Bathing Suits: Giveaway
April 15, 2009 ·
This month’s giveaway, with a value of up to $75, and an additional special offer, are featured at the end of this article. Keep reading for details.
Yesterday we discussed the importance of modest swimwear, so today we’re going to get straight to the fun stuff––shopping!
We all know that bathing suit shopping can be stressful––it’s so difficult to find suits that are cute, modest, and affordable. Mall shopping can be discouraging, because those oh-so-cute bikinis are everywhere, tempting us to give into our fleshly desire to fit in, even when we want to do what’s right (Matthew 26:41). So, last year, I decided to avoid the mall completely and try my hand at online shopping! The task of finding a good web-store was very difficult, but I finally found a store and made my selection. The service and bathing suit were both so great that I want to share this store with you so you can possibly enjoy the experience too!
The chore
We all know how difficult it is to find a cute bathing suit that fits well and is affordable. Add modesty to the mix (which I hope we’ll all commit to do), and we’ve just given ourselves a seemingly impossible and very frustrating task! And who wants to order online, right? Buy a bathing suit you haven’t even tried on? Yeah, right! But that’s where, last summer, I proved myself wrong.
The store
Lime Ricki is full of cute, modest bathing suits at a reasonable price. They’re slightly pricier than the $20-per-piece bikinis I’ve seen in the mall, but I guess that’s because you’re paying for the extra fabric on them! The store was started when three sisters got together, frustrated about the lack of swimsuit choices available for themselves and their daughters, and decided to design their own suits. This year marks their third summer in business together, and this is one business that’s continually growing and improving. You can read more of their story on their About page.
Our experience
I liked what I saw online, but I had a few questions about their suits, so I decided to contact the owners, hoping they would help me. Unsure of who to call, I dialed all three listed phone numbers. I received the voice mail at each number, so I left messages. Two of the women called back within the hour, and the third called back that evening. They were all genuinely nice and very helpful. One girl spent almost thirty minutes talking to me, and she helped me to choose a fabric that would suit my age as well as my taste. I chose the Emily Halter Top with their Brown Cinch Skirt, and, as promised, it arrived within the week.
Lime Ricki claims their suits don’t need tugged or pulled on to stay in place, and I’ll admit it, I was skeptical. What bathing suit doesn’t need adjusted often? Apparently, the Lime Ricki suits––even with a three-year-old to chase and carry around, plus other swimming equipment to deal with, I rarely had to adjust my suit.
I like my suit so much that when my cousin Lisa (also the assistant editor) e-mailed me in despair over trying to choose a cute, modest bathing suit for herself, I e-mailed her back with a note that said, “Buy a Lime Ricki suit!” I sent her a link to my favorite suit, the Signature Tankini Top (which was out of stock when I’d ordered), and she hesitantly purchased that top with the brown bottoms without ever trying them on. About a week later, I received another e-mail from her, raving about her new suit! She loved the fact that she could go out and look stylish––and modest––without tugging on her swimwear every five minutes.
Your (possible) experience
Lime Ricki suits are made to last, so there’s no need to buy multiple suits for one summer. If you want more variety, you could purchase one bottom with two tops to save money. To save even more, shop their sale page, which offers pieces for as low as $12.50 each. Many of the suits on Lime Ricki recommend a bottom to go with them, and some of them tell which body type would be flattered in that suit, which is very helpful for online shopping!
Their size chart doesn’t measure by inches, but it is very true to size. I ordered the size the website recommended, and my suit fit me perfectly. The only exception is their brand-new, upscale Key Lime collection (I love the Lauren top with the blue bottom!), which runs a size small, so be sure to order one size larger than normal if you choose to purchase a Key Lime suit.
Be careful to avoid suits that accentuate the bust, and wear shorts or a skirt over regular bathing suit bottoms (which don’t cover more than underwear!) the entire time you’re not in the water.
