One Word: Ruching


Meriam Webster's definition: a pleated, fluted, or gathered strip of fabric used for trimming.

House of Marlowe definition:  a little detail that when added to a bathing suit creates magic on any figure..... making one feel confident (which my guy insists is the key to sexiness) and beautiful........ and ready to dive in (or chase around a pack of kids!) :)




Here's hoping you get some fun in the sun this weekend!

  1. tried the blue paisley from JCrew...as well as a truck full from Zappos. And settled on my first skirted suit from Spanx. I'm officially "uncool Mom"

    1. ugh! I agree.... shopping for blue jeans and bathing suits can be a real downer. Somehow I have a feeling that you look chic in whatever you wear!

  2. Crissy...I think you just solved my biggest dilemma. I am grizzling over swimsuit season and I think the ruching could do the trick. Thank you!

  3. Ha! I was expecting a drapery post, much more fun choosing drapes than swimsuits in my book! :)

  4. I love the grey one shoulder suit, I actually love the strapless ones too but knowing my kids they'd tug my whole bathing suit down at some point.
