Word order question

Generally, you don't use a comma after a color. I would use the chart that AwkwardlySet posted as a guide and write "stringy black thong bikini."

"String" and "thong" don't mean the same thing. A "thong bikini" is one that provides no coverage of the ass; the fabric in the back slips between the ass cheeks and disappears. But it's not necessarily a string, and "thong" doesn't imply anything about what the sides are like. I think of a "string bikini" as one that has strings on the side holding the front and back together.

The thread starter starts these fashion terminology threads every few months and I totally appreciate that effort to get it right, but every single time the clothes that he is describing are skanky napkins. Might as well just make these girls go to the supermarket naked. : P

like wearing Biancas Grammy "dress"?

Some guys don't understand how much work (and money) it takes to make girls look the way guys like them to.

No kidding.

Neither of those two choices sounds great to me. I'd probably add a few words, so as to paint a more vivid picture. In fact I think I've written something exactly like this in the past:

...a black thong bikini that ties at her hips with bow-knotted strings...

Another option is not to feel compelled to describe everything about the bikini in one phrase. It's OK to mention that it's a black thong in one sentence and that it has ties on the side in another.

“black, thong string bikini” or “black, string thong bikini”

Black strong thing bikini?
Strack thong bling bikini?
Thack string blong bikini?
The possibilities are endless.

bikini is actually the top.

Are you claiming that Spongebob is wrong? How dare you!
