  1. I LOVE the monaco swim top, it’s so cute!

  2. OOOH a giveaway.. and I was just telling my husband that i NEEDED a new swimsuit!
    I love the St. Tropez top. My top half (chest…area) is small in size thanks to my four wonderful children~ I’ve heard wonderful things about Shade.. Im excited to give them a try. 🙂 Thanks!

  3. I think the Cannes swim top would be most flattering on me. (And I love it!)

  4. I so need a swimsuit!!

    I love the Ibiza Swim top! I think it would be awesome with my soft center!!

  6. Yeah! I once owned the St. Tropez in turquoise, and loved it. But, it was stolen out of my car last summer. I’d love to try the Monaco in turquoise…. fingers crossed! Thanks so much.

  7. The striped Cannes in coral would be flattering on me. The diagonal stripes in the tummy area are just what this mommy needs. Plus the top looks like it would best support a larger bust, again right up my alley. I would love to win this! I have been eyeing these suits for the last few weeks!

  8. I’d love the Ibiza Swim top! The v-neck would attract attention to my face and away from my pear shaped hips, while the empire waist would flatter my slim waist. I’d pair it with the Slimmer Swim bottoms, which would help minimize my hips.

  9. The Ibiza print top in abstract stripe, paired with the swim skirt in solid black, should help balance out my pearish shape.

  10. The Ibiza swim top and Slimmer Swim bottoms in fuchsia.
    The wide V of the top is flattering on a lesser endowed top and balances out my lower half. The slimmer bottoms help out too. And the fuchsia color makes you look tanner, and a (fake) tan hides a multitude of sins.

  11. I think the Riviera swim top in violet and the swim skirt in violet would be great for me. I’d love a new swimsuit!

  12. My favorite is the turquoise Monoco. I think it’d fit my figure the best, and I love the color!

  13. I think the Cannes swim top would flatter me. The straps would frame my shoulders and the diagonal stripes would distract from my less-than-stellar tummy.

  14. i’m crazy about the st. tropez print top! and those slimmer swim bottoms are cute. i’ve been trying to get my hands on a shade swimsuit for a while now! i LOVE them!

  15. I like the Ibiza Print Swim Top!

  16. the monaco swim top in turquoise. pick me!

  17. The Riviera swim top and slimmer swim bottoms- can’t go wrong with slimming!

  18. I love the Riviera Swim top in violet paired with the swim skirt. I would love a new swim suit, so I can look stylin’ while I chase my kiddos around the pool this year!

  19. I think I would like the St. Tropez top.

  20. the monaco swim top in turquois! i’m small in the chest area, so the little bow would help it look more interesting up there.

  21. I hope the Ibiza swim print top would be most flattering, just cause I like it the best.

  22. I want a Cannes swimsuit in black to flatter my recently-post baby body and extra large chest!

  23. Striped Cannes Swim Top for me! I like that the pattern can hide what needs hidden, and the ladies would stay where they belong!

  24. I love the monaco swim top and the skirt bottoms. All of them are so darn cute! Great giveaway!

  26. st tropez all the way baby!

  27. I’m liking the monaco in coral. 🙂

  28. I think the Monaco Swim Top would look really cute on me and would really bring out my eyes

  29. I let a friend know about your giveaway!

  30. I let a friend know about your giveaway!

  31. Also, right now I’m leaning towards the plaid riviera swim top paired with the swim skirt in violet. Such a beautiful and unique patter for a swimsuit!

  32. I love the Riviera top with the violet swim skirt bottom. It would help my pear figure look a little less pear-ish.

  33. The plaid riviera would get my vote–it covers the best, and the darts and ruffle would be great for this small-chested gal!

  34. The striped Cannes swim top would be best for me to detract from my belly (thanks to my 8 kiddos!) because of the diagonal stripes and the empire seam. The swim skirt would also be best to provide coverage for my hips and thighs.

  35. Hmmm, I’m torn between St. Tropez in turquoise and the Ibiza top in Hibiscus! I love the large graphic print. I think either one would work well with my smaller top half. 🙂

  37. Definitely the slimmer swim bottom and I think the ibiza in black top because I have a big chest.

  38. Living in Palau, I NEED a bathing suit alot. I adore the St. Tropez in Sea Glass with the Swim Skirt in Turquoise. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  39. I like the Ibeza print swim top with the cute flower pattern would be perfect. I’ve been wanting to try out a shade swimsuit.

  41. I think the plaid riviera top would be the best fit for me. I am somewhat big busted, and the thicker straps will help me with the support. Not to mention, it’s super cute!

