Insight The Vacancy Bustier Bikini | Green Strapless Swim Top

Insight gives us all of the sizzle of lingerie in a swim top with this bustier style The Vacancy bikini.

The design is very structured, with underwire cups adding support and light padding providing a bit of lift. It's simple, in a matte color without any patterns, ruffles, or decals to distract. I appreciate that simplicity, as it ensures the swimsuit won't date any time soon.

However, when I saw the model in the picture I became concerned about The Vacancy's fit. It appears as if she's squeezed into the bikini top, almost as if she's wearing a size or two smaller than she should. On reading customer comments though it appears that's exactly what Insight has intended. Women complain that it's far too small in the bust. It seems like a simple solution to order larger than your usual size, but I'm unsure how such a slim-fitting bikini would look if you did. After all, it's got to fit everywhere, not just in the bust.

The strapless design is pretty sexy, and ideal for avoiding tan lines, but it's not very practical when you're in the water. Without straps to secure it in place it just feels like a wardrobe disaster waiting to happen. Waves and suits like this simply don't mix.

The bustier bikini is something we don’t see enough of, but sadly Insight doesn't capitalize on its potential. At least it's relatively affordable at $72.

Since designer Amy Smilovic's Tibi collection will be opening Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami tomorrow night, it seems only fitting to feature something from her colorful Summer/Fall 2009 Swim Collection.

The Nashota Tie Bandeau top and Brazillian bikini bottom are perfect if you're starting to get tired of this year's bikini. The two piece is a little bit different than standard bikini fare with a colorful purple, pink and orange ethnic print.

Plus, if you're tired of having tan lines from your one piece or the straps of your current bikini, this will sort that out in a snap of sunshine. Avoiding pale strap lines in summer dresses is really one of the main reasons to buy a bandeau top, no?

If you're small in the chest, this suit may be a bit hard to hold up. The model is wearing a size small, and the sizes can not be mixed and matched for the top and bottom of the suit. For a Brazilian bikini there is moderate coverage around back.

Looking forward towards Tibi's 2010 line, it is said to be inspired by the island of Bali and infused with batik and ikat prints in a vibrant, modern color palette.
