Getting Ready for Summer with Essential Swimwear {Review and Giveaway}

It can be hard finding a swimsuit that fits and flatters my feminine form. (Is it just me or are almost all swimsuits made for 12 year olds?) Well last year I discovered Essential Swimwear and found that they carry the cutest, figure flattering swimsuits. So when I was searching for a new suit, I knew just where to look. Essential Swimwear offers reasonably priced high quality swimwear, made for real women.

As mentioned, I reviewed Essential Swimwear last spring and loved the suit I tried (and still wear it all the time). However, this year they have made some changes and I was eager to try one of their new and improved 2011 bathing suites. So whats new? Each top now has a more supportive top and the option of adding cup inserts, front twist tops have versatile new straps, halter tops have an additional strap, and they have designed a new high waste swim bottom. Essential Swimwear has also expanded their sizing,  now offering sizes X-Small to XX-Large. Keep reading to learn my thoughts on my new 2011 Essential Swimwear suit and to enter to win a fab new swimsuit for yourself.

I am crazy about Navy these days, so chose to review the new Navy Twist Front Top from Essential Swimwear. This ultra flattering swimsuit top features a stylish twist design and beautiful side ruching. The straps are the new halter style that can be worn several ways- giving you different levels of support and different looks. I am really love the new strap design- I have a long torso and a big chest, so I love that I can adjust the straps for added support and the perfect fit.  I have been wearing my straps criss-crossed at the back and they look pretty and are super comfortable. The new supportive top (with built in seamless cups and side boning) is also great. It gives a lot of support to my chest and keeps "The Girls" in place and looking good. This suit is very well designed and I cant wait to confidently wear it to the beach this summer.

I also tried the fun Periwinkle Striped High Waist Bottoms from Essential Swimwear. These bottoms flatter every body type and would also work great as maternity swim bottoms. The top can be worn up for added tummy control, or folded down for a hipster bottom look. I have been wearing my folded down, and have found the fold hides my lower tummy pudge perfectly while looking cute and stylish. These bottoms are truly flattering, hug my curves, and don't ride up (which I LOVE).

If you are looking for a new bathing suit that will flatter and fit,  no matter what your shape, I definitely recommend Essential Swimwear.
