I never thought I'd wear a bikini at my age, until I bought this one. Not only is it extremely well made, comfy and utterly gorgeous, it does an amazing job of showing off the nice bits, while keeping the wobbly bits safely covered up at the same time (e.g. excellent bottom coverage)
If you're nervous about shopping for bathers, don't be. It's so not worth getting your knickers in a knot over. Honestly. Forget about beating yourself up in front of one of those unflattering change-room mirrors. There's really no need, check out My Sister Pat for gorgeous retro swimwear that fits all shapes and sizes, or better still, do what I did and send lovely Leah from Bells Belles Vintage an email. I bought my bikini from Leah and she was a delight to deal with. I know you'll think so too.
I love this pic from My Sister Pat don't you?

Oh that's just fabulous. All you need is oversized shades and a floppy hat and you'll be channeling the Audrey in the south of France type look. So glamorous! :-)

ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I want some, then maybe I wouldn't wear a singlet and boardies over the top of my bathers!

The shape of that bikini is perfect!
ReplyDeleteA friend bought a one piece of theirs last year, which has this little skirt, but not in a cover-up-the-wobbly-bits-way as it's there just for pure fun and she looks fabulous every time she wears it.
Beautiful bikini, Kylie, and I bet you look great in it - even at your age!!! *a joke*
ReplyDeleteThey do some gorgeous gingham and polka dot ones - I'm SO tempted!

Love it! Will be ckecking them out for sure!
ReplyDeleteSo glamorous Kylie - I love it. You are lucky, the only swimwear I'm going to be seeing for months now is when I take boy1 for lessons - it's not quite the same with the stench of chlorine and the discarded verruca sock under the bench...