Giveaway
Lime Ricki is giving away a bathing suit to one of our readers! The winner will be allowed to choose any one top and bottom (excluding the Key Lime collection) or a one-piece. To enter, leave a comment below by Tuesday, April 28, 2009, stating at least one topic you’d like to see covered in this magazine or you could simply let us know which suit is your favorite. You may enter to win the bathing suit for yourself, or to give away as a gift for someone else.
Comments are moderated, so they may take a day or so to appear. Make sure to include a valid e-mail address in your information (this will not appear in the post). The winner, who will be announced on April 30, will be e-mailed with simple instructions on how to claim her new bathing suit. The winner must contact us back within seven days of our initial contact, or the free bathing suit will go to someone else.

I have to pick only one I like the best?! No way. I’ll make a list. I love the Avery and Maizy in the regular store. And sale-wise I love the Savannah Halter and the Gingham Cinch Skirt (not to be worn together of course). Thanks for introducing me to this great store!
I would like to see an article on Anxiety. I myself have struggled with anxiety and depression, I don’t think people realize how common it is and that it is not a sin to experience these things.
****Davonne here****
We have an article on depression here: http://www.piercemyheart.com/2008/10/11/depression/
Another depression article will appear in our Tough Stuff column in May: http://www.piercemyheart.com/category/personal-growth/tough-stuff/
We have not written any articles about anxiety, but that is an important topic, and I will pass the thought on to our Tough Stuff writer.
I love the Maizy Tankini Top!!
I really like the Lizzie Tankini suite, although the Mia Sporty suite in the clearance section is a close second. Thanks for the great giveaway (modest, cute suites are so hard to find).
Those look so cute! I’ll have to check out the website.
Thank you for entering me in your giveaway. I really like the Elle Tankini Top and the Short Flared Skirt in Black. It’s so nice to see modest swimwear. Thank you!
I absolutely love the Gabby Tankini suit and the Lizzie Tankini suit.
I also have a hard problem with going to the mall and only finding the little bikini’s that are to showy in places that shouldn’t be shown. I personally had to get one las tyear at a last notice trip with my mom and I felt so uncomfortable the whole time.
Wow, I totally got sucked in! Where was this site when I lived in Puerto Rico and went to the beach all the time? It’s SO hard to find modest swimwear that is still stylish!
I love the Lauren tankini with the brown bottoms. Too pretty!
I am so glad that I clicked on your site. I have the hardest time finding a bathing suit that is modest and look good. I am so excited to be in the drawing.. not sure which is my favorite.. they all look great! thanks again. Pam
I can’t pick just one! Thank you for entering me in your giveaway!
I really like the Lauren Tankini top and the matching bottom. Cute!
I’d love a chance to win a swim suit.
Thanks
I like the Gabby tankini top – its cute and fun and its nice to know that by buying it some money will go to charity. Its refreshing to see CUTE modest swimwear for a change!
What fun, I would LOVE a chance to win of these awesome suits!! I would love to see an article about how to handle stress, especially with kids.
****Davonne here****
We’ve received several requests for parenting topics, and we are currently contemplating a theme for 2010 about motherhood. I sent your topic suggestion about handling stress to our Tough Stuff writer. In the meantime, you may enjoy our two-part article about our attitudes and time management: http://www.piercemyheart.com/2009/01/12/monday-%E2%80%93-marvelous-or-mundane/
http://www.piercemyheart.com/2009/01/20/tuesday-%E2%80%93-terrific-or-terrible/
How wonderful to see modest swimsuits that aren’t ugly! The prints and colors are great! I love the Emily and several others….
I love the Elle Top and the Black Cinch Skirt with Built-in Bottom! That one is my favorite from the Key Lime collection. If I win I’ll have to pick a new favorite from the other collection
I love the Ava one-piecce. I’ve never heard of Lime Ricki but am super excited. I’ve got plane tickets to Hawaii in September and need to find an adorable suite for my post baby body.
I love the modest cut of these suits! Cute colors also!
I love the Ginger takinini top! I really should get a new bathing suit this year, but I do dread trying them on!
What beautiful suits. I would love one for my teenage daughter.
I was just telling my sister that I’d spend good money for a swimsuit that wasn’t a piece of junk. So happy to read this topic on your site. THANK YOU! The Maizy is my absolute fav.
