Norma Kamali

The shirring is the adjustment. Each row of elastic gathers the cloth, so working the fabric up shortens and narrows a panel while easing it down lets the same panel cover more — on a swim style that changes the leg and seat coverage, on a dress it changes where the gathering sits and how long the skirt reads. Nothing is fixed by a fastening, so the piece settles differently depending on how it is pulled into place, and the knit recovers once it is off.

Mio is the house's word for a one-piece. On the swim styles a mio is a maillot rather than a two-piece, and the name carries over to bodysuits cut on the same single-piece line. It is a naming convention, not a fit description, which is why several different mios exist with different necklines, backs and leg lines. The rest of the style name tells you the specifics, so read that alongside the measurements given for each piece.
