Etna Underwired Bikini with Moulded Cups and Brazilian Briefs
Description
An underwired bikini with moulded cups that keep their shape
This underwired bikini by Etna is built like a good bra. The cups are moulded and have fixed padding, the wires sit underneath, and the straps come off when you want an even tan. The top ties at the back.
The briefs are a low-cut Brazilian shape and are lined. The fabric is 80% polyamide and 20% spandex.

The piece: three versions of one bikini
Etna makes this model in three versions, and they differ more than the colour buttons suggest. Blue has a plain blue top and printed briefs. The button black has a striped top in beige and black with black lace flowers along the edge, and briefs that tie at each side. The button black 2 has the same top with plain black briefs.
Two honest notes. The printed wrap in the first photo is a beach prop: the supplier ships a two-piece swimsuit and nothing else. And the supplier's text for the black versions still calls them blue, which the photos contradict. We describe what the photos show.
Who it's for
For you if a soft triangle top gives you too little support. Wires and moulded cups hold the bust in place when you swim or play with the kids in the surf.
The briefs are cut low and narrow at the back, as a Brazilian cut is. If you want full coverage behind, this is not your bikini.

Fabric and feel: polyamide with a lot of stretch
The composition is 80% polyamide and 20% spandex, a common swimwear blend. A fifth of spandex gives the fabric a firm stretch, so it sits close and springs back.
The briefs are lined. The cups are pressed into shape with heat and carry a filling that stays in; you cannot take it out.
Fit and silhouette: measure under the bust
The maker sizes this bikini by underbust and hips. Size 36 is for an underbust of 68-72 cm and hips of 89-92 cm. Size 38 is 73-77 cm and 93-97 cm, size 40 is 78-82 cm and 98-102 cm, and size 42 is 83-87 cm and 103-107 cm.
Top and briefs come in the same size and cannot be mixed. The maker gives no cup size, so if you are between sizes, go by the underbust: the back tie lets you tighten the band a little.

Styling: straps on, straps off
With the straps on it is a secure bikini for swimming. Take them off and the top becomes a bandeau for the sunbed. The side ties on the black version let you set how high the briefs sit on the hip.
A light shirt or a wrap of your own over it gets you from the beach to lunch.
Occasions
Beach holidays, the pool, a spa weekend. Swimwear is seasonal in the Netherlands, so this is also one to buy in the quiet months for a winter-sun trip.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no washing instructions, so follow the label in the bikini. A general habit for swimwear: rinse it in cold fresh water after the sea or the pool, and dry it in the shade. Do not wring moulded cups; press the water out flat.
The wow detail: lace flowers on a swim top
On the two black versions a row of black lace flowers runs along the top edge of the cups, over beige and black stripes. Lace is rare on swimwear, and here it makes the top look like lingerie that happens to swim. The blue version skips the lace and puts the pattern on the briefs.