Thanks for introducing this brand! I’ve been looking for a new suit and will be back to Lime Ricki. I like the Lizzie top. It’s been 8 years and 3 additional children since my last swimsuit purchase. Definitely time for a change!
I love the Lizzie and the Claire tankini tops, so cute!
I really like the Emma One Piece!
The suits are really cute. Thanks for the review and opportunity to win one. I think the Zoey Tankini Top is my favorite at the moment!
I love this style! I like the lauren top and a matching bottom.
Thanks!
Tiffany
I’m so glad to hear about a company that sells modest swimwear. Being in my mid-twenties, I have had a hard time finding a swimsuit that is age appropriate and modest. Thanks so much for introducing me to such a great company!!
I love the Ruby Tankini.
I love the lizzie. Thanks for pointing me toward this site. Whether I win or not, it is great to know there are modest suits out there that don’t look like my granny’s suit.
I love the Kenzie Tankini Top with the yellow bottoms, of course. All of the fabric is so cute! Thanks!
Really cute! Thanks for making a modest swimsuit!
****Davonne here****
We’re actually not the ones who make the suits. Lime Ricki does that – we just write about them!
I really like the Claire and Kenzi but they are all so cute!!
Not real proud of my upper thighs, so I LOVE the skirts!!! Thanks for the great post.
I checked out their website and these suits are really beautiful and appropriate as well. Thank you!
oh wow these are absolutely adorable! what a great idea, i have SUCH a hard time finding modest cute bathing suits. i LOVE the kenzi and lizzie styles! thanks for the opportunity!
I like the signature tankini top!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I like the Audrey Tankini top and the ruffle skirt black bottom.
I am so thankful that you have taken on the task of designing cool, hip bathingsuits! I don’t have to look like I’m wearing my grandmother’s bathing suit in order to be modest. Thanks!! Way to go.
Cathy
****Davonne here****
Thanks for the compliment, but we don’t make the suits. Lime Ricki does the work – we just write about it!
I would love to see an article on when and how to start discipline. My son is 8 months old and has begun to learn how to whine and throw fits, and I haven’t a clue how to do gospel-centered discipline when he doesn’t grasp what I’m saying!
****Davonne here****
We’ve received several article suggestions regarding motherhood, and are currently contemplating a 2010 theme about parenting. In the meantime, I highly recommend the book “Shepherding A Child’s Heart” by Tedd Tripp. This book can be purchased, used, from Amazon for $5.00, and is well worth every penny! I’d tell you about it, but you can read the product description for yourself here: http://www.amazon.com/Shepherding-Childs-Heart-Tedd-Tripp/dp/0966378601/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239898732&sr=8-1
It’s hard to choose one! I usually lean toward a tankini vs. one-piece, but I really like the Sophia one-piece! Oh, and I love the Meg tankini!
I “think” I like the Lizzie Tankini top the best. Such awesome and cute swimsuits! I’m so glad i found this blog! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I like the Ava one piece, they are all pretty cute though.
These are way too cute. I think I finally decided the Gracie Tankini Top was my favorite. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I like the Jane Halter Top and Gingham Cinch Skirt. What cute swimwear!
modest suits are hard to find, these are great!
I actually like the Ginger Tankini that you show in your post best. Modest in both color and shape. Perfect for a mom chasing after her kids at the community pool! The prices of these are actually quite good. I’m bookmarking for my next swimsuit purchase. Thanks!
****Davonne here****
You’re welcome! And if you use the coupon code HEART10 by May 15, 2009, you’ll receive a 10% discount on your entire order!
WOW! A cute and modest swimsuit! Amazing! These are beautiful! I love the Claire Tankini top. Sooo cute.
I love the Signature Tankini Top with the short flared brown skirt! Awesome giveaway! Thanks!
I like the Lizzie tankini top. Thanks!
Denise
These are all so cute!! I love the bright colors of the Carly Tankini Top.
I like the Emily Halter Top and the Brown Boy Shorts!
