Hello
I've translated Triangle as Halter in the past but now I have this 'new' expression
From the picture, it is certainly not
1 A high neck halter
2 High as in hiding the bust
So it just looks like any other halter type bra and I can't work out the meaning of the new word 'montant'
The picture of it is not on the Internet but the cut is like
http://www.amazon.fr/Banana-Moon-Canto-Peace-triangle/dp/B00...
and this too is described as 'montant'
Any help appreciated

rising halter
Maybe you could use "rising halter bikini top" as in the link below. I don't know what the word 'rising' adds to the description but it seems like the right way to translate 'montant'!

Comment: "After more research, long halter seems to be followed by the word 'dress' while rising halter is followed often by bikini."

elongated triangle
I believe it's referring to the fact that the wide strap makes the cup look like an elongated triangle. Contrast this with triangle tops where the cup is attached to a skinny or string type of strap.

uplift halter
Is the 'montant' perhaps suggesting that it lifts the bust?

: In 'triangle montant', the emphasis is on the fact that the triangular form is elongated, not in the effect it has. Uplift, push-up, enhance are beneficial side-effects, as it were. The French puts the accent on the cut of the fabric, not the effect.

long (enhancer) triangle
I have come across a couple of sources describing the same top with different names and the ame name also for different tops. There is some general consensus around "long triangle".
http://www.venus.com/customerservice/bikini_tops.aspx
Long triangle top – A bikini top that has an elongated strap coming from the top of a standard triangle top. Usually has a comfortable sash tie at the neck instead of spaghetti.

https://www.lyst.co.uk/clothing/vix-cambra-taupe-long-triang...
"enhancer" sometimes used when foam extrats, but also for the advantages of the long triangle style.
