I hope this goes without saying but, wear things as cropped as you want. Personally I’m only comfortable with showing off so much skin if I’m in a bikini.

I had to conceal all the seams with bias tape since I was going for the see-through look with this set. Adding the bias tape also stopped any sequins that were in the seams from touching the skin.