  42. I think the striped cannes swim top would be perfect and is oh so cute!

  45. I love the Ibiza Print Swim Top! I think it would help camouflage my midle.

  46. I love the Manaco top in Turquoise and the swim skirt to match. So cute! I love that these suits give modest coverage. That’s not always easy to come by and still look cute.

  47. Ibiza in a solid color – I think? I have a really hard time finding swim suits with enough support for the girls.

  48. I really like the Tropez swim top and swim skirt. So modest and cute.

  51. I have been drooling over these since they were released this year! I want the Ibiza top. Thank you!

  52. Love the striped Cannes top and slimmer swim bottoms. Such great styles!

  53. Oh, I desperately need a new swimsuit! I would probably go with the St. Tropez Swim Top in sea glass & a turquoise swim skirt. Super cute, & no cover-up needed!

  60. i’m smaller chested (when i’m not nursing), so i think one with embellishment there might help…like the st. tropez printed.

    but i love the cannes striped too!

  61. I love shade and all of their new swimsuits this season!
    The St. Tropez top is to die for. I would love to win this giveaway 🙂

  62. The Monaco swim top because I am small on top and the skirt because since my babies I am shy about my legs (the upper part especially!). And all in turquoise :)!

  63. The Riviera would suit my smaller bust. Ruffles are like a good piece of jewelery!

  64. Since I have a lower figure, I would choose the Riviera Swim Top and the Slimmer Swim Bottom (plus who doesn’t love ruffles?). The Print Ibiza Swim Top would be another good option and I love the colors on it!

    🙂

  65. I like the Ibiza swim top and the swim skirt. I really need a new swimsuit!

  66. St. Tropez abstract geo print top with a swim skirt please!

  67. I love the striped cannes swim top! Fun and flattering! Perfect timing, I am in need of a new swimsuit!! 🙂

  68. I like the black and white IBIZA top with the skirt bottom. I could see myself lounging on a beach somewhere in that!

  69. I love the Monaco and I love Shade!

  70. The Cannes Swim top and Swim Skirt bottom are fabulous! I think black would be more flattering to me, but I really like the Light Aqua color alot!! What a nice concept – modest bathing suits!

  71. I love the striped cannes swim top. The stripes are so cute and I really like the neckline. It looks like it would stay in place really well.

  72. I really like the PLAID RIVIERA SWIM TOP…very adorable! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
    Heidi~

  75. I think the Ibiza Swim Top with slimmer bottoms would be just perfect !

  76. I think I like the Cannes top in black. Pick me!

  77. Maybe I’m cheating because I already tried on the Ibiza at the store and liked it, but needed the larger size and was just too lazy to go through the whole trying-on thing again. Maybe it’s because I was destined to win it here so that’s why I didn’t buy it?!?

  78. I love the Ibiza top in black and the swim skirt in black also. Great giveaway!

  79. Monaco Swim Top is my favorite!! Love it!

  80. I emailed my sisters about this giveaway!

  84. The striped Cannes top would work great with my shoulders and middle. And the slimmer swim bottom would help that problem area!

  85. the striped cannes suit has been love at first sight!! hopefully the stripes would help bulk up my flat-chested body…

  88. I have been eyeing the ibiza top + slimmer bottom for a few weeks now. This is a fabulous giveaway!

  90. oou,let’s see… the Riviera top for me, I can’t resist a ruffle!

  91. The striped Cannes swim top and skirt bottom. That would be an amazing gift to this 3rd baby post-partum body!

  92. I like the Ibza Swim top cause the slightly plunging neckline will draw attention away from my middle figure. ANd I am thinking that those slimmer swimmer bottons would help a lot too!

  93. St. Tropaz swim top would work best for me. Thinking positive thoughts. I hope I win. I hope I win. I hope I win. Never really works but it’s worth a try.

  94. St. Tropaz swim top would work best for me. Thinking positive thoughts. I hope I win. I hope I win. I hope I win. Never really works but it’s worth a try.

  95. i know the st tropex would be best…tie up the girls nice and high, in the sea glass it has a great vertical pattern that i need to elongate my mini torso!

  96. I would love the St. Tropez Print Swim Top in palm frawns. Also the Slimmer Swim Bottoms.
    Thanks! Emily Huber

  97. I have put off buying a new swim suit for years. I absolutely love the ibiza swim top!

  98. I love the Ibizia print swim top (in the stripes, to confuse the eye)!

  99. I love the ruffles on the Riviera Swim Top!!

  100. I like the side shirring on the ibeza swim top–it might cover my “mummy tummmy” in a more flattering way., I also like the waist bands on the bottoms–no more muffin tops please!

