I am ecstatic with how this turned out! I spent a long time looking for a good base bikini--white is not a very common color, it seems. I finally found one at JC Penney, of all places, and it was a perfect fit. There is a ton of padding so it makes me look almost as busty as Nanami :D

I added the ruffles on the top and made the ruffle skirt from scratch. Oddly, the bikini was fine, but the material I used got slightly discolored in the Kalahari, which I'm hoping is temporary!

It was so much fun to wear, especially during my morning shoot with Swoz and Mimiko and Tsubasahime. They're so awesome!
