The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
Two bathing suits. A huge difference in price. Guess which one is more expensive and by how much....
I think the bikini is more expensive. It's counter-intuitive: the less material, the more money.

I'd say the two piece on the left is the pricest by $50 or more.
Have always heard that the less material involved in making swimsuits for females, the more costly they are. So, the bikini is more expensive than the monokini..not sure by how much though..that's my guess.
Posted by: Dr. D. at April 12, 2007 08:56 AMThe bikini looks more expensive. I don't know how much these things cost. The fabric looks better and the design and cut looks better, esp. how the straps leave the cups....US$80-$100??? is a wild guess based on shoe prices. The colours suit you very well. (I am really hoping that as shopping goes you got it for a 'steal'(:-))
Posted by: ges at April 12, 2007 09:13 AMI think the bikini cost more. As others have observed for some reason, you pay more to wear less.
Posted by: Gela at April 14, 2007 09:11 AMI realize I didnt tell you which was more expensive. You guessed correctly. The one on the left was priced at US$130. (I got a discount so paid about US$103).
The one on the right I bought in Kilburn, North London. Paid 10GBP for it, which is about US$5!
