One of of Panache's "little black swimsuit" styles. With it's waist-defining panel and mesh lining across the entire front of the suit body, it's clearly designed to flatter the stomach. It has copper metal hardware on the straps and a tiny metal "Panache" nameplate at the back. There's a cutout below the back band, those who don't like to expose flesh there may want to pass on this suit.
The neckline comes above the wire, adding modesty. The gore measurement above is to the top of the fabric. The gore measurement from band elastic to wire tip is 3.5".
The cup is forgivingly stretchy, unpadded, with a lining slightly smaller than the outer fabric to provide support. It's shallower at the outside and the bottom. The cup shape puts the breasts towards the center.
I did a few measurements across the suit while it was laying flat.
Waist: 14 3/8"
Hip: 16"
