Sea Queen Swimwear Relaunches After Ten Years
Sea Queen, a division of leading Canadian women’s apparel manufacturer, Phantom, has relaunched its swimwear line after a ten year hiatus from the market. Previously known for its quality and unparalleled leadership for thirty years, the new line focuses on women thirty-five and older.
In addition to the new collection and look, Sea Queen has developed a revolutionary system called SwimTech ContourLift Bra™, which focuses on the most important part of a beach body. Sea Queen believes that “At the core of every beautiful beach body is a gorgeous bustline”. Then they ‘adapted the latest swimwear trends around the bra” to highlight a woman’s greatest asset, her bust. The new moulded bra keeps a perfect shape whether wet or dry and is made with wires that will never spring out of the material or poke the woman in the skin. Added support is found in the comfort band wrapped about the rib cage and the most amazing feature is the ultra thin padding does not hold water.
You really must take a closer look at this swimwear collection. It is beautiful!
Patriotic Beachwear for Canada Day and US Independence Day
As we all get ready to fly our flags for Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day (July 4th) in the United States, I thought it would be fun to see what companies offer beachwear in the national colours of both countries. I guess the easiest outfit would be to take your Canadian or American flag and make a sarong or pareo to wear beachside while celebrating. But I think there must be a few traditional beachwear retailers out there offering the real thing.
And here is what my patriotic beachwear search turned up:
- Ujena.com offers the perfect maple leaf bikini with adjustable sliding triangles, ties at neck and back of top, completely lined, and made of nylon and lycra. This cute style bikini comes in red top with white bottoms bearing the red Canadian maple leaf on the derrière.
- Sears.ca has a patriotic collection of beachwear including the Joe Boxer “Canadian Chicks Rule” set, with maple leaf tanga bottom and red tank top, “Everyone Loves a Canadian Girl” with cotton-spandex crop top and matching boy shorts, “Wear Your Pride Boy-let briefs, and the very summery Christina® set including the skirted bottom, crossover camisole, halter tankini, bra top with shoulder strap rings, and high waisted panties.
- Venus.com gives us a nice selection of American Fourth of July swimwear. Their collection consists of a cropped tee, bandeau top, mid-rise bottoms and matching wrap skirt, contoured halter top with low-rise bottoms, enhancer triangle top and side split skirted bottom or a triangle top with side tie bottoms.
- AvalonUSA.com has a nice selection of beachwear including a halter or triangle bathing suit top, scrunch, Euro or American bottoms, tie side thong, tie side Brazilian, or tie side American bottoms, hip hugger hot pants and the very hot micro thong bikini set. Made of nylon and spandex, the sizes are very small from 5/6, 7/8, to 9/10 but they do look sexy.
Whether you celebrate the Canadian red and white maple leaf or you celebrate the American red, white and blue stars and stripes, have yourself a GREAT holiday!
