I loved swimsuit season until I had two children, via C-Section. After having my girls, buying a swimsuit became a lot less fun. No matter how many sit-ups I do, my body just doesn’t look the same in a swimsuit.
And then I discovered SlimPerfect at Blogher2009! SlimPerfect is a swimsuit that doubles as a tennis dress….and looks great for cocktails. REALLY.
I have the SlimPerfect suit you see in this picture. At 46 years old—-I actually wore this SWIMSUIT to a cocktail party—-and I got tons of compliments on my dress. It was even more fun when I told people that my “little black dress” was a swimsuit.
You have to understand that I am a modest dresser, I have never considered myself a “hot” chick—even back in the days when I could have actually qualified as a “hot” chick! But I felt so good in the black SlimPerfect outfit that I wore it to the MamaPop party at BlogHer.
The amazing thing about the product design is that you could wear it—-at the pool, on the tennis court—-and then you could go to a cocktail party in it. I swear to you, it’s really THAT good.
What does SlimPerfect have to do with travel? You can pack this little black dress and wear it in the evening, to the pool, and wear it to work out in. It’s seriously three outfits in one. You can read about the SlimPerfect fabric, why this product is so unique by visiting the website.
All you really need to know is this: 46-year-old woman. Mother. Wears SlimPerfect to party and everyone thinks it is a little black dress. What more do you need to know? Visit the SlimPerfect website and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Disclosure: My friend Carole Hicks turned me on to SlimPerfect. We were talking at the BlogHer conference and she told me about the products—and I didn’t believe her. She showed me the black dress/swimsuit—-and I fell completely in love and begged her to let me borrow hers. I am not getting compensated for this post—-but I’ve worn the SlimPerfect dress so much, they probably don’t want it back, so I need to pay them for it! I just wanted to make it clear that this product is the real deal and this review is so enthusiastic because as a mom, I haven’t felt good in a bathing suit for about 15 years. Until now.

You are so right! I got my first whistle in 30 years in my Slimperfect black tankini and black skort!!! I was walking over to the pool, feeling confident for the first time in just as many years, not wearing a mans shirt with long tails over my suit while not in the water! I threw my beach towel over my shoulders like a shawl, put on my stylish flipflops and with head held high, walked from my condo to the pool across the way. I have NEVER had the confidence to do this. ( I also am a modest dresser and rightfully so since I went from a size 6 to a 14 over the years.) To my utter delight( ahh such vanity!), I received my very first whistle! Thank You Slimperfect!
Great looking outfit I must say! I am so sure that a lot of my readers will like this amazing innovation. Thanks!
Thanks to slowness of Google Alert, I’m just NOW seeing this post about the night I gave you the dress. In the spirit of *full disclosure* you left out the part where you wrote in lotion on the bathroom mirror to Debba. Do you remember that?! I knew then that you were crazy and I had to make you one of my BFF’s! — XOXOXO Carole a/k/a MuffintopLess
I have the same one, doesn’t it make you feel AWESOME to wear it? I was supposed to be hanging with Carole at BlogHer in my dress, too. I love mine, and love how rockstar I feel in it, after feeling HORRIBLE in bathing suits for about a decade, now, it is a savior.
I love your disclosure about it, too
