I'm not sure your intended mission for this channel, but for me, it's nice to see someone with a similar body shape trying on clothes, it's helped me to figure out what shapes and styles will be flattering on me when I go shopping.
Same. I have the same body type and size. Meredith is more "formal" than I am though. I'd love to see some jeans, tanks, t-shirts, capris, etc.
Thank you! I started this channel because I wanted to see people like me try on things and there weren’t many (I was looking specifically for subscription boxes at the time). I’m so happy that that is why you are sticking around!
I do need to find more casual clothes that still make me feel ‘put together’. I always tend toward formal and fancy if I have an option- interestingly enough, my daughter is the opposite! Comfort is her number one goal and she is able to do it adorably! I need to take notes!
Same for me! Although living in Europe and some 20 years older its nice to see what a certain shape of clothes does for our figure.
By the way you look fabulous in that Antropology floral mint dress! Found the last plain royal blue swimsuit the most flattering. Did not like the purple ruffle thing on you.
Your videos are my absolute favorite out of all my subscriptions! Your content always puts a smile on my face and I feel like I’m just hanging out with a friend. ❤️ Getting to drink my morning coffee to a new Meredith video means today is gonna be a great day! Thank you for being you! 🥰
Could not agree more!
Thank you so much, Ivy!! That is just the nicest thing ever- hugs to you!!
Thank you, Ellen!
As I was getting ready to watch this video I was thinking how I'd love being real life friends w/you. And then you talk about that model you feel like she's a friend 😂. Some people/things/whatever just kind of click. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this about you. You are so Darn likeable Meredith. So really. So down to earth. So open. So honest. So like a friend I'd love having. I have a friend who says the following to me and I'd like to share it w/you...thanks for existing 😊. God bless you, your family and your channel. Always wishing you much success. ❤ 🫂
Your energy is so infectiously warm and bubbly. I really appreciate all your efforts 🤍
I love “wear what makes you feel good”. I’ve been sewing vintage style dresses in fun patterns. Totally not the norm, but I feel so good wearing them out to run errands. Rock the fun!
Rock the fun, indeed! I bet that you bring lots of people joy who see you out and about!!
I love this!!!
I’ve had surgery on both hands recently and am still healing. I miss my sewing machine!!! 😂
I love doing circle skirts with the wide elastic waistband in vintage fabrics.
I thought the first and last ones were the most flattering on you. But truthfully they all worked. Thank you for trying so many styles. It makes me just a little bit braver and willing to try new shapes too.
The first blue jumpsuit style is the best
With my last discount code from you, I bought a ditsy floral swim dress in mint and I love it! So thanks!
Okay, Meredith. This is going to be one of those “what????” moments. You really should go back and look at the marine blue swim romper again. It’s adorable!!! And it had a pocket!! I’m ordering one in purple. 🥰
Probably my favorite one on you, though, was the cherry swim dress. That one was so flattering and so pretty! Definitely a keeper. Loved the video!
My husband said that he surprisingly loved the romper one! I don’t even know if I realized that it had a pocket! I’m going to go back and check it out!
@@BigonStyle I saw the model online with her hand in a pocket. That’s a total sell for me! 🥰
Update… the plum swim romper came in yesterday. I love it!!! So cute! ❤
I loved the first suit on you. The blue mesh was also very flattering.
I loved that first romper swimsuit on you. Very flattering.
That was my favorite too! If you do get in with that one, I’d love to know how it behaves in the water.
You always bring me a smile Meredith and I see so many others feeling the same. You radiate sunshine. I made myself chuckle thinking how much fun it would be to all hang out with you, but of course we would need a banquet hall for everyone to fit. ❤️🤗
The first suit, the dark blue shorts, is the best on you. It gives your body definition. It is also made to actually swim in. The suits with skirt or ruffles float in the water, making it hard to maneuver.
I actually liked the first and the last suits best. I also liked the cover up. As a former Houstonian (70 years), I was disappointed to see Beryl hit that area and i hope that you and your family made it through the storm without too much damage. Love your videos because you has such a positive attitude and wonderful message for others.
That was just horrible !
Thank you so much, Brenda! We faired very well through the storm. We do not have power and it is very hot, but hopefully it will be back on soon- I’m sure that you remember those days!!
We have been staying with my parents, they have a generator and live right around the corner, but the generator is no longer working.
We are just very blessed that we didn’t sustain any major damage and that the storm went quickly with very little flooding!
