{"product_id":"the-costine-two-piece-set","title":"The Costine Two-Piece Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomeone painted this by hand — you can see it in the brushstrokes, the wobble of the scalloped border, the way no two panels quite match. Diamonds, blooms, a curl of spotted snake, little majolica medallions, all laid over warm cream like a folk tale told in color. It is a lot, on purpose, and it knows exactly what it's doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt is easy and boxy the way the good ones are — camp collar, a coral zigzag running the placket, room to move. Leave it open over a swimsuit, button it with the shorts, knot it at the waist. The shorts do the quiet work: a self-tie front and elasticated back mean you set the fit yourself, so nothing gapes and nothing digs, and they land mid-thigh for real leg without the tug-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinen, and it behaves like linen should — breathable through a hot afternoon, textural in the hand, the kind of cloth that softens with every wash instead of wearing out. The densely painted ground keeps its cover; if you want zero thought in strong sun, a nude slip-short underneath settles it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn together it reads like one considered thing, not a costume — cream at the base, bare arms and legs to let it breathe. Wearable art, the way the Italians have been doing it for years, at a fraction of what they charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLinen · boxy camp-collar shirt with contrast placket, side vents, drop shoulder \/ drawstring shorts with self-tie front + elasticated back, side pockets, mid-thigh · relaxed oversized shirt, relaxed shorts · densely printed ground for good cover, nude slip-short optional in bright sun · shorts run relaxed — take your true size, size down for a closer fit · model is 5'7\" and wears a size M · in Painted Terracotta · machine wash cold on gentle, hang to dry, warm iron while damp.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helena Bloom","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":54458802012373,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":54458753515733,"sku":"6102660813263","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54458753548501,"sku":"6102660813264","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54458753581269,"sku":"6102660813265","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54458753614037,"sku":"6102660813266","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54458753646805,"sku":"6102660813267","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/3691\/5925\/files\/ChatGPTImageAug8_2026_12_04_57PM_1.png?v=1786162968","url":"https:\/\/helenabloom.com\/products\/the-costine-two-piece-set","provider":"Helena Bloom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
