Make a splash this summer with Guria Beachwear {review & giveaway}

⋅ 105 Comments


With the warmer season upon us, it’s time to start picking out that perfect summer swimsuit!  Am I the only one who dreads this task?  I have such a hard time because I rarely can find anything that will accommodate a larger cup size and if I do find a suit that fits my top, it will inevitably be a floral print.  Until now!

Meet Guria!

“Guira has wide array of mix-and-match separates including triangles, halters, bandeaus and under-wire tops paired with low-cut American and Brazilian bottoms create a selection of distinctive and detail-rich suits that make any fashionista swoon. You’ll see opulent details, exclusive embellishments and hardware, texture and marine-inspired prints encompassed in a color-rich and bohemian-chic style. Each collection is created with the customer in mind, fashioning suits for every type of woman. While most other swimwear brands cap sizes at C cups, Guria offers Brazilian-cut suits accommodating up to an F cup, so no woman will be turned away by the trauma of bikini shopping.”

Trauma-free shopping?  Hello!

Although Guria does have large busted swimwear, I am still not comfortable strutting my stuff in a bikini.  My adult daughter, on the other hand, is young and braver than myself and jumped at the chance to try out a Guria bikini!

My daughter picked out the Reversible Padded Bandeau and Shirred Banded Bottom from the Pool Party Collection.

The top of this Brazilian swimsuit is reversible, with the animal print on one side and matte black on the other, and the straps are removable giving you many options when wearing this suit.  The high waist, shirred bottom gives you modest to full coverage and a smooth, flattering fit.

This is a very nice bikini!  Even though my daughter is grown, I really am not comfortable with her wearing a bikini that shows too much so I love the high waist and cups that actually keep her girls under wraps. The quality is superb and I love the attention to detail, including a cute little tiny “g” dangling from the hip.

Guria also has a great selection of swimsuit cover ups and a wonderful clearance section!
