Maybe you look forward to ‘bikini season’ and can’t wait to show off your beautiful bod. Well, you go girl!

However, if you’re like me, you dread bathing suit season (I mean, how many of us really wear bikini’s – right?!). I do. I just don’t participate in pool parties or show my pale, bigger-than-I’d-like body off. Well, a girlfriend has come along who promises to make this summer better than past summers with a new line of clothing that is designed to make us all look our best.

Casey, the passionate founder of SLIMPERFECT, decided it was time that we all look and feel our best. So, she created a line of exercise, action and bathing wear that accent what you want accented and hide what you, well, you get it. They make you look great! Here’s more on SlimPerfect:

SlimPerfect™ makes slimming swimwear and activewear for women sizes 8-18. The new SlimPerfect™ collection includes Bikini Tops, Skirts, Skorts, Dresses, Sleeved Dresses, Tankinis, Sleeved Tankinis and Capris that help build confidence at the pool, beach or gym!

REVIEW: Casey sent me a sampling of her beautiful products. I noticed immediately that the fabric and stitching are high quality. They’re very well made.

My favorite were the Capris that (as soon as my tanning lotion kicks in!) I plan to wear to pilates. The great thing about them is that they have a layer similar to a long bike pants/tights underneath them. So, when I’m on the floor doing Pilates, they won’t expose too much. (My poor Pilates instructor and fellow classmates if I were to wear other capris!)

The Sleeved Tankini was a close second as a favorite. The picture on their site kinda shows it, but the sleeves are a kind-of sheer, stretchy fabric. I thought that was a really nice touch. Definitely breatheable and classy. All tops/dresses have gel bra inserts to make sure you look your best. Casey told me about how somewomen take these out and use them in other bras/outfits. They are easy to remove if you don’t want them but seem to make the whole emsemble smooth and beautiful.

The SlimSkort and Dress are also fav’s of mine. The site describes the dress as a classic and modest item – nice way to put it. I know Skorts are very popular with runners and it is very much in style. They’re cute! They all have a classic and stylish look and they’re made in the USA with Brazilian fabric.

Note: If you’re into sunning, you might want another suit to tan in – this one has coverage and thicker ’straps.’ (But again, I’m too old to want to make my skin look any older so this isn’t a concern of mine.)
