Hello and welcome to Sequins and Sand! If you're new, a big warm summer smile to you. If you have been with us for a while (hello...we've been online for over 14 years now), then you may have noticed a few changes.
At Sequins and Sand, the promise is simple: we want you to live your summer life with unstoppable freedom and joy. No holding back because you can't find a swimsuit that fits you well. No holding back because of the way you feel about being in a swimsuit, in public.
Our mission - to support women in midlife experiencing significant personal change, feel more like themselves again and step into the next chapter of their lives with unbridled confidence. How do we do that? In quite a few ways:
- Swim and Resortwear Marketplace - showcasing labels that understand women in midlife and our needs; product reviews too
- Swimsuit fit advice and Styling Service - incorporating a custom Shape & Size Calculator and swimsuit fit advice
- Masterclasses & Events - to educate, inspire and bring us together
- Unlock Your Cossie Confidence Course - self-paced course tailor made to give you 14+ years of Cossie Whisperer know-how and reclaim your swimsuit confidence.
- A VIP club (completely free) with your own account and personal login for all your fit info, masterclasses and extra benefits of course.
- Oh...we even have a Podcast now that we do with the incredibly talented Erica Webb. It's called Midlife Unfiltered - The Season Of Me. Find it where ever you listen to your podcasts, just search for Midlife Unfiltered - The Season Of Me. We're also on Substack. We LOVE Substack. All substance without the social media stuff.
Because, girl...you are just getting started. And if you can do it in a Swimsuit, you can do it in anything! Right?! It's the proof.
Think of Sequins and Sand as your go-to Cossie Concierge. The team you turn to when thinking Swimsuits and Midlife Confidence. All the inside information, tips and know-how to get you swimsuit sorted and your confidence restored. Unbiased, experienced and authentic.
We're here to help you get your swimsuit style mojo back. To be able to step out onto that sand and diving into the pool feeling confident - and fabulous! We are dedicated to helping women embrace their love of summer all over again. And if it's been a while since you stepped out onto the sand in a swimsuit, or if your confidence is shaken, then welcome home. Here you'll find a gentle hand up to have you loving summer once again.
If you're heading off on an eagerly anticipated summer holiday, we've got what you need to get you ready in a snap. No skimp. No frump. Swim and Resortwear for sizes 12-30.
Find Your Swimsuit With Less Stress and More Ease:
We have curated a large, ever growing collection of Swim and Resortwear and put them all in once place for you. Check back often because there will be more! Not only have we hand picked them, we've 'graded' them so that you can filter to find what you're after, THEN add your favourites to your Wishlist You can even email it to yourself so you always have a way to remember what you've done :)
Filter and Find your swimsuit based on its:
- Level of Bust Support
- Size range
- Body Shape suitability
- Colour - including if it's a warm or cool colour (to suit your personal colour palette)
- Print or plain
- Mastectomy friendly
- Pool tough (Chlorine Resistant)
Shop Directly with the Labels
This is the biggest change we've made. So that we can focus more on helping you to FIND that swimsuit and FEEL confident in it, we are no longer retailing. We are a Swimsuit & Summer Style & Body Confidence service business. Over time, we will expand the number of swimsuits and resortwear pieces for you to browse and shop directly with the brands. By changing to this way of doing business, we can offer more AND in a very thoughtfully helpful way.

Our Cossie Confidence Mission
Cossie Confidence (Swimsuit Confidence ) is the very heart and soul of all we do at Sequins and Sand.
There's something about being in a swimsuit, the very thought of being in one, that brings out all sorts of negative feelings and emotions for so many beautiful women. It's something not often talked about, but it's certainly there.
Over the years I've had 100's of conversations with women who feel this way. Something had to be done to let them know that they were not alone. That it was possible to take back their summers - not to sit out and miss out any longer. That it was possible to find THAT swimsuit and be confident wearing it. To make wonderful memories with those they loved and be in the photos, not taking them.
So, the Cossie Confidence movement was born. We have done 6 annual campaigns so far. You can see the Cossie Confidence campaigns and our wonderful Cossie Confidence Crew here. A passionate group of every day women who have had their own body confidence and swimsuit confidence issues in the past, who come together and put themselves out there showing the way, for you.
