Designer Altrichia Cook has released a colorful new line of swimwear designed specifically for women who wish to hide their pregnancy scars. Cook came up with the idea for a line of post-pregnancy swimwear after her own attempt to find a two-piece swimsuit that would be high enough to cover her pregnancy scars. When Cook discovered that there were no real options for women like herself, she decided to start up her own company called 'Allusions by A. Lekay.'
All of the pieces in the Allusions line are inspired by the retro high-waist bikinis of the 1950s. The high-wasit cut is not only stylish, but it is also perfectly designed to hide pregnancy scars. The idea behind the line is to empower women to flaunt their fashion sense, without worrying about any perceived imperfections.
With hand-crafted details and high-fashion designs, the swimwear line is so chic that those even without scars will want to wear the pieces.