I like the Audrey tankini. The suits look great. What a great idea to have a line of modest swimsuits.
Wow..what a cool site!
Found my way over from Money Saving Mom…
I loved the Elle tankini with the black cinch skirt…soooo cute and fun!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the Lizzie, so cute!
Thanks for offering it!
I love the Addie tankini. WOW, what cute suits!
I like the shortini’s. I like the athletic look with the additional coverage that the shorts provide and I don’t feel self-conscious outside of the water
I think the Lizzie tankini is adorable. I’m so glad to know about this website, it is so hard to find a modest bathing suit these days that doesn’t look like our grandmothers should be wearing them.
Wow! I honestly just linked to your site for the first time today from the “Money Saving Mom” bolg. I will definitely be back! Thank you for providing us with such a great service.
As for the suits, my favorite suits have always been those which cover me fully. Regarding the Lime Ricki suits, that appears to be all of them!
I haven’t worn a bathing suit in years, but these are adorable and may just change my mind. I like the modesty of the signature suit. The color is great too!!!
I couldn’t chose just one favorite suit! I love them all! Let’s just put it this way, here is ONE of my favorites (as of now hehe): Elle Tankini Top and Black Cinch Skirt with Built-in Bottom!
I love these suits but I’m afraid they may go along with every other suit won’t fit me! I haven’t been able to find a bathing suit that fits me and is modest for 10 years! I would be interested to see if these work differently!
****Davonne here****
That’s what I love about tankini’s! The top and bottom can be purchased in a separate size. You can also view their return policy here: http://static2.shopify.com/s/files/1/0002/1108/files/exchange-return.pdf
And if you’d like to try the suits on in person, you can go here to see if there’s a store near you: http://www.limericki.com/pages/retail-locations
I love these suits, I will have to look at their site to pick my favorite.
I LOVE the Keylime with the light blue bottoms! Thanks for entering me in the contest…
I love them all. If I had to choose – I love the green Signature Tankini with the polka dots and the brown cinch skirt.
And I love that it says “Your cart is empty – how sad for you” that made me laugh out loud!!!!!!
I couldn’t bring up the link (under maintenance – will have to check in later) butI love that there are mentions of skirts and I love that they are promised to stay in place! It is a nightmare shopping for a swimsuit these days and I’m so glad you brought up the issue of modesty. I just started browsing your site so you might have already done on article on this that I haven’t read yet but if not then I would love to read one about good ‘clean’ literature and possibly some recommendations!
****Davonne here****
The site is working for me! It probably just got overloaded with visitors
Kenzi + black boy shorts = amazing!
Thank you so much for this great post and giveaway. A swimsuit is too much of a luxury for me to buy for myself right now, but I will absolutely keep that place bookmarked. Love the concept!
Thanks again for the great post.
XOXO
****Davonne here****
If you browse the three-page clearance section: http://www.limericki.com/collections/clearance and use the coupon code HEART10 by May 15, you can score a great suit for a really low price!
I like the one piece, even though I probably wouldn’t wear it. I prefer a tankini.
I just had my first child a few months ago, and boy, could I use a new swimsuit! I love the style and appreciate the modesty. It’s hard to pick but, I love the Lauren tankini.
Cute suits! I like the Claire Tankini Top
I just browsed their website and LOVE all of the suits! I can’t pick just one favorite. And, I am in desperate need of a new swimsuit after just having a baby! Thanks for the offer!
White polka dot and brown “Addy Sporty Tankini” is cute and on clearance! The suits are great! Thanks for the opportunity!
Love the Lauren Tankini with Brown Bottoms! Soooo cute!
I love the ruby tankini! I think most all of their suits are adorable!
These are so great! I hope I win.
I’d love to see articles about raising our children into people who will have a positive impact on the world around them.
****Davonne here****
Thanks for your suggestion! Several people have requested various articles about motherhood, and there may be a whole theme on parenting one month in 2010, so please check back! In the meantime, I’ll recommend books by Vicki Courtney – I’ve read Your Girl as well as a few others and love them all! http://www.vickicourtney.com/books_resources.htm
I love all of them! Thank you for directing me towards this site… I have two toddlers and the oh so cute small bikinis just don’t cut it when you’re chasing down the beach after little people. My personal favorite is the Avery tankini top. How cute are the ruffles!
