Looking for something to do on a hot afternoon? Take a trip to one of the 7 best splash pads in Utah - you won't be disappointed!

At Lime Ricki, we've made it our mission to create high-quality swimsuits for women of all ages and body types. As a women-run small business, we believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their skin – this means we’re very selective about the swimsuit materials we choose for our suits! In fact, the anatomy of a swimsuit is actually super interesting, and the swimsuit design process can vary depending on whom the suits are intended for. For example, our plus-sized and mastectomy-friendly swimsuits are made with the same quality materials, but they feature a few modifications to make them more beneficial for these women.

If you want to know how our expert design team creates the newest looks each season, then this is the post for you! Read on to discover more about the Lime Ricki research, manufacturing, and editing processes we use to bring our new collections of stylish, modest swimwear to life. In addition to the behind-the-scenes of our design process, we’ll also share how we alter our basic designs to be more inclusive, focusing on our swimwear for plus-sized women and those who have undergone mastectomy surgeries.

Modest Swimwear for Every Body at Every Age

At Lime Ricki, we are proud to support and work with women of every age. We believe that by working with others, we get a better collection of swimsuits designed to support all sorts of needs. From our seasonal models to our employees, we get excited to collaborate with new people and celebrate every opportunity to represent women in the swimwear industry – that's why we still never airbrush or photoshop our models! Our designs were created to be inclusive, modest, flattering, and stylish, all at the same time.

As sisters who proudly belong to the women-over-50 crowd, we are also huge proponents of maintaining and prioritizing an active, healthy lifestyle. We do our best to incorporate features into our suits that make them ideal for people like us who live active lifestyles. In the past, we have designed swimwear that easily transitions to activewear, as well as various pieces that can double as both a swimsuit and exercise attire. Our swim dresses are a great example, as they’re perfect for just about any occasion. Whether your kids' activities keep you busy, or you just feel like activewear keeps you more energized, we get it and design with you in mind.

But our design process goes further than the swimsuits’ silhouettes; we spend just as much time choosing the perfect patterns and bold colors that are meant to boost everyone’s confidence. Some of our unique designs are created with color blocking, pattern mixing, or strategically draped and ruched fabrics. This creates a more balanced silhouette, which is flattering on every woman, regardless of body type. Additionally, our swim styles also offer more coverage than the average swimsuit, particularly in the hips, thighs, chest, and tummy areas. This is intentional on our end, as we aim to provide more comfort and modesty.

Ultimately, we believe that the coverage of our suits paired with the stunning designs are what makes us adored by so many women. We understand the struggle of shopping for a swimsuit all too well, and we know that the experience can be even more daunting for those of us who prefer a look with more coverage. Sure, there might be plenty of one-pieces and tankini options, but they’re never as cute as the traditional bikinis. Instead, these "blah" suits often only come in boring colors and patterns – how are you supposed to feel confident in that kind of suit? We were tired of the limited (and ugly) options, so we decided to do something about it. And thus, Lime Ricki was born; we’ve been designing the kind of swimsuits we’d want to buy ever since.

Plus-Size Swimsuits: So Every Body Can Feel Cute and Confident

At Lime Ricki, we believe that every body is a beach body, no matter what shape or size. We’re proud to offer inclusive sizing in all of our swimwear collections, carrying swimsuits up to 4X. We have designed these suits accordingly; our plus-size swimsuits are created with different accommodations in mind to meet the unique needs and preferences of plus-size bodies. Our plus-size swimsuits are not just larger versions of regular swimsuits. Instead, they are tailored to fit and flatter the unique curves of a fuller figure. These suits are made from high-quality, stretchy swimsuit materials that provide extra support while enhancing the natural shape of the body. For our swimwear, we’ve chosen a well-researched blend of nylon and spandex that offers plenty of comfort without sacrificing the support you need in a suit.

One of the key features of Lime Ricki's plus-size swimsuits is the use of adjustable straps. The straps on our swimsuits are wider and adjustable, providing extra support for those with larger busts. Additionally, the straps are designed to be comfortable and not dig into the shoulders, making them ideal for long days at the beach or pool. There’s nothing worse than trying to enjoy a day in the sun, but struggling due to an uncomfortable swimsuit. With Lime Ricki suits, you can say goodbye to your days of feeling awkward and stiff, and instead focus on what really matters – getting back in the water, and boosting your confidence in the process.

