Using this bikini top is easy. First, put the halter part around your neck and tie it at the nape. Then, fasten the clasp at the back. Make sure the ruched underwired cups are properly positioned for the best support. When it comes to maintenance, rinse the top with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Don't use harsh detergents; instead, use a mild soap. Hang it to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. As for the color, keep in mind that the color you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual product, so don't be surprised if there's a slight variation.
