I have found the most fabulous summer beachwear. It’s called the bandeau tankini and it’s the most innovative way to look gorgeous and slim at the same time. And have no fear, if you’re pregnant, or overweight, the magic will work for you too. The bandeau tankini, which is a combination of a bandeau and bikini, will cover you where you need covering, while promoting your most fashionable asset – you!
I started my search for the most gorgeous bathing suit last week. I looked at full coverage suits, teeny bikinis and even retro 2 pieces. But alas, I came upon the most seductive look that lets you tan while removing any bikini line issues that may arise. That’s because the bandeau tankini doesn’t give you bikini lines. Problem solved.
My friend Marsha is 4 months pregnant. She told me she feels unattractive and heavy. We shopped around as she and her husband are going to a resort. She wants to feel sexy with her man but feels self conscious. I told her about my find, the bandeau tankini. She found one she liked made of 80% stretch nylon and 20% lycra. She feels great. It covers her up while letting her curves shine through.
My other friend Donna is a doctor. Very buttoned up during the day but a wild woman at night. She’s going to a singles getaway in the Bahamas. Donna is very sexy but very tall and certain bathing suits make her look like a giant. I gave her my advice, and I’m sure you know what I told her. She brought a beautiful, silky bandeau tankini in red with gold stripes. She looks gorgeous as always.
What about me, you ask? Well, I am self-conscious on the beach. After all, being in swimwear shows your every curve and unfortunately, every flaw. But I thought ahead. I wanted swimwear that was slimming and feminine without making me feel like I was naked. I set a budget too. I wanted to spend $150 and get 2 swimsuits. The search began.
The hardest thing for Marsha, Donna and any woman I think, is trying on swimwear in the dressing room. Or even in front of your mirror at home. There’s something about the lighting that adds 20 pounds to your frame. And doesn’t the mirror accentuate every flaw? You can shop online, in person or even over the phone. But the moment arrives and you must try it on. That’s the hard part.