Another essential design aspect of our plus-size swimsuits is the use of strategically placed patterns and colors. These patterns and colors help to accentuate curves and draw attention to the areas of the body that the wearer wants to highlight. They are also intentionally placed to create a slimming effect, so you can feel confident and beautiful while having fun in the sun.

It’s important to note that these patterns are the same ones we use for our straight-size swimsuits – we don’t alter them for larger sizes, so everyone can enjoy the same stylish prints and bold colors that make Lime Ricki swimsuits so adored. This is a drastic difference in comparison to some of the plus-size suits you’d find in the average store. Instead of relying on dark colors and slimming designs, our goal is to provide plus-size women with the same fashionable options that are usually (unfairly) reserved for straight-sized women.

Mastectomy-Friendly Swimsuits: Designed For Women Like Us

We love every piece of swimwear that we've designed, but some collections hold a special place in our hearts. We understand that for women who have undergone a mastectomy, finding a swimsuit that is comfortable, flattering, and functional can be a seriously difficult task. As breast cancer survivors ourselves, we understand the unique needs of these strong women. Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer three times in her twenties and carries the BRCA1 mutation that causes us to be at a higher risk. Jennifer also carries this mutation, and she beat ovarian cancer in her 40s! While Colette does not carry the mutation, she’s been by our side through it all.

Since we have such a personal relationship with breast cancer, we feel a deep connection with other women who are in the fight at well. Because of this, we used our cancer experience to design swimwear specifically tailored to meet the needs of others who have undergone the surgery. Our mastectomy-friendly swimsuits aim to provide swimwear that helps you feel secure and confident in your body while enjoying your time in the water.

There are many additional features included in the design of these suits that aren’t found in a traditional Lime Ricki swimsuit design. Our mastectomy-friendly swimsuits feature a pocketed bra with adjustable straps, providing the necessary support for prosthetics. The pocketed bra is also designed to be comfortable and not irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, our mastectomy-friendly swimsuits feature the use of the same high-quality, stretchy fabrics that provide support and enhance the natural shape of the body. While these are the same fabrics we use for all of our suits, the nylon-spandex blend is extremely soft and comfortable, making it ideal for women who have undergone surgery and may have sensitive skin.

But our mastectomy swimsuits are more than just a comfortable line of swimwear. We really wanted to create stylish suits that would boost the confidence of women who have or are currently battling cancer. These styles include higher necklines, adjustable straps, comfortable fabrics, and additional support. The swimsuits feature patterns and colors that are both trendy and timeless, making them a great choice for women of all ages and styles.

As you can see, this is a cause that’s very close to our hearts, and we’re incredibly proud of our mastectomy-friendly swimsuit collection. If you’d like to check out our adorable options, feel free to browse the Flourish and Bloom collection – a line we created in partnership with our friends at Stage. These swimsuits were designed to celebrate strength and joy in every stage of life. Plus, a portion of every purchase from the collection is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in support of women and families searching for a cure.

Behind-The-Scenes of Our Design Process

Now that we’ve reviewed the basics of how we create inclusive suits for all bodies, let’s take a closer look at our swimsuit design process. The general design process at Lime Ricki begins with a team of designers who come up with various ideas for new swimsuits. These ideas are then presented to the rest of the team, including our product development and marketing members, for feedback and refinement. Our design team also takes into account feedback from customers, including their preferences for colors, patterns, and styles.

Once the design is finalized, we create a sample of the swimsuit, which is then tested for fit, comfort, and durability. Lime Ricki is committed to creating swimsuits that fit well and feel comfortable, so we always ensure that each swimsuit is designed with the customer in mind. For this process, we pay close attention to three aspects: materials, fit, and style.

High-Quality Materials

We use a variety of materials in our swimsuits, including nylon, spandex, and polyester. These materials are chosen for their durability, stretch, and comfort. At Lime Ricki, we also use eco-friendly materials, such as recycled polyester, whenever possible. We’re always trying to reduce our environmental impact as often as we can!

Additionally, one of the unique features of Lime Ricki swimsuits is the use of UPF 50+ fabric, which is a specially-treated material that protects from the sun's harmful UV rays. This feature is particularly important for customers who spend a lot of time outdoors or participate in water sports, but it’s beneficial for anyone who’s going to be exposed to the sun. For more information about our materials and our SPF swimwear, check out another, more in-depth post for your guide to our swimsuit materials.

