From the beginning of the era when women’s swim suits were acceptable, Gottex Swimwear, an Israeli company, has been in the business.

Celebrating its 50th year in business, Gottex provides quality swimwear that flatters and defines a woman’s body. The drop dead prints used in the designs are specially created by Gottex to project many different cultural influences throughout the world.

Sizing.
The Gottex swimwear collection comes in sizes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14. Most of the time, if one goes by their dress size, then a Gottex swimsuit of the same size will be fine. This is true unless there is a large discrepancy in top size to bottom size.

Some of the Gottex designs are sold as a set and some are sold by the piece.
This depends on where you shop and what design you pick. When at all possible 2 piece suits should be bought as separates for the best fit unless you have a totally proportionate body.

Prices:
Gottex swimwear can be purchased for over $100 – over $200 at high end stores like Bergdorf Goodman but there are some online sources that offer some of the suits at discounted prices ranging from around $36.

Where to shop?
The 2007 Gottex swimwear collection can be seen at gottexmodels.

For purchasing, the designs are readily available at many internet distributors like Bergdorf Goodman as well as in high end retail shops.

For discounted Gottex swimwear, visit shop.nordstrom.com where you will find some designs for as little as $36 per piece.
