I purchased this Kalahari bikini in copper in size S, curious about its unusual design. The front of the garment looks like a regular mesh bikini, with a 9 1/4" rise, 23" waist and 27" hip measurements, a 1/2" piece of shiny copper-colored elastic around the waist and 1/4" shiny copper elastic around the leg openings. The mesh fabric is a darker toffee-brown, and the bikini has very finely stitched (and secure) beautiful floral motifs in shiny copper metallic and red threads. The back of the bikini is a v-shaped piece, with the elastic band around the waist and a 5" triangular opening, with a 1/4" elastic border. The comfortable cotton gusset is 2" wide. While this bikini has its matching bralette tops, it also complements the NSN metallic copper bralettes (same color as the elastic components), and the "lady in red" and "sahara" Paradiso garments. Besides the beautiful earthtone colors, I was very impressed by the tiny, secure decorative stitching. This is probably the most unusual bikini in my undies drawer, but also among the prettiest. I have a 25" waist and 34" hips - size S fit very well, with no elastic pulling or binding.
