Too cold for swimwear?
Meet our new sister brand Merino Minnie!
Merino-Minnie.com is our new online store for pure merino hoodie-scarves and cowls.  All our scarves are made from 100% New Zealand merino wool which is beautifully soft and warm.  We ship across the world and your new scarf will be delivered to you quickly.

Our merino scarves feel as great as they look, have a look at our soft and warm pure merino products at www.merino-minnie.com and check out customer photos and testimonials on the Your Pictures page.  Merino Minnie currently has two key products described below.

 1.   Merino Hoodie-Scarf

The hoodie scarf is made from pure NZ merino wool. The 'infinity' style hoodie scarf can be worn in many ways. It can be worn as an infinity scarf just draped around your neck. You can wrap the merino hoodie-scarf 2 or 3 times around your neck. You can pull the hood up and wear the merino scarf as a hood and a scarf. (An infinity scarf is a scarf that is joined in a circle, not a long piece with ends.) 

Every Merino Minnie hoodie-scarf comes with a lapel pin for you to adjust the folds of your hoodie. This pin is unadorned. If you wish you can embellish your pin by simply gluing a small 'treasure' to the pin, earrings who have lost their mate are great for this!

2.   Merino Cowl-Scarf

Merino Minnie's cowl scarf is a beautiful warm double layer of merino wool that is soft against your skin, fills the gap left by an open jacket or coat, and adds a splash of colour to your outfit. The merino cowl can be worn several ways. You can pull the cowl over your head and wear it wround around your neck as a scarf. You can pull the merino cowl up the back of your head and wear it as a hood and scarf. And you can pull the cowl up from your neck and wear it around your head as a hat.

How it all began ...
Are you fed up with not being able to easily buy quality large breast swimwear that fits you? Do you just want swimwear that fits your boobs, looks good and you can wear confidently? Me too!

My size is in the large breast/large bust range and I have always had problems buying swimwear that fits. There are so few bikinis and tankinis available that fit and flatter women with a larger bust.
 

Things I want in swimwear:
a good fit
a bikini/tankini top that I don’t feel like I can fall out of. One that is designed for women with a larger bust. One that can fit women with any back size.
flexible sizing
no more trying to work out whether I am a 4 or a 6 or an 8, or a 12 or 14 or a 16, or a DD or an E or an F or a G, or US or UK or Eur or Aus or NZ standard sizing
flattering cut
have you read some of those articles about how the best shape for a bigger busted woman is a high necked, one dark colour swimsuit? Well it is if you want to look like you’re wearing a giant car tyre on your chest!! - V and halter styles are our friends!!
minimising design
fabric and design that minimises the look of my breasts, patterned fabric does make your breasts look less conspicuous.
freedom
I want a bikini that feels like a swimsuit, not a bra.
comfort
I don’t want straps that dig into my neck and get sore after an hour or two of wear.
to be able to sunbathe
a bikini/tankini with ties so I can sunbathe easily without getting strapmarks.
fashionable fabrics, colours & patterns
fabric colours that suit my skin colour (and yours!), patterns that flatter my shape, and don’t look like they are made for my nanna
separates that mix and match
and create a wardrobe that goes from sunbathing and swimming on the beach/poolside to eating lunch, shopping or having a drink at the bar. A bikini to a dress in lycra!
to look good and feel great!
 

If you are a large bust, large cup size, sonsie woman than you may have had the experience, once you got past the horrors of the changing room of course, of wearing swimwear that is:
  • too small - uncomfortable, unflattering and embarrassing when they reveal too much.
  • too much like what your nanna might wear.
  • or maybe you went for the big singlet/t-shirt over the top look?
Well I did too! ... and then I started Sonsie.

sonsie, sonsy adj : (of a woman's body) having a large bosom and pleasing curves
Son"cy, Sonsy Son"sy, a. [Scot. sonce, sons, prosperity, happiness, fr. Gael. & Ir. sonas.] Lucky; fortunate; thriving; plump. [Prov. Eng. & Scot.]

sonsie, sonsy adj : (of a woman's body) having a large bosom and pleasing curves

And a couple of people have told me that they've heard it used as "cheeky". 

So good luck with being a comely, beautiful and happy woman - in a great swimsuit of course!