The Perfect Fit

At Lime Ricki, fit is a top priority. We proudly offer a wide range of sizes, from XS to 4X, to ensure that every customer can find a swimsuit that fits well and feels comfortable. In addition, we also design a wide range of swimsuits in various styles, including one-piece, two-piece, and tankini. This allows us to accommodate different body types and preferences, allowing every woman to find their dream swimsuit from Lime Ricki.

To make sure our customers find the perfect fit, we provide detailed sizing information on our website, including exact measurements for each size we offer. Additionally, our Fit Finder quiz is a resource we provide to aid our customers in finding the right swimsuit size. This quiz was designed by a professional bra fitter and uses measurements from thousands of real women. Based on your response, we’re able to recommend different sizes and styles that will work best for you. Customers can also contact our customer service team for assistance with sizing and fit!

Wide Range of Styles

Here at Lime Ricki, we’re best known for our stylish and colorful swimsuits. We offer a wide range of prints and patterns, including florals, stripes, and solids, to appeal to different tastes and preferences. We also have numerous designs in a variety of styles, including high-waisted bottoms, halter tops, and off-the-shoulder tops, to accommodate different body types and styles.

In addition to our regular swimsuit collections, we also feature limited edition collections, which include unique prints and styles that are only available for a short time. We love designing these collections because they’re a great way to keep our brand fresh and exciting while also appealing to our lovely customers who are looking for something unique and special.

Responsible Production

Our suits are made in responsible factories right here in the United States. We value the long relationships we have built with our factories and consider them not just partners in our business, but also friends. We visit the factories each year (often multiple times each year) to ensure our suits are sewn with the quality and care that we expect and to make sure conditions and practices are safe and ethical for all of the sewers and workers.

We’re proud to share that all of our swimwear is produced in small batches to reduce our environmental impact. We do not order over-stock fabric so we can reduce excess yardage, and we look for creative ways to use remnants, like making hair scrunchies or using them for prototypes in the design process. It's important to us to be as responsible as we can during the manufacturing process.

We hope this post on the anatomy of a swimsuit has provided some interesting insight into our design process. Whether you're plus-size or have undergone a mastectomy, we have a swimsuit that will fit and flatter your unique curves! Lime Ricki swimwear is made from high-quality, stretchy fabrics that provide support and enhance the natural shape of the body. Specialized designs also feature adjustable straps and pocketed bras, providing the necessary support for larger busts and prosthetics.

Lime Ricki swimsuits are designed to provide comfortable, supportive, and flattering swimwear options that help you feel confident and comfortable in your body. What makes our swimwear perfect for you? Let us know and tag us in your posts on TikTok or Instagram!

When you’re running errands or headed for the beach on those long, hot summer days, the last thing you want to do is carry around multiple different outfits to change into. What if we told you that we created the perfect solution with the Lime Ricki swim dress!? This versatile piece is a great example of skate style – clothing that has multiple functions or can be worn for different purposes. As experienced swim designers, we take pride in knowing that our suits are made to be comfortable and practical, making it easy to transition from one activity to the next.

In this post, we’ll be sharing a few of our recommendations for how to style your favorite Lime Ricki suits to be suitable for everyday wear. We’ll be giving you styling tips for our swim dresses, highlighting one of our most versatile collections, and showing you how to accessorize your swimsuit to go from the beach to the store without stressing about what you’re wearing.

How To Style Your Favorite Swim Dress

Lime Ricki swim dresses are a great option for anyone looking for a multipurpose swimsuit. Featuring a dress on the outside and a one-piece suit underneath, this suit is ideal for a variety of activities. Whether you’re swimming in the ocean, getting a workout in on the tennis court, or grabbing a bite to eat after a day at the beach, you’ll stay supported and comfortable in this swimsuit. Plus, since these dresses already look like “acceptable” everyday attire, you don’t have to worry about modifying them for different activities. You can head from the pool straight to the farmers’ market, just as you are! Of course, if you want to dress up your look, you can always add accessories. We’ll share more of our tips for elevating your swimwear in this post.

Product Spotlight: The Tennis Court Collection
Our Tennis Court Collection is your one-stop shop for all the versatile swimwear you need. For this collection, we were inspired by two themes – the bright, bold colors of 80s preppy style, and the retro vibe of our favorite summertime sport, tennis! We wanted to create stylish pieces that could easily be worn on and off the court (and really, everywhere in between). For example, the cycling-inspired design of our bike shorts pairs perfectly with our bralettes and knotted crop tops, letting you go from your workout to the beach with ease. These suits are perfect for all your favorite activities, but they’re also great for daily wear – especially the Garden Party Bike Short and the Garden Party Swim Dress!

