Essential Swimwear Review & Giveaway

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Ahh! I have tried to write this review sooo many times.. but I kid you not.. it has rained nearly every day that I have had off to take the kids to the pool.. I just didn’t have a good chance to get a little chlorinated! Booooo! However… I have finally got this all put together and I am ready to rock the swimwear!!

Essential Swimwear is the ultimate is super stylish swimwear for those of us who just can’t bare all that skin.. but still want to look super hot at the pool or beach!

About the Designer

“After becoming thoroughly discouraged every season as I searched for the perfect swimsuit, I decided  that it didn’t exist.  I was frustrated with expensive prices, wrong fits and the hassle of searching online for hours.  Having some sewing experience, the thought came to mind, “Why don’t I make my own swimsuit?”

After a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to sew swimsuits that were comfortable, stylish and flattering.  I began making swimsuits for friends and family and soon the word started spreading.

I sold hand-sewn women’s swimsuits in 2008 and 2009 and received an overwhelmingly positive response.  I gained priceless knowledge as I personally fit hundreds of women.  I was able to discover their needs, wants and insecurities.  With this knowledge I was able to design a line of swimsuits for the 2010 season.

To increase the quality and keep up with demand I no longer hand-make the swimsuits, but am able to offer styles, designs and a price point that fits the needs of women.”

Essential Swimwear has all the basics covered when it comes to choosing the perfect swim suit to flatter your figure.. just check out their FIT GUIDE . Then, once you have determined your proper fit.. you should check out the size chart to get an idea of the sizes that you should chose. Finally, you browse the beautiful collection of skirts , bottoms , and tops .

Also, if you have a group of friends that are serious about their swimwear, or just love to shop.. why not host an Essential Swimwear party ? Yes, you can make money selling the perfect swimwear to all of your friends, family, and coworkers. Hosting a party means that all of your guests will be able to physically see and try on every piece of swimwear in the collection and chose the right style and fit!

Are you ready for the money shot??

AhhH! I shudder at the thought of being in a swimsuit in public.. but here goes..

So, what did I really think?

Love them! My first impression was that there was no way they pieces I received were going to put. I put the bottoms on first.. I have a large butt.. and I can never find bottoms that properly cover.. and I literally jumped up and down that they fit!!! I pulled the top on.. and I was so excited about the overall look of the suit. I have never been so comfortable in a swimsuit.. since the kids were born. It was really the perfect combination of sexy and covered… respectable enough to wear with my children.
