Shortini Swimsuits

Shortini Swimsuits : Find the Perfect Shortini that Suits You! Have you thought of shorts in a swimsuit. That's the shortini! I love the sportiness of shortini swimsuits. Sometimes you aren't in the mood for a skirtini or a swimdress; then, this seriously is the style for you. You can still be a little feminine and flirty in this type of swim wear, but with that sporty edge!

Jantzen Purple Vinery Shortini Style Swimsuit
I sure did wear my share of bikinis [not so much string bikinis] when I was enjoying my single life in my twenties. But, as I got older, I experienced that right of passage where I wanted a swim suit that was more appropriate for my age and figure. You and I have had our time in the sun and it is time to consider a shortini swimsuit.

These type of swim suits are great because you can hop on that cruiser bike and ride on down the beach or to the store. Let's check out the styles ... the short version!

What is a shortini swimsuit?
It is technically a two-piece! Have you heard of the shortini swimsuit yet? Actually, it is a brilliant design that sort of takes the sporty bicycle short and brings it to a swim suit.

It is a two-piece swimsuit that has shorts on the bottom instead of panties, a brief, or a skirt. This is the perfect style for women with fuller hips. It covers your butt rather stylishly.

A shortini can almost look a bit like a skirtini. Heard of culottes? When the shorts are a bit fuller, you might get that skirted look.

By the way, don’t tell anybody, but this style is really an updated version of what your grandma might have worn. Take a look at that picture down below. What do you think?

Check out the Beach Belle Cerulean Plus Size Shortini Plus Size Swimsuit Periwinkle. I seriously love blues and the color periwinkle is like an electric blue. So pretty when you are on the beach.

By the way, please don't pay too much attention to the fact that this vendor claims these are a plus size.

Girls, a size 10 is the perfect size.

You can be stylish in all sizes when you have such a pretty color.

I hope you find it in your size!

Skirtini Swimsuits

Skirtini Swimsuits : Find the Perfect Skirtini that Suits You! I do believe that the femininity and flirtiness of pretty skirtini swimsuits cannot be matched by a string bikini! Yep, I'm admitting it. You know, I sure did wear my share of bikinis and maybe one or two string bikinis when I tremendously loved my twenties.

Not your grandmother's swimsuit!

My Confession : I Simply Adore Them!
I like to feel feminine and flirty in my swimsuit! I am thrilled to showcase some lady-like skirtini swimsuits. As I’ve gotten older, I am more particular about how I dress when I want to romp around the beach.

A swimsuit with a skirt can make all the difference. You get a little modesty, and you are still very feminine in the swim suit.

Whilst there is no age limit on who can wear these, I like to think that us gals in our forties, fifties, sixties and beyond ought to be wearing more of these.

Spotlight Skirtini Swimsuit
I love the look of the Reebok Women's Zig Zag Skirted One Piece.

This is such a pretty feminine swimsuit. Yes, you would catch me in it, running along the beach.

It is made of 81% Nylon with 19% Spandex. Hand washing is recommended. The spandex fabric helps to resist chlorine.

It also has an antimicrobial silver lining that helps to create a bacteriostatic environment, making it very difficult for bacteria and other microorganisms to grow. You also get an anti-bounce bra with surround support and tummy control. It does come in a variety of sizes so that you can find the perfect skirtini swimsuit to suit YOU!

What are skirtini swimsuits?
It is technically NOT a one-piece. What do the style critics say about this style of swimsuit?

Well, it is a bit like the popular tankini, but it has a longer styled top to cover your midriff. And, the tankini bottoms are generally like a pair of panties or briefs. The skirtini naturally has a bottom that is a skirt with those panties or brief underneath.

The tops to this style of swim suit can be quite different in style.

The swimdress might resemble the skirtini in style because of the commonality of a skirt; however, that swimdress is really a one-piece swimsuit!

You can find this style of swimwear by many designers … and I can freely admit that I have several!

Size 10
This is the perfect size for us older ladies. We find that a lot of exercising and good nutrition can get us into shape, but gone are the days of sizes less than 10. I've come to that conclusion. We need to not be so hard on ourselves. You can look good in a perfect ten.

Speedo Women's Aquatic Endurance+ Piped Sheath Dress Swimsuit

There comes a certain time in our lives that you really should consider covering up a bit more when you head for the beach. You had your time in the sun and it is time to consider a flattering swimdress!