@@BigonStyle Glad to hear that you made it through the storm without much damage. No electricity in south Texas in the summer is not fun.
@@BigonStylegood time to stay in the pool!!!
So helpful that you go into detail about the clothing. I hate shopping, but your comments make shopping fun.
One thing I wish swimsuit websites would do is have a picture of the model coming out of the pool. Some swimsuits are absolutely adorable dry but look ridiculous wet. I love the suits you picked out. Super cute!
I think the first and last suits looked wonderful on you! That last dress was beautiful. Thank for trying these on for us!
The first romper style suit looks great. Thanks for picking it. I saw it online and was like how is it gonna look on me and now I know.
I saw at Walmart really cute swim wear dusters for over a swimsuit or even over a tee shirt and jeans. They were crocheted lace dusters very Stevie Nicks vibes. 🎉
I wish I had your confidence. :) Thank you for just being you.
Thank you for trying on different styles of bathing suits. I really liked the cherry suit. It gave you a great shape. Your videos always leave me with a smile.
The blue mesh suit was my favorite. Personally, I like two piece suits simply for ease of using the restroom. 😊 Being a similar apple shape, I prefer swim shorts and tops with a blouson effect.
Awaiting my first Bloomchic order and am excited about the many opportunities to find decent, plus sized clothing. Thank You for trying these swimsuits on. Have a blessed day 💖✝
It was nice for me to see the first one you tried on other than a model. I really like how it looks on you, and would now be much more tempted to buy one. It is actually the only one that appeals to me personally. Even though I’m in AZ, I never make it to the pool though. And you’re right, shipping takes a relatively long time with Bloomchic.
Great video. Loved to see swimwear.
I absolutely love the purple ombré-ish layered top. The lilac and plum are beautiful with your skin tone.
I am in love with the cherry print suit. It’s beautiful on you. I like the bow ties in the front.
SHEIN has some great suits as well. I just purchased a black suit with puffed sleeves and a black ruffled swim skirt. They’re fun and reasonably priced.
I so enjoy your videos! You are a delight and so many women can relate to you. You’re the type of friend everyone should have.
My favorites are the last and the first swimsuits.
Thanks for another great video! My favorites were the coverup (so breezy!) and the last swimsuit (black floral). It wasn’t the most shape-enhancing, but it seemed to lengthen the body in a flattering way.
I hope Bloom Chic pays you big time, I bought several items because of your channel.
Prayers that you, family and such are ok through the storm.
The one I like the best on you is the blue one with the sheer skirt. Very attractive.
There's actually a lot of cute clothes in there!
That green and orange dress looks great on you! 😊 👗I'm so glad I'm older and able to ignore unflattering trends and wear what makes me happy.
Posting a video when you've just made it through a hurricane is amazing dedication!! Even though I know you didn't time this video for the hurricane, the fact that your post-hurricane video turned out to be about swimsuits has its own special humor. 😂 I hope you and your loved ones are all safe and managing the heat.
Ha! Thank you!! I had uploaded it to have Bloomchic give the ok so it was easy to schedule- but I will absolutely accept that it was dedication! You should see what the pool looks like today 😬
Oh I love the shark bite one , and on you it really did look good and the cherry one was my second choice. Then the first one you tried on next . Oh well you will get all kinds of different ones I sure so go with your gut and make you happy. And as always till the next one.
I know you’re not a fan of your upper thigh area but I just want you to know I have the same little flap of skin so I know exactly how you feel and I’m so glad to see someone who looks like me. We’re roughly the same size I’m just a few inches shorter. I love being able to see how these would fit on me without having to buy them and try them on
You are a brave woman. I ended up with a suit that’s drapey on top with bike short bottoms and I love it. Have some suits that are rompers and I like them but too much fabric. I liked the first blue one on you. I liked the black floral on you too.
oh my gosh….the “see through swimsuit” $35.80, that you don’t like is my favorite! It us just an elegant little black w floral mesh summer dress. LOVE IT! It is so flattering and does not hug in any of the wrong places.
My second favorite is the tiered graduating purple layered swimsuit. At 5 ft. tall, it may be fine for me, but it would be perfection with a fourth tier for you.
Love your videos!