****Davonne here****
Agreed! But, I don’t think bikinis cut it any other time either! Go here to see why: http://www.piercemyheart.com/2009/04/14/bathing-suits-modesty-matters/
The suits are Cute!! I love the lizzie!!
I love the Emily Halter Top with the Brown Cinch Skirt with built in bottoms. That looks adorable-too bad they don’t have it in my size!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway! I soooo need a new suit. I’ll have to check the website out. Thanks!
I really like the Lizzie Tankini Top!
I like the Lizzie top with the yellow bottoms…cute!
My favorite suit would have to be the Emily Halter Top and the Brown Flared Skirt. These are so cute and do not look like typical ‘Mom’ bathing suits or so skimpy that everyone would look terrible in them. I would love to see an article on how to cover the not-so-flattering areas in a bathing suit but still be stylin’.
Love the Emily Halter Top and some sort of standard bottom! Count me in!
I like the Greta top with a boy short bottom. I hate those high, high cut bottoms. I mean, really.
Defiantly hard to pick just one that would be my favorite! I love how they are all sylish and trendy but yet modest! MY fav is the Maizy tankinin top with black boy shorts!!
What great suits! I love the Gabby tankini. Definitely something I will remember as my daughter gets older!
I have never been on this site before, but it is now one of the ones I will check. Thank you for finding things like this and sharing it with us!
I LOVE the ava suit!!!
I can’t choose a favorite, they are all absolutely adorable. I’m so excited to see such cute swimsuits!
Kenzi Tankini Top~ Love It!
Short Flared Skirt So cute!

I love the Paige V-Strap Tankini or the Zoey Tankini – they are all just adorable though! What a great giveaway! Thanks!
I loved the Elle tankini. It is so nice to see suits that are cute and modest at the same time!
love the zebra print suit!!!!
Love the lizzie suit. Anything with a pop of yellow is fab in my book!
I love the Claire suit. That would be my choice.
Oh,how about the Emily halter top with brown bottoms and the long brown ruffle skirt!
Love the Avery Tankini!!
I really like the lizzie tankini. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
I would love a tankini to cover my tummy!
I love the Claire tankini top. Thank you so much for letting us know how we can be modern and modest.
I love those suits! It’s so hard to find modest suits!! I lost 30 pounds last year, so I’m definitely in need of a new suit this summer. I LOVE the Ginger Tankini Ginger Top!!
The Claire Tankini Top is too cute!! Thanks!
I love the Maizy and Sophia suits, but they are all adorable! Thanks so much for pointing me to this site, as I have been having a hard time finding a swimsuit for my daughter to wear on her 8th grade trip with her Christian school (and boys will be there! but parents are not allowed! AAGH!). I will be showing her these suits as soon as she gets home from school today! Would love to win one for me too.
Thank you!
I love the Claire and the Avery – anything with ruffles! just adorable!!
I love the Ava One-Piece
I like the Ruby tankini with the cinch skirt bottoms. Great giveaway!
Oh, my goodness! They are all so cute! I love the Avery
I love the modesty! Two piece to fit all body types is great too. Thanks for helping with a problem we all struggle with.
I really like all of them. I cant make up my mind. Thanks for the chance to win.
They alla re adorable but I really like the Kenzi and the Elle is a close second!!
I LOVE the Kenzi tankini. Yeah for modest swimsuits!!!
I like the Claire and the Lizzie.
I love the Jane haltertop in the clearance section! Thanks!
I love the Claire and the Ruby, what beautiful colors! I have just discovered this website and am super excited to learn more. Perhaps you can run an article on the current economy and how we need to know we should “fear not”. Thanks for the great info!
****Davonne Here****
We currently have two articles that touch on the subject here:

and here:
http://www.piercemyheart.com/2009/01/15/voting-and-elections-how-they-affect-you/
I will send your suggestion to our In the World writer! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love that all the suits are modest! My favorite is the Savannah Halter Tankini
Thanks!
