Form and Fold D-G The Crop Recycled Bikini Top

A luxurious take on the trending crop style bikini top, this fuller-bust version from Form and Fold has well-hidden underwire that'll keep you lifted and supported.

• Fabrics: 80% Recycled nylon, 20% elastane.
• Colours: 3.
• Pros: Specific bra sizing. Hidden underwire. Adjustable straps