You get 10/10 for bravery doing this blog. I haven't worn swimwear since I gained weight. Was always afraid those types of swimwear would scream old lady. I liked the last one best. At least with your own pool you can swim away from the crowds. Wendy
Thank you, Wendy! It is a difficult thing to be comfortable wearing! I had lots of people ask me to do swimsuits last year and I thought ‘no way!’ But this year I thought that trying to find suits in my comfort zone may help other people with the same feelings! We occasionally go to our neighborhood pool and I see ladies of all sizes in swim dresses and ladies of all sizes in bikinis- wearing what you are comfortable in is what is important!
Your videos all make a great start to my day! Thank you! I think I agree with your rankings….the first suit reminded me our the uniforms we had to wear for gym class when I was in school! The only difference was the top part had thin stripes! I hated wearing that thing! My days are a little sad right now, so it’s nice to start with a smile! ❤❤❤
Oh jeesh !! Thought we were the only ones wearing those ugly suits for gym class! Green for Southside, blue for Northside of town then blue for a rural based town west of us in city ! They crawled up your backside too , all before dryer sheets plus oh did they pull!! Graduated 45 yrs ago this past June !!
The not the best of times your're handling right now.. will leave, become a part of your past, so you may see a light ahead. May the days ahead become brighter. I wish for you better times to come, yes, there are, sadly hard times that are , just that, hard, Glad the videos are a pick up. I too get lost in Merideth's content .
@@murlepeterson6028 I graduated 45 years ago also! 🤣🤣🤣
Vicki- I’m sending hugs your way. If you ever need anything or a kind ear, feel free to shoot me an email. ❤️
I have had a couple of other people say that the romper reminded them of gym uniforms!! Ours were just red 2-piece sweats, but I hated them, also!!
@@murlepeterson6028ours was the one piece romper, solid red bottom and red and white horizontal stripes on top. We just celebrated our 50th reunion and they just get better as the years go by. Meredith, your smile once again makes my day. You looked so good in the blue one and the 🍒 one. And I love the cover up. Stay safe and stay cool. Love ya!
I thought they all looked good! I was surprised you didn't like the last one, it was cute. I have the same inner-upper leg issue!!
So I tend to wear Unitard suits that they sell for aquafit. Swimsuits for All. Nice long boy-legs that stay down.
Or swim shorts over a one piece suit. You are a contagiously cheerful person and I enjoy your videos!
Love the blue with mesh
The last one was actually really nice.
I use bicycle shorts with swimwear, they are usually a bit longer for my comfort
That is a great idea!
Impeccable timing - I fell asleep last night before I could decide which Bloomchic swimsuits to order, and now I’ve had a chance to see them on you! I liked the cherry suit on you the best, but the blue sheer one suits you too. Hope you get your power back on soon. A couple of years ago after a storm I lost power for 8 days, and am now the proud owner of a portable solar panel and some CPAP battery packs 😅🇨🇦
I love watching you. The way you describe thinks is great. I liked the other swim suit video. I know it's only my opinion but I didn't like any. Two looked great on you but I don't think any would be good for me. When I see you put a video up I can't wait to watch . Thankyou
Thank you so much! I appreciate you letting me know! There were definitely some that I preferred from from the other video as well. I love seeing what other brands have to offer!
Thank you for always taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!
wow It's hard to find a word to say how beautiful you look with her pretty outfits. you put happiness and sunshine in my day ..
Hey, v-sis! I bought that layered top in the teals/black!! I agree, it totally flows and makes you feel like you’re wearing a swimsuit but it’s not fitting like a sausage casing. I love how descriptive you are with all the suits. Your sewing knowledge definitely gives you an added perspective and it’s really helpful. Thanks for another great vid! ❤
Thank you for the swimwear reviews! It really is helpful especially since swimsuits are so hard to pick out
I’ve tried several of bloomchic dresses, shirts, and pants. I absolutely love them! I am thinking of trying a swim suit from them so thank you for your honest reviews. I also am 2 different sizes from on top to my waist.
My favorite was your favorite! I didn't care m7ch for the others. I wear a one piece, very basic, it's what I feel comfortable in.
I love what you have on in the video, the green and red number, it looks so good on you and I would love it for myself xx
Kudos to you for trying on swimsuits for us all. I hate trying on suits so I truly value the share here. I agree with your choices. ❤
Thanks for putting it out there for us more modest gals. Great choices to try. I really liked the first one. While not as figure-flattering, it looked really comfortable and would be absolutely perfect for a waterpark or chasing after kids.
Fun video! My favorite was the cherry suit.
The 1st one looked great on you. The cherrie is cute.
