Abstract: A bikini-style swimsuit having a diamond-shaped cloth pubic panel 10, and a spreader 22 which communicates with restraining pockets 20. The spreader extends the left and right extremities of the panel 10, tensing the cloth in the horizontal axis. A waistband 12 and a crotch panel 16 of typical bikini construction tense panel 10 in opposing directions in the vertical axis. An unexpected synergy of forces compels the entire periphery of the diamond-shaped panel 10 to be pulled into contact with the body of the wearer in an attractive and modest fashion.
