Summer is just around the corner! You all know what that means, it's time to break out those swimsuits, have a BBQ and a pool party, and just enjoy the warm weather. It's always nice to start the season off with a brand new swimsuit to take to the beach or pool with too.
Essential Swimwear offers gorgeous one piece and tankini bathing suits. The swimsuits are quality made and long lasting. The swimsuit cuts are made to flatter your body, which is a plus. There are many styles and colors for anyone's taste. Why not treat yourself to a new swimsuit today?
I did a swimsuit review for Essential Swimwear last summer and absolutely loved the suit that I received. I still wear it and recently took it on vacation with me. It's held up well and still looks fantastic. I knew that I couldn't stay away and just had to do another review! :)
I normally wear a tankini (or on a rare occasion a bikini) when I go to the pool or beach. There were so many swimsuits that caught my eye and it was really hard to make a decision.
I finally settled on the beautiful Plum Ruched Halter Swimsuit. The deep purple color is perfect for summer and will look great on once I have a nice tan.
This swim top takes "flattering" to the next level. With gathers that criss-cross at the bust and create interest all the way down the torso, you'll never feel more confident or interesting than when you're wearing this suit. The ruching camouflages any imperfections and allows for length customization depending on how little or much you want to bunch it up. Thick halter straps ensure your top isn't going anywhere, even in the most active of circumstances.
When I received the swimsuit, I was a little hesitant because the top looked very big. I was sure that I was going to need a smaller size. Once I tried it on it actually fit perfectly. It hugged my body in just the right way and was extremely flattering on. I loved the ruching on the sides and the criss cross design on the top was pretty. I was initially attracted to this suit because it has vintage-y like feel of swimsuits from the 60's and 70's. The suit was comfortable on and I had no problems tying it. The swimsuit felt secure and I didn't feel like the tie was coming loose. Since I am 5'0, the top was a little long on me. That's easily fixable thanks to the ruching that allows you to easily change the length of it, depending on what you want. Once I adjusted the ruching, I liked the length much better. The high-waisted matching bottoms fit great as well. Overall I am very pleased with the swimsuit.
I am going away for the weekend and I'll be sure to bring this suit with me to the pool where I'm staying. I can't wait to wear it!