WOW! I stumbled onto this by accident but I’m sure glad!! Last year I had a horrible time trying to find a modest affordable swimsuit and also turned online to avoid theoverwheliming number of bikinis. But the cost I paid for shipping and after several returns for wrong products and wrong sizes was frustrating. I have not been looking forward to swimsuit shopping until I looked at the Lime Ricki site. I love the LimeRicki suits. They are so stylish and modest! I haven’t ordered one but likely will soon and I’m going to recommend them to my friends!!!! Thanks!!
All of the bathing suits are so cute! I really like the Maizy and Lizzie tankini tops. Thanks for the giveaway!
OH MY! Thank you so much for sharing this site. I am a new mother and want to look cute, but modest this summer. I LOVE the Maizy and Avery styles. Thanks for the chance to win! ~Jen
I love the Lauren Tankini – I know it’s not included in the giveaway, but I LOVE it!!!
I like the Crystal one-piece but the brown skirt bottom sure is cute, too! Really nice suits — so happy to see that modest swimwear is available.
I like the Gabbi Tankini top with the white bottoms!
I love the suit you show about, black and white zebra-esque! SOOO Cute and to be able to chase around my two kiddos without constant adjusting… what a God-send!!
The Ava one-piece is adorable! Oh and so is the Meg sporty top in the clearance section… who doesn’t love a great sale!?
I love the Elle Tankini! These suits are great!
Oh, I really like that Amelia tank top or the Lulu tank top.
They are all really cute and unique.
I love the Claire Takini!! So, cute and hip and modest!
Oh wow!! I love the Lauren tankini with the brown bottoms. Too cute!
I really like the Lauren tankini. It’s nice to see modest swimsuits that are actually stylish.
Hard to choose, but I’d go with the Amelia Tankini and I’d have ot look more at the skirts to see which I would like best with that. Love the skirt options though! Thanks for introducing me to this great company!
I really like the Lizzie top with the yellow bottoms. So bright and cheery!
Wow! Thank you so much for this website — the styles are beautiful! I’d love to try either the Rubi and Zoey tankini tops with a boy-shorts. Thank you for this great giveaway!
The Lauren takini top is my favorite.
I love the Claire Tankini!!!
I love the Claire Tankini!
Oh! What a great article and site – finding modest and cute swimwear in B&M stores is so difficult. All the suits are so cute but I think I like the Signature 2 tankini top the best.
I really like the Zoey Tankini top and the skirts. Great giveaway!
I Love Love Love the Lizzie Tankini top with the Yellow bottoms. So cute!
I love the zebra print. It is adorable,and would definitely hide my problem area. It would make my summer swimming so much more enjoyable to be seen in such a flattering suit. Thanks!
Please help…. I am going on a cruise and in desperate need of the Lizzie Tankini Top with the yellow bottoms. I can be a walking bill board! Thanks for this great give away! I hope I win!!!
I love these suits. The Izzie is so cute, but then again they are all pretty nice.
I love them all! Too hard to choose! I guess the tankinis are probably my favorite though.
I love the Black Cinch Skirt with Built-in Bottom because I am so worried about the way I look after having a baby.
How wonderful to see stylish and modest swim suits! I love these!!! The Zoey Tankini Top is my favorite.
Wow, how refreshing! Someone out there who actually advocates modest (but adorable) swimwear! Thank you, PierceMyHeart!
I love the Elle Tankini (now unfortunately unavailable), but the Claire Tankini is a close second.
My fave suit is the Ava one piece!
I like the Audrey – very classy! I would love to win one of these, and then of course I’d need to buy one for my niece, and maybe my sister…
How about an article on the best way to hide the baby bump when your youngest is now four years old.
****Davonne here****
Baby doll tops! They flair out right below the bust to nicely hide a tummy. Kohl’s usually has great sales.
WOW! These are agreat find! I love the Savannah and the Emily!