  101. My heart sings every time I see the St. Tropez print tops — I love them SO much 🙂

  102. I love the nice swim top in black. Its so cute and I think it would flatter my figure the best!

  103. I love the Cannes Print Swim Top in coral stripe. The halter with a tie-back would provide excellent support for my top half and the stripe pattern would give a great distraction from my “mummy tummy.”

  104. The Monaco top is my favorite.

  105. I do believe the Monaco in coral just might make this post baby bod look better this summer!!!

  106. Monaco looks like it will keep the cleavage contained–and it’s charming!

  107. Ooo I love the Cannes Print. It’s not too revealing but doesn’t loose any pretty by being conservative.

  108. I love that St. Tropez Swim top and the skirted bottoms to go with it! So, so cute! I already love Shade clothing, so I know the swimwear would be just as good

  109. I love the Monaco swim top in coral. The extra embellishments up top would help out my non-existent chest area. Stinking kids. And who doesn’t look good in coral??

  111. I love the Ibiza top. I think it would help enhance my chest, the gathering on the sides would camoflage my tummy area.

  112. Yes, please!

    I’d pair the Cannes Print Swim Top (White, Turquoise, and Green)with the Turqouise Swim Skirt with Bottoms

  114. St. Tropez top + swim skirt

    The top would, hopefully, give me a little illusion of volume up top, and the skirt would cover the host of issues with my bottom portions.

  116. Love the striped Cannes swimtop. I think it would flatter my figure well with the slim bottoms in a single color. Cute stuff!

  117. I love the Ibiza Swim Top in hibiscus with the slimmer swim bottom. So cute and I think it might just flatter too.

  118. I love the Ibiza swim top in hibiscus-perfect for summer!

  119. I love the monaco swim top and matching slimmer swim bottom; I think they would look pretty good on my tall, slender body type.

  120. Cannes top with the shirred bottoms, both in black, would work best for my bod.

  121. I love the St. Tropez in sea glass–might help my small bust problem. 🙂

  123. What a choice! I can’t pick just one, they are all super stylish! I guess the Monaco top with the matching slimmer swim bottom would be perfect!

  124. I think the Cannes swim top would work best with my upper half and the Swim Skirt would cover my pear-shaped bottom. 😉

  125. Lets start with the Ibiza swim top with the “empire seam below bust for extra support” after feeding babies I think that would help and I love the built in shelf bra, that is just what the “girls” need a little shelf to prop up on and look pretty! I would pair it with a Swim Skirt and bottom to help out the hip and thigh area. Oh yes indeed pool ready I would be.

  126. I think the Cannes or ibiza would look best on me

  127. I think the Monaco in coral is adorable with a slightly vintage look. Yum!

  128. I would love the ibiza swim top in fuchsia, and the swim skirt in either black or fuchsia.

  129. I’m loving the Riviera swimtop! the thick straps are great for my big bust and the ruffles are a great distraction from my not so slim thighs. The tankini is great cause it covers my, eh em, baby marks :-D.

  130. i think the cannes swimsuit would do me well–help camouflage my problem areas 🙂

  131. I’ve never heard of Shade, but I love their more modest bathing suits. I really like the Ibiza Swim Top in black.

  132. Striped Cannes Swim Top please!

  133. Oooh I would love the Cannes swim top with the skirt to show off how all my hard work at the gym is starting to pay off!

  134. St, Tropez, Riveria, or Monaco would be good proably in the pattern colors because it would help take the attention off my legs

  135. Oooo ok… let’s see… I love the Nice and Cannes swimtops! I never know which ones to exactly go for… I am excited to see who wins! YAY! PICK ME PICK ME!

  136. I love the Ibiza top! Adorable! It would definately hide my tummy from my pregnancy! I hope I win!

  137. St Tropez si vous plait!

    We are spending a week at the beach and with my babies and a gazillion other people we know…all of whom have never seen this in a swimsuit! I need all the swimsuit confidence I can get!

  138. Cannes Print Swim Top.
    Enough Said.
    {I love you’re blog}

  139. I love the Cannes top. All those stripeys will distract from my stomach!

  140. I’ll be back in Cannes this summer. Shouldn’t I be wearing the Striped Cannes swimsuit??

  141. Oh, I love the monaco swim top! The coral color is super cute!

  142. I’m in love with the Riviera Swim top…it has ruffles, how could I not?!!

  143. I think the St Tropez in Coral would look best with my skin tone. I love it and LOVE this giveaway!!!!

  144. I love the St. Tropez Print swim top! It is so cute, wouldn’t it be great to wear that beauty to the beach 🙂

  145. Oh I kind of love the St. Tropez top with the slimmer bottom in turquoise…I feel like it would flatter my pear-shaped frame.

