“I’m such a crochet girl. My favorite type of bikini is when it looks like it’s been made out of yarn in the middle of the jungle,” Vallandingham tells us. “That’s my favorite type of bikini, so that’s what I’m going to do all summer.”

Lane, who has modeled for SI Swimsuit two years in a row now, can attest that Monday Swimwear is a great option.

“Monday Swimwear, they have great things,” Lane shares with SI Swimsuit. “I have a small back [and] larger cup, so I need things that I can tie at the back rather than having a clip, and then I can adjust myself so I can go for an extra large with a small bottom. And then I can kind of do my own adjusting, which really helps, and it makes it so much easier.”

Sizes range from Petite to Voluptuous.

Rebdolls

Full-coverage pieces for those who might require some flexibility, two-pieces made out of breathable fabrics that won’t interrupt flows and stretchy looks that allow the body to move are all things this brand has thought of with their designs.