Elevate Your Look With Accessories
One of the easiest ways to make your swimsuit look more presentable is to accessorize. For example, most of our swimsuit tops can double as everyday tank tops when paired with a pair of shorts or a skirt. Throw on a colorful bandana or a sun hat, and you have the perfect beach-to-town outfit with minimal effort. If you’re looking for some accessory inspo, check out our Women’s Accessories page. We have a variety of t-shirts, bandanas, crewnecks, and cushion slides in bold colors for you to choose from, so you can add your own flair to any outfit!

We put a lot of effort into designing swimwear that’s practical and versatile while still being stylish and comfortable.

At Lime Ricki, we offer a wide variety of modest and fashionable swimwear for our customers to choose from. One of our newest pieces is the swim dress, which is a stylish minidress silhouette that offers additional coverage over your thighs! In this post, we’re offering an in-depth review of our swim dress, focusing on the design, material, and performance of the suit so you’ll be able to decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Design: Supportive and Flattering
Lime Ricki swim dresses offer a unique two-in-one look that’s perfect for wearing in and out of the water. On the outside, you’ll first notice the dress, which features adjustable straps for easy customization. Underneath, you’ll find a one-piece bathing suit complete with built-in bust support, including a double-lined shelf bra and sewn-in foam cups (except for size XXS, which has no padding). Our swim dresses are available in an inclusive range of sizes XXS to 4X and are flattering on all body types. Lime Ricki swim dresses were designed with your comfort in mind, but they still offer plenty of support and coverage as well. Beyond having a supportive design, our swim dresses are available in a variety of colors and patterns. Bold patterns such as Garden Party and Claus are perfect for making a statement, but if bright colors aren’t your thing, you can find the same dress in Black, for a neutral look.

Material: Comfortable and Protective
The Lime Ricki swim dress is made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex, so it’s super comfortable, making it perfect for a variety of activities. The nylon and spandex combination also allows the suit to maintain its original shape after each use/wash. These suits are designed with UV 50+ protection in the fabric, so you can stay safe while enjoying a day soaking up the sunshine. No more worrying about getting burnt through your suit! Lime Ricki swimsuits feature fabrics designed to protect against SPF damage, so you don’t have to worry about your suit becoming discolored from your sunscreen. There’s nothing worse than having your favorite swimsuit get ruined by a sunscreen stain, so we make sure all of our suits are protected from the beginning.

Performance: Versatile and Swim-Approved
The best thing about these swim dresses is that they can be worn just about anywhere! The dress design offers plenty of coverage, so you can wear it straight from the beach to dinner without worrying about changing outfits or finding a cover-up. Need to pop into the store before hitting the pool? Swim dresses are perfect for running errands! Having this kind of versatility in a piece can be extremely helpful, especially when the weather gets so warm that you can hardly stand being out of the water. Swim dresses let you go about your day without worrying about what you’re wearing. Plus, they’re so comfortable, you won’t want to take them off!

Even though swim dresses provide more coverage than a traditional two-piece suit, you won’t feel held back or restricted in them. In fact, you might actually appreciate the extra support the dress has to offer! The combination of nylon and spandex provides just the right amount of support and flexibility, so you can continue to participate in your favorite activities, both in and out of the water. We really love this piece, and we think you will, too!

FAQs
Q: Can I wear a swim dress as a regular dress?
A: YES! Wear your Lime Ricki swim dress just like you would a regular dress. You can change up your look with accessories and feel comfortable all day (and night!), that's part of what we love about our swim dresses.

Q: Do you wear anything under your swim dress?
A: No. The swim dress has swim shorts underneath the skirt bottom and you should not wear underwear under your swimsuit.

Finding a swimsuit that’s flattering and makes you feel supported is hard, and it feels like the task just continues to become more difficult as we age. Mature swimwear targeted at older women always seems to be a gamble – will it offer enough coverage without looking frumpy? Will it be supportive and flattering, or will it show off all our insecurities? And the biggest issue of all seems to lie in the style itself. When you’re shopping for swimwear over 50, you don’t always have the same cute options that are geared toward younger women. In fact, most swimwear for older women is often only available in boring colors and unflattering silhouettes.

