I think this summer Freya Lingerie have saved the best for last. This gorgeous Biba inspired Bardot (30-38D-G/GG) is beautifully simple and elegant, combining classic Freya shapes perfectly with the vintage fashion label’s retro style.  Already, I love it.

It doesn’t come in a tremendously wide range of sizes, which is disappointing for smaller backs and those Freya fans clamouring for more GG+ swimwear styles. But that aside, for me this is swimwear perfection in every way. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s destined to be a classic.

Not just yet though. Fans of Bardot will have to wait practically forever until its August release to get their hands on the stellar collection, which is more than a little bit frustrating for those of us already itching to get our hands on it. Although – in not totally unrelated news – it is my birthday in August…