I liked the final swimsuit the best. I thought it was very figure flattering yet practical. Your pool looks so inviting. I always choose skirted swimsuits and I get them from vinted.
The second suit, the patchwork asymmetric in indigo, my first thought was "That's kinda nice." My second thought was "Not great, not amazing, but nice." You're absolutely right that it's a good option, just overshadowed by the other ones in this haul! Similar thoughts on the last one, funny to know our bottom two match!
I'm not sure exactly which part of your inner thighs you're insecure about, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the royal blue, because I was really unsure how the sheer skirt would look before the try-on and worried you might hate it, but was very pleasantly surprised! I'm not sure if it had a smoothing effect, or just felt more intentional since it wasn't so hidden, or maybe just the confidence you wore it with, or some combination, but you totally slayed in that one, to the point it was my favorite on you! My personal favorite was the first one, but I'm definitely in the "don't really want to swim, but want the option" club, so looking more beach-side than beach is more my go-to. I felt between that and the royal blue, you've found some real winners, and the purple and cherry were fun too! While the other two (second and last) didn't work out as well for you, they were still lovely options I'm glad you showed us, perhaps they'll work out better for some of us viewers ^^
Hi Meredith! 🙋🏻♀️❤️✨
Thanks for the 2nd swimsuit haul. It can be so difficult to find suits that fit well and that I feel pretty in.
I am either a triangle or mini fridge in shape - 50 bust, 51 waist & 53 hips. I'm also a 5'4" hobbit. I don't like how my upper thighs look either.
I favor the tankinis with babydoll or flowy tops and bike short or shorts with mesh skirt bottoms.
Wet one pieces are too much work in the bathroom. 😂
I really liked the royal blue suit on you & the model. 🤩 And I love the pretty coverup too.
Thank you for Sharing!!! 😊 Love, Hugs, Blessings & Sparkles! ❤️🫂🙏🏻💖✨
I order often from Bloomchic. I would say tops run large and bottoms seem true to size. They ship from overseas and that accounts for longer shipping time. Prices are great and quality is fine. Do follow care instructions.
Just started watching, but had to pause to tell you that I love, LOVE the Anthropologie dress you are wearing! Beautiful on you, gorgeous colors! Love that lats suit...if you added a tie belt in a bold color, it might just do it for you! The first one, too, was flattering!
Thank you so much!!
The blue/shorts would be great on a cruise as you could walk hallways with ease.
Love the black cherry with the red accents! Love that the panties has the cherry print on it! Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much! I think those bottoms made the swimsuit!!
I like the purple tankini
I think that one would be great with swim shorts!
I love the sneaky little Bigfoot in the back of your yard! :D
Meredith you was looking 👌 incredible in the blue halter set with the mesh 💙 👏 😍🔥 it was the best on looking from the selection. I can't believe, but it was looking like you are even several dress sizes smaller with the blue suit on .Just incredible looking ,what I would never expect from transparant mesh think 🤔
Love the dress you have on!! And the shirt under matches perfectly! Do you have the link? I’ve always been drawn to the clothes you have on in your videos. Just a suggestion to put the links to what you’re wearing in the video.
I’m watching now and I love the blue that you said was like a gown or something. When I saw you in it I said, “Wow Meredith!” I love it!
I liked the last suit on you, very flattering
Keep the green dress. it's awesome!
It’s hot here in Alberta, Canada as well 😎
Meredith I think you’re absolutely right about wearing what feels comfortable… I liked the first and last style of poolside wear the best on you! However, for actual swimming… the set with the cherries and red accent bow in the front was so flattering🤗 🌴🍹💕🎶🙏
❤ Good morning. . I love the cover up but I am sure there are better suits out there.😊 They were pretty, but i am not sure they would work well wet. Love your videos
Thank you, Marilyn! I have only swam in the royal blue one so far- it was fine, but probably had the least dress like properties of all of them!
Well I have to say the first one and last one are my favorites. Both looked great on you too. Though I could see having the bottoms be too housebound bother me. 🤗
Perfect I was thinking about ordering a bathing suit from bloochic thanks❤
That blue mesh skirt one looks great on you. I also love the one with the cherries
I love your videos! Have you ever thought of doing a best padded bike shorts for plus size girls?? I am a size 16/18 and have tried, and sent back, a lot of padded shorts. Anyone on here have a favorite??
