Crossword Genius

It's worn in two places, but very little (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bikini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very little' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'it's worn in two places' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bikini that I've seen before include "Atoll and swimming costume" , "A small two -piece bathing costume" , "Two piece swimsuit" , "Dress" , "offering scanty cover" .)
