This crochet bikini and swimsuit combo is undoubtedly one of the neatest out there. Although it's very definitely a bikini with a top and bottom, it's also a one-piece swimsuit, the best of both worlds.

Easy Peachy Bikini Cover Up Top
"The past week I've been wearing my Peachy Bikini Cover Top out in the garden and have realised that although I designed it as a bikini dress, it works perfectly over a simple strap top and shorts too! I've only ever worn bikini covers when I've been on holiday but now I'm determined to find other ways to style them, I think it could work with jeans and heels too? The stitch pattern uses a mixture of filet crochet technique (not tricky I promise!), slip stitch details and long stitches for the neckline which are really easy to master - if you can work a regular UK treble/US double then long stitches are no problem at all, I'll talk you through it too."
