Spanish term or phrase: forma de pico
Hi everyone. This is from a description of a bra.

Sujetador triangular de encaje gris con motivos de flores. Forma de pico con pequeño frunce entre las copas.

I thought that this meant v-necked, but that doesn't make sense for a bra, does it?
Please help! It's a little bit urgent and I am not making progress. I'm sure it's something simple but I haven't been able to put my finger on it thus far. Sorry that I cannot provide a photo or better context. Thanks in advance. UK English please.
:)
