Modest Tankini swimsuits by Popina Swimwear are fun, flattering and fashionable. Tankinis are a great alternative to One Piece Bathing Suits if you are looking to try something new. All of Popina’s Tankini styles have “meet and greet” sizing which means the bottom of the Tankini meets the top of the swimsuit bottom for your typical torso. Tankinis are also great if you do have a long torso and would like additional coverage, or if you love two piece suits but just cant bring yourself to wearing a one piece!
Here are some of Popina’s tankini styles:
Gina - great retro styling with wide neck straps, built in shelf bra
Wendy Halter Tankini - less supportive if you need it, but a great classic look if you can pull it off
Olivia-Lynne - features keyhole, built in shelf bra
Vintage Swimwearand Popina Swim go hand and hand. Popina’s designer Pamela Levenson began designing Vintage Bathing Suit styles because she loved the looks of the past but got tired of hunting down old worn swimsuits at the Vintage Swimsuit Store.
The Grace is a new style that Pamela added to the Popina collection this year. This style has been very well received, new fabric options will be available late this year.
Here is the Grace in Black.
Popina also carries a wide selection of Jantzen One Piece Bathing Suits and all are on sale right now for 20% off. You can choose from the Jantzen Vamp Swimsuit in Sea Green, Red, Yellow, Black, Magenta or Java.

Milagros also carries maternity needs – including Bella Bands – and breastfeeding support products from Bravado, Medela and LilyPadz. To top it off, you will always find a wide selection of recycled maternity, nursing, baby, and kid clothes at Milagros.
From the beginning, the goal for Milagros has been to be more than just a fun place to shop.

This style is our most popular Boy Short Swim Suit. Wear it high wear it low, depending on your mood, great retro feel. Fully extended this has the same length as the Basic Boy Short.
This bathing suit bottom has an exterior Swim Skirt with a full Boy Short underneath. This suit combines the coverage of the Boy Short with a fun flirty flow of a tennis skirt.
This Boy Short Style is our most conservative and our most fashion foward at the same time depending on your taste! High Waist bottoms is a great back to the future style of the past for you fashion forward ladies. Or if you are more conservative this is a bikini bottom with a lot of coverage.
