Venus is an amazing and sexy one-piece swimsuit. The entire suit is lined with enclosed elastic and designed to be fully reversible. The front has 2 options a high v-neck or low v-neck. Add inner lining with optional sew-in cups and under bust elastic for added support. The back has 2 options a full back or lace-up back. The straps on the full back can be straight or criss-crossed, plus you can make either adjustable with rings and sliders. The lace-up back has loops you lace the straps through for a corset look. Choose from 1/4” or 1/2” elastic enclosed straps for your desired support. Plus the leg line can be high or low with cheeky or regular booty coverage. Venus is perfect for vacations, wearing poolside, to the lake, or wear it as a bodysuit for date night!
