring, and needless to say, more sexier than the styles and cuts of previous years.