Meredith, I think YOU would make an excellent model! I think that first swimsuit looked terrible on the model but looked amazing on you! They should hire you for sure
My favorite is the sheer blue mesh. It is too bad that the sharkbite suit wasn't 2 inches longer. Then, it would have been perfect. The first romper suit reminded me of the blue gymsuits we wore in Jr High. Maybe in a different color, I might have liked it. Everything else was just ok. It is too bad that the last suit flattened your bust so much. It would have been cute.
I think that last one has such potential- if it just had some kind of lift to it, it would have been a winner, I agree!
The blue mesh is the only one I have worn swimming and it was great in the water!
First off… HOW ARE YOU AND YOURS FOLLOWING THE HURRICANE??? 💖🙏🏽💖
Loved the romper suit!
Watching another UA-cam channel she talked about how color blocking with horizontal blocks aren’t flattering… for most people. That may be the issue with swimsuit with the handkerchief bottom. No flow. 🤷🏼♀️
That being said, I Love the cherry print ! 😂
I need suits suitable for water aerobics so chlorine resistance is first requirement.
Take care!! Stay safe!
Hey LaJuana- ugh, we are so hot!!! My parents had a whole house generator but it is no longer working. We are very lucky- no damage to any of our family’s homes.
I have been complaining, but I really know how fortunate we are!
I would rank those suit exactly as youdid!
I liked all of them on you except the last one. It looks to hot on to be in the sun. The first shorts one is really cute and looked really good on you.
Aw man, I like the black one. The last one you tried on.
me too!!
Her bottom two were my bottom two, but only because the others were so good! I liked all of them on her, I just liked those two the least of a good bunch!
The last swimsuit I thought really complimented your body. Nice colours too!
Thank you!
I liked all of them.
Where were you yesterday with this?! LOL I just placed my first order from Bloom Chic. I ordered a swimsuit and a dress. Fingers crossed!!!! I love your videos and your energy. Keep up the good work.
The inside shelf bras do not seem to provide much support. Probably even less when wet. Loved the cover
Most of these had more pads than truly supportive shelf bras, I agree.
Thank you for your videos
Thank you so much for watching!!
I have ordered from bloomchic swimsuits a few times. I ordered “Contrast Twist Front Skinny One Piece Swimsuit” in several colors. I’m pleased with the fit 2x, but find that the colors fade quick.
Oh, I don’t like to hear that! This is my first experience with them- I’m going to pay attention to the vibrancy and see if I have the same experience. We normally hang suits out to dry in the sun after swimming and my torrid suits hold their vibrancy years later!
I like the last 2 with the mesh cuz as if you're covered even getting out of water. BUT I do see & understand the last suit gives no shape for you. The last 2 suits also if traveling, going in & out of the pool & area around all ages & strangers. NO we should not have to nor feel like yet happens
Cherry swim I think whether you put the bow fore or aft it looks good and I like the pattern matching panties
I love the cherry, it is just fun!! I hope that you are having an awesome day ❤️❤️
Blue suit looks great on you
As someone who is chesty and hates wearing a bra swimsuit I know see the advantages. I think you would have liked some of the swimsuits better if you had a built in bra to lift the girls and help show off your waist. JMO And I have to say I am so jealous of your backyard pool. ❤ from Canada.
Same thoughts on the suits.nature is going to take it's course,why help it❤😅
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Thank you, Cheri!
❤
Mesh halter is cute.
Hi Meredith! I hope you and your family are ok in the storm. I thought you looked beautiful in the black mesh swim dress. It was sexy but lady like at the same time. You were speaking very fast so it was hard sometimes to understand but I enjoy your presentations.
We are doing alright- just hot and cranky! I had this one scheduled before the storm hit. We are all so thankful that the storm moved through quickly and that our area didn’t sustain any flooding.
I apologize for my fast talking, I naturally speak very quickly. I wonder if hitting the setting button and listening at at .75 speed would help at all? I will try to be more cognizant when recording in the future, as well! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
that first cover up looks like a tablecloth, the first suiti is OK, I would love to find something in two pieces so you don't have to stip a wet suit to use the bathroom. the second suit is really pretty for smaller bodies. I really think the last one is best if it had proper bust support. You're a brave woman to do all these online. Would love to see separates next time.
thanks for another swimsuit video. FYI on the models ...there is a lot of photoshop and Artificial Intelligence generated pictures and its just their head and someone's body.
❤❤❤❤
Love that u are a real bodie.since my last child the snatched waist disappeared.still want to be cute tho and love my Bodie as it is at the moment.working on it tho🙄🤨🤔😋😉
