Albion Fit Swimwear: Pre / Post and Maternity Belly












Ok ladies, I must say I am OBSESSED with this swimsuit from Albion Fit. I'm loving the bright pink and soft cream color contrast with little ruffles over the bust.  I remember seeing this swimsuit from their New Arrivals and I just had to have it.  I love anything pink and this definitely caught my eye. Let's be honest, I didn't feel the most confident putting on a swimsuit when I'm seven months prego but I thought since this suit had the ruching in the stomach area it could work great for a maternity.  
When you're pregnant you want to find something you feel comfortable and confident in.  

My baby is due in May, so I knew I needed to have it for the next two months and also something for post baby to wear this summer. I normally wear a small in my other swimsuits from Albion Fit so I thought I would try a small in this swimsuit as well and see how it worked. Even though I'm seven months pregnant, the small still honestly worked out perfect. There is so much fabric in the belly area that it fit over my belly comfortably with even some room to grow. The fabric is so durable that I know after my pregnancy it will still retain a great shape. I didn't feel it was stretching the fabric in any way.  It's great because the ruching is flattering on any body type so it can hide that post baby belly this summer.  I also loved the bust line. During pregnancy my chest grows quite a bit and I always look for something that has a good amount of support that I don't feel like I'm falling out of. This swimsuit has removable pads and also has straps you can criss cross for added support if you are heavier chested. The best part is ladies, you will only have to make a one time purchase on a swimsuit that you can wear pregnant and non-pregnant.  


Here are some tips I recommend for sizing: 

Non-pregnant or post pregnancy: Order size you usually wear

Pregnant: I recommend ordering the regular size you usually wear if your going to be pregnant during the summer through your first and second trimester.  If you are going to be in the 
latter part of your second trimester or third trimester the whole summer I still think you would be fine in your regular size but you could order a size up just to be safe.  

*Purchase Strawberry Daiquiri Swimsuit: here.


Here are some other swimsuits I have worn during my pregnancy or that I recommend that flatter any belly: 

One of my favorites I wore all last summer and during this pregnancy: Antigua Floral Icon Swimsuit (You could wear any color in the Icon Swimsuit, I have it in black as well)

If your smaller busted: Garden Isle Swimsuit

Wanting underwire cups: Hula Plum Swimsuit

Flatter any body type or size: Heartbreaker Swimsuit 




Thanks for your support and much love
