A new twist on the bikini -- a "burkini" -- designed so Muslim women can enjoy a day on the beach.

An Australian Muslim woman came up with the design.

The burkini, is made from UV and water-protected polyester.

It covers the whole body except for the feet, hands and face.

It allows Muslim women to swim in public, instead of wearing the full length dresses and robes.

So far, almost 10,000 burkinis have been sold.
