While the print may be fairly modern, the design of this bikini is very retro. The high-waisted design of the bikini briefs really gives this bikini set a retro feel. The bikini top has moulded cups and a hook fastening at the back while the briefs are high-waisted and have ruching at the sides. This bikini would be perfect for those after an extremely feminine poolside outfit.