  146. I heart the Riviera!!!

    I have a body that is a cross between athletic & hourglass, and I have a high waist. I’m also muscular.

    I like how this top would show off one of my best features — my collar bones, and the top of my chest. It also has feminine detailing, that would counter-act my squareness/muscular/athletic-looking self (boxy, as my sis says.)

    <3

  147. I would get the plaid monaco swim top, and the swim skirt, because I am begger busted, and I think it would have ample coverage, yet be flattering.

  148. I love the look of the St. Tropez top, but wondering if the Cannes top might work better for this nursing mom of 4!? Good thing they have experts you can discuss it with! 🙂

  149. Oh the Monaco swimtop is JUST what I need. The added strap will give help when I’m in public, but I could slip it off in private for tan line help! I love this company!

  151. I think the Ibiza top would work best for my body shape, and the slimmer bottoms:)

  152. I really like the riviera top with the skirted bottom…so cute! 🙂

  153. I love the ibiza print swim tope in the floral print and the swim skirt. Thanks!

  154. love the monaco suit. it is the perfect nod to the 60’s.

  155. I like the San Tropez top and slimmer bottom

  156. I’ve never entered a give away before, but here goes… So many cute suits for such an indecisive person, but I think I love the striped Cannes swim top. Super cute with a vintage feel.

  157. I like the ibiza top it would help hide my tummy and the shirred swim bottom. Both in black

  158. love the Cannes, in either color!

  159. Pretty sure the nice top would be the most flattering. Love all their tops though!

  160. How fun! I think the Ibiza Swim Top would be the must flattering on me!

    Thank you ao much for the chance!

  161. I’d love to try the Ibiza top in the groovy black and white pattern paired with the slimmer bottoms for my not so slim tummy!

  162. I think the St. Tropez or the Riviera would flatter me best! Love them!

  163. Great giveaway! I love the St. Tropez Print Swim Top in the floral pattern.

  164. I love the St. Tropez tops! I also shared this on Twitter… what a great giveaway!

  165. love Love LOVE the Monaco swim top!

  166. I am seriously lacking a swimsuit that fits for this summer! I’ve actually been eying the St. Tropez Print Swim Top in Palm Frawns with a fuchisa or nautical Slimmer Bottom for a couple weeks. Winning it would be RAD!

  167. Riviera top/slimmer bottom

  168. I like the Ibiza Print Swim Top in the hibiscus print with a matching swim skirt– to hide my problem areas 🙂

  169. Cannes or Monaco fo sho….thanks for the chance to win!:)

  170. I love the Monaco and would pair it with a skirt.

  171. The striped Cannes with skirt – that would be the best on my body, i am sure of it! With my rectangular shape the stripes would keep eyes mocving, giving the illusion of more curves… right?
    Thanks for the chance, i am in desperate need of a new suit!!!

  172. I think the St. Tropez palm fronds print top would flatter my figure – alluding to more bust than I have. The bold colors are great for my fair, fair skin. I like the busy print that won’t look like the suit is clung to my bellybutton.

  173. I do like the turquoise monaco top, but I love the Ibiza swim top for the flattering shirring on the sides. Very classy.

  174. I’d take the swimskirt with the bottom.

    Great giveaway!

    I’m tweeting it too.

  175. It’s funny that your post was about this. I almost ordered the St. Tropaz swim suit in Turquoise this morning. When I realized that I missed the %20 off sale, I decided to wait a little longer. I am a linear figure according to your calculation hints. (thanks for writing about that, it has made shopping for my body type easier.) I hope that is a good suit for my body type. Mail order can be tricky.
    I spend a lot of time in a bathing suit living in FL. Finding cute, modest suits can be hard. I am so glad companies like Shade have made it easier.
    BTW, Coco is absolutely adorable in her suit!

  177. The Nice swim top would be flattering for my shape, especially if paired with the swim skirt/bottom. Definitely cute stuff!

  178. I love the aqua Cannes top as I think halters are excellent for a fuller bust. Thank you for such a lovely giveaway!

  179. I love the riviera swim top! So cute!

  180. I love their bathingsuits! I think my fav is the Ibiza Swim Top and the Shirred Swim Bottoms. So cute!

  182. I think I would look ok in any of the halter top options of shade clothing.
