For over a year now we have been following the unfolding of an inspiring concept that is Nettle's Tale Swimwear Inc. The message is simple: Don't just accept yourself, but sincerely love yourself. Vancouver-based designer, Julia Church, hopes to empower woman via her line of swimsuits, thoughtfully designed to accommodate the diverse range of body types that women actually have.
As you can imagine, we were more than thrilled at the opportunity to have a personal fitting with the woman behind the Magic Bottoms.
