Petit Chat's fine french couture: bikinis

Coucou,

After the Circe bikinis, we must have also a cute pareo set to wear while hanging out in beach areas. After all, it's summertime. We don't need to wear a lot, but still we need some lil pieces of clothing to enhance our natural beauty.

And what is best than a lovely pareo set with colors raising our tanned skin ?

So here come the Beach Pearl sets, 5 different texture version, that, i hope, you will like.

Beach Pearl poppies

The beach Pearl set includes a lovely hanging mesh top (in 5 sizes), a short mesh pareo-skirt for the bottom (5 sizes) and a tiny bikini bottom on a layer. Also you will find 3 alpha layers (1 for the top, 1 for the bottom and 1 for both top and bottom) but in most of the cases wearing an alpha is not necessary.

Since bottom and top comes separately, you can choose separately which size you need and if needed you still can wear an alpha where its useful.

The result is really gracious and feminine. The art to suggest without too much displaying.

You can wear it at beach, at the swimming pool, at the river, but you can also wear it while doing shopping in beachtowns.

Beach Pearl pink

The 5 different versions are :

-- Poppies

-- Orange

-- Pink

-- Green

-- Strippes

All fabrics are prints and every part is edged by a thin color line.

Beach Pearl green

There is 5 different versions, so you can choose the one that will match the better with your skin color and your hair color.

Permission is copy only.

I decided to make the price as lower as the bikinis one : 80 L$.

Beach Pearl strippes

Those lil Beach sets are available at my mainstore and i'll probably set them into a gatcha for 50 L$ (transfert version) soon.

Of course, i'm pretty sure you are really curious about to know how it looks from the back, right ?

Lovely, isn't it ?

Of course you can decide to unwear the bottom and dive into the water with the bikini bottom layer and the top or just the bikini bottom if you don't mind swimming topless.

Coucou !

Ok, I'm not going to hide it, I'm not really fan of beach time. In fact I hate the contact of the sand on my skin and this one is so dry that the salt in the sea water is not a good time for me. I don't really like it in SL either. Although i know some beach places so beautiful that i never hesitate to tp there if I'm in the mood.

I'm more a river person. I like swimming in rivers in RL and SL. In RL I'm lucky, i live in a region where we have everything : beach, lochs, rivers and mounts. And we have a great weather. So it's never a problem.

In SL I'm even more lucky : my public garden has a lovely pond and a river, where I enjoy relaxing while swimming.

So of course, whatever you prefer beach or river, you'll need a swimwear. Except if you go to a naturist place, but that's another story.

Petit Chat brings to you 5 new finest bikinis for this summer : they are called Circe. If you don't remember who is Circe in Homer's Odissey, you will find a bit of infos in wikipedia .

Circe bikini Blue Waves

The bikini comes in 2 parts (bottom and top) all ruffled and in 5 sizes. There is an optional alpha layer, but mostly you won't need it.

I've created 5 original textures to give you more choice. Upper, you can see the Blue Waves version. It's a classic design perfect for beach days.

Circe bikini Orange

I haven't tried it yet, but I've been told it fit perfectly with the mesh body from The Shops (the beta version is still free in their store).

Each version of the bikini comes with copy permission and the price is 80 L$ each.

In addition, and since I'm part of the new round of The Fashion Collective I made a transfert version for a Gatcha machine for this event. Thus if you don't mind to let the gatcha machine choose for you the color and if you prefer a transfert version, you can go there and get them from the machine at my stall, for 50 l$ only.

Circe bikini Pink

Now let me tell you some words about the place I chose as background for the pics of this post : Baja Norte
I know I begun this post saying I dislike beaches, rl and sl, and it's true most part of the time. But Baja Norte is the kind of place that turns what i said in a lie. The architectural choices for the cabins, the setting of the beach itself, the lil deck with the ice cream kiosk, the lighting house... Everything is beautiful there. And trust me, to make me say a beach is beautiful is a big challenge. Succeful challenge for the creators of this place.
I haven't explored it all yet, but there is a lot of probabilities for you find some artworks made by myself using this place as background soon.
On top, its a peaceful place, noone have been bothering me while I was doing my shooting.

Circe bikini Red

While I was taking some lessons of flight by this seagull, i thought you also would like to know how this bikini looks from the back.

Ok, enough said for now ! Have fun this summer on beach or wherever you will go !

If you want to purchase the copy version of the bikinis, you will find them in my mainstore .

If you prefer the transfert version from the gatcha machine, you'll have to go at the Fashion Collective

If you want to swim in the river or the pond around of Moumou's square follow the link to my mainstore and just step outside.

Note about the pics of this post : I havent made any modification regarding the lighting in photoshop. You see here the bikinis as they are in SL. However, I used several different Windlight settings for the snapshots, I also made some lil processing regarding the elbows and shoulders. The SL avatar is not always great looking according some poses and I hate to display that, so I made some plastic surgery around elbows and shoulders on some of those pics. Also, I have cropped them. Except that, I haven't done any other processing.
