LBS Chic: Swimsuits For All GabiFresh Swim Sexy Collection

lovebrownsugar-bathing-suit

So you guys know I’m a huge fan of showing off my curves in a swimsuit. With all the options there are on the market these days for curvy girls, even in my post-baby body, I have no shame. I full embrace my lack of thigh gap and I think every girl should be comfortable in her beautiful body, regardless of shape. Someone who shares this philosophy is my girl Gabifresh who co-created this amazing Gabifresh x Swim Sexy collection with swimwear brand Swimsuits For All.

Immediately when I saw the collection, I wanted one of EVERYTHING. I mean Gabi really outdid herself and created a collection full of amazing cuts, colors, prints and patterns.

Here are my thoughts on how to shop the Swimsuits for All Gabifresh Swim Sexy collection based on trying it out myself:

Shop For Your Shape

Most of us girls with curves are not 100% perfectly proportionate. If you are, round of applause. I’m not. So when it comes to this collection, your best bet is to size up in whatever area you’re most “blessed”. I happen to be a booby girl. So I sized up in my tops and ended up with a great fit. I typically wear a size 14 dress but that concept doesn’t exactly translate when it comes to Swimsuits For All bikinis. I wear a 42DD bra size so I purchased a size 18 top and size 14 bottom.

If you’re more of a “Big Booty Judy” then you need to size up in your bottoms. Just be prepared by purchasing your suit well in advance of your trip in case you need to return it for another size. Also make good use of the Size Guide on the website.

Have Fun

With this particular suit, at first I was confused. These straps that tie around your waist are completely open to your interpretation and you can style them any way you choose. Place them up higher or down lower to you liking. But don’t be intimidated because they don’t have set placement. Just tie them the way you want them.

With the other suits, have fun by pairing the separates with other separates in your swimsuit collection, like a black bikini top or a solid color that matches the prints. Be creative and make the most of the collection!

Have you purchased anything from Swimsuits4All? Would you try one of these suits?
