Skirt Bottoms have arrived!

Cute and sporty, these bottoms are a great option at the beach, the pool and on the go - and now they come in an array of colours! Leopard, Merlot, Kelly Green and classic Black are live on the site and in store ⛱️

Our skirt bottom is fully restocked! Design and sewn in Vancouver, Canada, in new prints and colours in sizes XS to 4X, with some slight upgrades like added elastic in the seam where the waist band meets the skirt so you don’t feel the need to constantly pull up your skirt when wet. This bottom works overtime giving you a flowy overlay, soft fold waist band that won’t dig in, over top of a fully lined, full coverage swim bottom underneath. Just high waisted enough to sit in the natural waist and float over an apron belly or fuller hips and to pair beautifully with any tops you already own and love. It also works great a transition piece from beach to patio drinks.

Bad news is Julia took the last pair of 1X gingham. Good news is they’re being restocked in one week in the same gingham she took and two new colour ways!!! You can sign up on the Besa Pant product page to be first in line to be notified when they’re restocked.

Slow fashion, can be acquired slowly overtime and if pieces are chosen wisely they can last many years even with regular wear and washing an as style trends change. This is the difference paying more for fewer quality pieces can make for your enjoyment of getting dressed everyday, your wallet, the planet and your health. Great resale value as well for when you do change your mind, which is why we started our consignment rack.

Okay so not many people told me to my face they thought I was too fat for a career in fashion, but they certainly made me feel that way, but it was just more fuel for the fire to clothe a demographic WILDY under serviced by the fashion industry. Our best selling sizes are medium to 2X and this year marks our 12th year selling swimwear in sizes XS to 4X and 7 years producing our own ready to wear apparel line in the same range. Providing clothing that is patterned to fit the marginalized and the in between is not a fad to us that can be taken away my shifts in culture or ozempic. We will always be here for you if you cry leaving the average mall or you want to shop in person for once in your life after being forced for years to pay fat tax shopping online. So maybe next time you don’t see yourself represented in an industry it’s just a missed opportunity ☺️