I like the Emily Halter top and the Paige V-Strap Tankini top, both in the clearance section, with the brown bottoms.
Please oh please let me win the white and black one!
very cute, i liked the Savannah Halter Tankini
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the swimming suits on this site! I have often had to buy a maternity suit b/c they are the only modest suits out there right now! These suits definitely need to be in stores to give teens/young women more choices.
I love the new collection, but I really like the signature tankini top.
I like the Lizzie tankini
i like the Lizzie Tankini Top best. cute!
these are the cutest! it’s so hard to pick just one!!!
i would like to see (and would read) an article about when too much extra-curricular activity for the kids is just too much. what are the pros to it and the cons. it’s a tough decision because on one hand you want your kids involved in activities and have them learn things, yet on the other hand it’s sooo stressful taxing everyone around…is it really worth it?!
****Davonne Here****
We do not currently have any articles on that topic, but we’re contemplating a theme in 2010 about motherhood, so it may appear then. Great suggestion! I personally believe that if extracurricular activities become more work than fun, then they’ve reached the point where they’re not worth it. Children grow so fast, and I’ve never heard a parent of grown children say they wish they would have put their kids in more sports, but I have heard many parents say they wish they would have taken the time to just enjoy their children more when they were still living at home.
I love these swimsuits. I especially love the Lauren Tankini Top. It is super cute.
I like the Lauren the best. It’s beautiful. I’m a new reader to this blog but will certainly follow it now. Can’t wait to send it to all my girlfriends who are always complaining about not finding modest swimwear anywhere.
These are all great. Hmm… my favorite would have to be the Lauren Tankini.
how to pick just one?? I actually love the ones you pictured in your blog- the black and white one at the bottom is probably my favorite. I have 4 sisters and we know how hard it is to find modest bathing suits. Thanks for the post- and the website!
I like the Claire Tankini top, it’s really cute!
I loved your piece on prom dresses. How about modest wedding dress? Not everyone wants a plunging neckline on their wedding nor does anyone have the figure for a sleeveless dress. And sleeveless dresses just are right for fall or winter weddings.
i like the maizy tankini top and black boyshorts. thanks for the chance to win!
I love the Savannah Halter Tankini, I like the combination of the black/white with the pop of green, what a great website! I have two-year old twin boys that LOVE the pool, with all the chasing a holding and playing I do, I need my swimsuit to stay put!
I am sooooo excited about this giveaway, but even more excited that I have found this website. I have two teen daughters and myself who love cute clothes and swimsuits. How exciting to find a website devoted to modesty and fashion all in one. I love the Elle tankini and the Savannah Halter, also the Lucy V-strap is cute. Can’t decide>.. may have to order, more than one! Thank you, thank you , thank you . . . . cannot wait to see who wins!!
I absolutely adore the Lizzie Tankini suite!! Thanks for a great giveaway
I love the Elle and the Ginger. I might just have to order one of these. I love the flared skirt as well. Thanks for posting.
I like the Brooklyn top and black boy shorts. Thanks so much!
It’s so strange, I am not a fan of one pieces but I fell in LOVE with the Ava One Piece. I never though I’d say I’d love a one piece but I do! It’s gorgeous!
My favorite suit is the Savannah Halter Tankini!!!
Modest swimwear is usually so hard to find. This is great………thanks
I really loved them all! Especially the one that is posted first here, with the green and blue. Gorgeous!
I have had the hardest time finding a swim suit. Thank you for directing me to this site because for some reason it did not come up in my searches. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for pointing out this line of swimming suits. Swim suit shopping is so discouraging to me and these are darling! I am new to your site, but I would appreciate future information about modest clothing. I think it’s great that you do this magazine. The world needs more people standing up for what’s right.
I am so thankful I came across this post. I have been searching everywhere for a cute swimsuit that I would feel comfy in and didn’t show all of me. These are adorable!!!
I love the Lauren suit. It is very innovative and eye catching, along with being modest, which is very important to me since I have 3 sons. Thank!
