In July, summer bodies and dieting programs seem to be everywhere.
On television and online we are inundated with “hit your goal weight fast!” or “lose weight while eating your favorite foods!”. But the worst of the worst are the ads that target freshly postpartum mothers. They promise things like, “drop that baby weight fast!”
Fad dieting and diet culture has become such a normal thing that we hardly bat an eye at these clever marketing tactics. But we would love to remind you that to have a summer body you only need two things.
If your goal is to be a more healthy version of yourself we completely support that!!! And we can help.
Mama, this summer will be over before you know it… so just wear that swimsuit, get in the pool and have FUN! Your baby won’t remember how fit you were, but they will remember your smile.

All of our designs fit true-to-size with an over-sized/relaxed fit (which compensates for extra weight and a larger chest). Our sizes are similar to maternity-wear: order your pre-baby size. If you're between sizes, size down. Typically, the best way to determine your size is to follow your pre-baby size in numbers on the chart (4/6, 8/10, etc). We realize this isn't a "one-size fits all" solution. If you aren't sure, measure your bust, waist, hips and follow the chart. If you get 3 measurements, pick the middle size.
Plus Sizes: We follow a standard U.S. plus chart. Our plus sizes range from 1X-3X. NOTE: An XXL (in misses) is a size 1X in plus sizing.