At Lime Ricki, we believe that all our swimwear can work for women of all ages - so we don’t need to have a separate line of swimsuits for older women. Instead, we designed many two-piece and one-piece styles that offer different levels of coverage. We have popular pieces like our high-neck tankini tops that comfortably cover the stomach area and long sleeve rash guards to help protect your skin from the sun. We also have different swim bottoms, from classic bikinis and ultra-high waist bottoms to swim skirts. Your swim style should be based on your needs and what you feel most comfortable in.

We know how discouraging swimsuit shopping can be, and we want all our customers to feel comfortable and confident in their skin. So that’s where Lime Ricki comes in!

Our mission is rooted in self-love and body positivity, so we’re not here to tell you that you need to hide your imperfections. Instead, we want you to celebrate your body by continuing to do all the activities you love, including hitting the waves and lounging on the beach. You don’t have to sacrifice style for support in your favorite Lime Ricki swimsuit! We are proud to offer a wide range of swimsuits in various styles, which we thoughtfully design with all body types in mind. Plus, our modest and stylish swimwear also defends against harsh UV rays, so your skin is protected in and out of the water. In this post, we’ll be sharing our favorite Lime Ricki pieces that are perfect for older women looking for a bit more coverage.

Our Favorite Swimwear Options for Older Women

If you’re over 50 and you’re looking for swimwear, you might want some inspiration as you start your search. We can definitely help with that! Here are five of our favorite swim-piece combos that would be perfect for older women. We chose swimwear combinations that offer various levels of coverage, so no matter how much skin you feel comfortable showing, you’ll find a suit that works for you!

1. Tankinis + High-Waisted Bottoms
   Our modest tankinis paired with high-waisted swim bottoms make a comfortable combo that provides plenty of coverage without going into one-piece or swim skirt territory. The tankini offers full coverage of the stomach area, which is also obscured by the high-waisted bottoms. Our tankinis are available in a wide range of styles, from the bright colors and bold patterns of the Lars collection to the dainty florals found in our Summer House Collection. You’re able to choose from different cuts as well, including square neck, double cinch, boat neck, one-shoulder, and more.
   
   
2. Crop Top + Swim Skirt or Shorts
   Looking for more coverage around the hips and thighs? Our modest swim skirts and shorts offer the perfect solution! Pairing these sporty bottoms with one of our modest swim crop tops and bralettes makes for a fresh look while still offering the support and coverage you’re looking for. We have many different styles of crop tops, so feel free to mix and match colors and patterns to find the perfect suit to compliment your unique personality! (If you want more coverage, you can swap the crop top for a tankini.)
   
   
3. Square Neck Crop + Boy Shorts
   If skirts aren’t really your style, but you still want more coverage on your bottom half, we think you’ll love our boy shorts. Available in a variety of colors and two different lengths, these swim shorts are great for all kinds of activities. They pair perfectly with any of our tops, but we recommend checking out the square-neck crops, as they feature thick straps, a built-in shelf bra, and plenty of coverage. Try pairing the Peri High-Waist Boy Short with the Garden Party Square Neck Crop – we think you’ll love it!
   
   
4. One-Pieces
   Feel more comfortable in a one-piece? We have plenty of modest one piece swimsuits in fun patterns and designs, so you never have to settle for a boring suit again! Some suits like our Knotted One-Piece design, feature a small front cutout underneath a tie that knots under the bust. This is our most popular one-piece design, as its thick straps and flattering silhouette look great on all body types. But if you aren’t into the cutout, our Sunset Stripe Ruched One-Piece offers a flattering pattern with the addition of textured ruching around the stomach area.
   
   
5. Swim Dresses
   You might be weary when we say the words “swim dress,” especially if you’ve ever struggled shopping for swimwear as an older woman. But these aren’t your typical boring swim dresses – Lime Ricki dresses offer even more coverage than our one-pieces, but they’re just as comfortable and flattering! These dresses are also perfect for wearing out and about, so whether you need to run a few errands before hitting the beach or get a quick workout in, you can rock a swim dress for every activity. Check out the Claus Swim Dress – and you can even purchase the matching Claus Bandana to go along with it! – both pieces are part of our new Lime Ricki x The House that Lars Built Collection.

Get In The Water at Any Age

We know the feeling all too well, so we decided to do something about it by creating our own line of inclusive swimwear. No matter your size or age, you’ll find a Lime Ricki suit that makes you feel confident and supported while doing the things you love!
