Gray seamless, studio October 2, 1979 RV7944 Costume Purple string halter and double sidestrap culotte. TML. N-7. Actions Of all the Promo Girls, this pert ponytailed princess wears the smallest bikini and sports the lowest-cut waistline (1). I mean, somebody has to push the limit, so it might as well be Number 44. Commentary Look carefully how the double cord design detail at the front center of the halter is mimicked in the double cord design of the side of the culotte, a good example of how small details matter and can unify a silhouette. It may be argued that this bikini is a true string silhouette rather than a sidestrap, and the answer to this debate depends upon what the definition of "string" is. Or if two strings are still a string? Note that the culotte doesn't have a sidetie, but also remember that, strictly speaking, strings can be strings without tying. Science isn't always neat and tidy, but at least the model is a knockout. Source "Rio Promotional Merchandising Folio," Revlon, 1979.
