Size Matters When It Comes To Swimwear - Curvy Fashion Forecaster Pat Swift On Miami Swimwear Week

Aug. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- (Miami Beach, FL) Curvy Fashion Forecaster, Pat ("Patti") Swift, the original founder of Plus Models and the sole person responsible for introducing the phrase ‘Plus Model/Size’ into the American vernacular reports that only the young and perfect need apply when it came to designer swimwear seen on the runways during Miami’s recent Swim Week shows. Ms. Swift, who began her long standing career in fashion as one of the very first curvy (Plus) models (Just My Size, Gloria Vanderbilt, Bloomingdales with Christy Brinkley, JC Penney and others) attended Miami Beach’s most recent annual Swim Week event as the exclusive Brand Ambassador for the popular SwimSuitsForAll shopping portal renown for their high quality fashionable, flattering and affordable swimwear that’s suitable for any woman’s unique body type and style.  
   “The shows themselves were really amazing and staged in a number of tents at The Raleigh, which is probably the most classically beautiful hotel in South Beach. The productions could easily rivaled New York Fashion Week, reports the Curvy Fashion Forecaster. However, according to Patti, “the designers had one thing in common: all the swimsuits were made for the 18 to 25 year old customer with perfect bodies and if you didn’t fall into that category – like the 98% of American women today – there was nothing they featured that you’d be able to wear.”   Some of the designers showed really great cover-ups but many didn’t but then again the problem of what to wear under it.”
   So here’s what the Curvy Fashion Forecaster recommends: Swimwear designers need to take a cue from Sportswear designers like Michael Kors and Donna Karen who know that their customer may have some figure flaws that need disguising and are designing for them and not just the young and perfect.  And it’s not just them; even the couture designers like Channel and Dolce Gabbana are now selling in specialty departments like Salon Z in Sak’s Fifth Avenue.
    “I can give any woman an instant tummy tuck with ruching, - that extra piece of elastic with gathers of fabric – which really covers up a lot of figure flaws while being extremely slenderizing,” states Swift. “ Extra lycra and spandex in a suit always helps flatter the body. Look for halter ties and v-necks for a sleeker appearance.”  
   All the features that The Curvy Fashion Forecaster is recommending can be found 24/7, 365 days a year online at SwimSuitsForAll in practically all their pool and beachwear.  “They’re better than the retail stores who just carry swimwear seasonally and if you’re going on vacation during any other part of the year you may be out of luck. Another reason, I recommend SwimSuitsForAll is that they’re always willing to assist you with their swimsuit specialists who are there for you to help guide making the best choices available.
   SwimwearForAll.com President Moshe Laniado says,  "Take the guesswork out of ordering a swimsuit online like our Beach Belle Botanica Empire Swimdress (pictured here) when you shop with one of our experts.  We’re so confident that our specialists can find you the perfect suit that we’ll guarantee it!  Get free shipping on any purchase recommended by a Fit & Flatter Specialist, and if it doesn’t work for you, return & exchange shipping is on us until we get it right."  
   “There’s nothing wrong with being 18 and having a perfect body, it’s not like I have anything against it,” states The Curvy Fashion Forecaster, “but life does change our bodies and if you have a baby there’s definitely going to be some extra skin even if you are a size 4 - you’re going to have that ‘pooch,’ so while swimwear designers begin to catch up with the rest of the industry it’s great to have a resource like SwimSuitsForAll where they understand every woman’s needs not just the young and perfect.  In the real world, I say, all women are created equal”