I am a mom of 4 kids (3 of them girls), a pastor’s wife, and i mentor some teenage girls. The topic of modesty for a Christian women is so important and so neglected! We talk of it often, and when you get to the swimsuit issue it is hard to know where to go to find something cute and appropriate. Our desire should be to glorify God and to honor others and help our Christian men in their struggle with lust. thanks for sharing this website!
need it to camo the lower belly flab – showing off chest (with support) is ok

I encourage you to browse through our articles about modesty – the idea is to not show off the chest, or other parts of our bodies! http://www.piercemyheart.com/tag/modesty/
I like the amelia tankini top and the white slit skirt!
I love the Lauren Tankini Top. I think it’s super cute and modern. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love these suits. All of them are super cute & age appropriate. I am tired of finding only dowdy or smutty suits for women. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love the topic of modesty, especially about shopping with pre-teen girls!
I love these bathing suits!! I can’t even tell you my favorite because I want several of them. I really hope I win one!!
I really like this store! — I’ve tried to make my own suit for the modesty and style for my age but that didn’t work out so well. I love the Elle Top but would have to go for a one-piece, I wish it came connected to the bottoms~
Modest suits and yet I can still feel like an attractive woman! You’ve designed the perfect suit for those of us that care more about pleasing our father and showing an example to our daughters than we do about the styles of the world. Good job! There is no way I can afford one of your suits right now but would so love to have one! Carry on the good work!
Thank you so much for posting about this store! My mom and I have always been on the look out for modest suits, and I’m ecstatic to see suits there that are absolutely adorable, *cool*, and modest! I’m passing this website on to everyone I know! Thanks!
I love your site! Thank you for such great posts! I also love this giveaway! I’ve been looking for a modest swimsuit for my daughter and I but it’s so difficult! There are so many great choices on the Lime Ricki site, I don’t know which one is my favorite!
Visiting from Thrifty Minnesota Mama. The Gabby Tankini is cute. Thanks for the giveaway
I like Elle, Ginger and the Amelia (though the bright blue color probably wouldn’t look great on me….I lvoe the style though!) tops and the skirts.
What a great website! I think the Zoey Tankini top with the green bottoms is my favorite. Thanks for letting us know about this website!
I would love any one of these swim suits. I will be passing this companies name on to many others.
I came across lime ricki last spring and love the suit I bought. There are lots of new choices! They really do “hide” well. It would be great to read more about treating our bodies with respect through modesty. Thanks!
I like the Savannah Halter Tankini. Most suits I try on make me feel like I’m showing too much. Thanks for the recommendation.
I love the Gabby Tankini Top! So modest and feminine! What a great store!
How cute are those! Love the white slit skirt. Thanks for the opportunity!
I am so glad there are people that make modest bathing suits..I do not like going to the beach showing everything. and I hope if people see me in a cute modest bathing suit they will get the idea that they don’t need to show everything either.
My favorite would be the Elle tankini top with the boy-short bottoms.
Oh I love these suits! I especially think the Lizzie tankini is so cute.
Thanks for this give away. I like the Emma suit. New to your site.
I love the Elle Tankini! And I would match it with the ruffled black skirt! Even if I don’t win this suit, I’m definitely buying one!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the Zoey Tankini top with the green bottoms!
LOVE the black and white Elle tankini
I would really appreciate it if there was an article about finding balance between spending time with God, your friends, your boyfriend, and school work or something of the sort. I know its all about prioritizing and time management, but how do you tell when you are spending too much time in one place, and not enough in another? Thanks
p.s. This store is amazing. I have always worn a one piece, and its hard to find something that looks good and is modest. I like the Sophia, Amelia, and Audrey suits the best, but they are all so great!

Thanks for the topic suggestion! I am sending it to one of the other writers, so check back in the upcoming months!
One of these would be great.
These swimsuits are adorable!
I really like the Emily Halter top paired with a brown ruffled skirt.
It’s been years since I’ve shopped for a swimsuit and generally do the shorts and shirt over whatever swimsuit that I have on hand, so having a nice suit that actually fits and is modest would be amazing!
Love this site and these swimsuits!
