Answer Posted / guest

design was more akin to the skimpy string 1970's bikinis.
Bikinis made news then and as versions have become skimpier
they have always attracted attention. When the Bikini was
named its impact was likened to an atomic explosion. Cotton
batik bikini worn by a teenager - 1980s. Bikinis were seen
in Crete thousands of years ago. After that pictorial
evidence of 200 A.D., suggests that bikini clad women were
cavorting in Sicily's Piazza Armerina.