In my opinion, ladies looks classy in a swimdress. Thanks to the internet, we can find all kinds of great swimwear from the comfort of our own homes. If you find that a certain designer fits you, then all you have to do is search for that designer to find the perfect swimsuit.

Cast your stylish vote please!
Do you or don't you? Have you graduated to the swimdress YET?
  1. Yes, and I love what it does for my figure
  2. No, I'm actually just into skirtini swimsuits
  3. Nope, just regular two pieces
  4. HECK!!! give me a string bikini YEAH!
Why the swimdress?
Ladies! I have put together this stylish page because this is a bit of fashion that matters to me! I care about being in style no matter if I am going shopping, to work, possibly to church, or to the beach.

When I was in my twenties, the selection of swimwear wasn’t all that stylish. Sure, we had a lot of the Jantzen brand which I learned about when I worked during the Summer at our municipal pool. I had a bright orange one piece swimsuit … but it wasn’t a swim dress!

Today, we girls are really lucky because the designers are designing options for us to look more feminine. You can give yourself a little bit of a cover-up with a swim dress. Why not give it a whirl for yourself!

I like how you can twirl around in your little swim dress. I like it so much, I had to drop everything and craft this page to share my stylish sense with you. I hope you love what I’ve picked out!

Spotlight Swimdress
I personally love the look of the Speedo Women's Active Swim Dress.

Speedo is such a great brand. It was Speedo that I was wearing for my very first one piece swimsuit all those years ago when I was a young woman. Fast forward to today! And, Speedo is still around - making stylish swimdresses and other swimwear for stylish women.

This swimdress is made of 80% Nylon and 20% Xtra Life Lycra. The Xtra life lycra fabric lasts 5 to 10 times longer to give you more value for your money. You get a core compression fabric panel that trims and slims your abdomen. The soft cup bra provides greater modesty and support. This dress silhouette styling looks great on all body types.

I’ve been researching swimwear for years and have gotten to know the brand names that are most popular. You can find sharp swimdresses by many designers … and I can freely admit that I have several!

Oh my, to be a size 6 again. I don't think it will happen for me, but celebrate yourself! If this is your size, make the most of it.

Size 8
Well, what a great size -- not too tiny. I think this was my size for most of my single adult life. Then, I got a little older. So, girls -- take my advice! Go out and boogie and have fun in the sun. Keep it in moderation, but make the most of this time.

I think this just might be the perfect size ... you know how you always hear the expression, "perfect ten?" Well, I still can wear this size and I am an older gal. You'll be smiling in this size ... have fun before you get older!

Quite a majority of women are actually this size and even larger. Nothing to be ashamed about, more woman to love. And, you owe it to yourself to look as stylish as you can. Here are some swim suits which might interest you!

Carol Wior Swimsuits and Shapewear

Carol Wior Shape Detector Swimsuits and Stylish Shapewear. Carol Wior has patented slimsuits, shape detector swimsuits, which are designed to take an inch off your swimsuit size. You can also find stylish body shapewear to give you the crowning edge on your figure!

Carol Wior's swimsuits actually come with a measuring tape! One of my favorites is the Carol Wior Shape Detector Classic Shirred Tummy Thinner Tank Swimsuit.

I don't mind admitting that I have a couple of Carol Wior's slimsuits and lace tank tops because I like how great I look in them.

Do you love Carol Wior and her slimsuit?
Cast your vote please! Are you a fan of her slimming fashion?
  1. Thank goodness yes!
  2. Haven't tried it, but I would if I need it.
  3. Naw, let it ALL hang out!

Carol Wior invented the Slimsuit!
The slimsuit is a women’s swimsuit that was guaranteed to take an inch or more off the waist or tummy and look natural.



A Slimsuit has a built-in lining that shapes the body in specific areas, hiding bulges and giving a smooth, firm appearance. Slimsuits were sold with a tape measure as a marketing device to emphasis the slimming features of the new swimsuit.




Carol Wior was already a successful designer when she invented a new type of women’s swimsuit. While on vacation in Hawaii, Wior noticed herself pulling and tugging on her swimsuit, while trying to get it to cover her properly. Wior also noticed that when she wore her regular swimsuit she would always try to hold her stomach flat.

Carol Wior realized that women were uncomfortable and body conscious in their swimsuits and began to think of ways to make a better women’s swimsuit. Two years and a hundred swimsuits later, Carol Wior achieved the design she wanted – the Slimsuit. –Reference Source: Carol Wior inventor
