Tilly & Co. Swim

09/01/2025

SO PROUD.

Yesterday the family and I enjoyed some time at Adventure Park (only the 2nd time I’ve been as an adult).

It made me so happy to see everyone rocking their swimwear regardless of their age, shape, size.

I’ve always struggled with my body image, and have been open with the fact that having this business has been a great step forward in my mental journey! Along with making more time for my health and fitness.

After seeing everyone so comfortable and happy in their bodies, I found myself asking “why am I making myself the same one style? Why can’t I make myself some of my favourite styles?”

So here is to loving ourselves more in 2025, and wearing what WE want!

Hello all! 👋

Huge apologies coming your way! I know many of you were excited to see Tilly & Co. coming back for summer!

Going to be real with you here for a moment…

Why haven’t you seen an announcement saying the website is back up and running and we are back in the office?!

1) Unfortunately due to the downtime I’ve had, I’ve had some dramas reactivating the website, so while I wrap my head around which option is easiest (let’s be honest, they both aren’t very appealing) I’m taking orders by hand until that glitch is sorted 🫣😬

2) I HAVE NOT FOR THE 👏 LIFE 👏 OF ME, BEEN ABLE TO CHOOSE MY FABRICS 🤯
Sounds silly I know. But the general process, at least for me is getting a feel for trending colours and patterns so that I can provide you with a sustainable & fashionable option, this usually means a ridiculous amount of options, (that I wish I could use all of) that I need to then cull down to a select few options before I release them to you all.
Well, do you think I’ve been able to even cull my options this year? NOPE!

So, the truth is, I’ve been caught in a funk all because of some technical difficulties and because I have endless options of beautiful fabric prints to choose from! What a conundrum the latter is, honestly 🫣🫢🤣

I love you all for hanging around despite me ghosting you all 😶‍🌫️

So while I have you, throw your ideas at me! Florals, neons, neutrals, etc etc!
Previously I’ve had a huge mixed bag of responses to posts, and I know I can’t make 100% of people happy all at once (although the people pleaser in me wants to) but I want you to have beautiful options that you struggle to choose from! Dreaming, I know!

I’d love to hear from you all, let’s get this ball rolling again, and help me get out of my creative funk and back in my element 😘

HELLO ALL MY WONDERFUL FOLLOWERS 🌟

Boy have I missed you all!

Thank you for sticking behind my little biz while I’ve been taking a much longer than expected break!

It’s been a big few years for my little people and I, as we have navigated some big and little changes!

I won’t bore you all with the details, but I do feel that one of the most crucial details is I have resigned from my full time job this week, which means more time to put into Tilly & Co!!!

So, this meansssssss……

SWIMWEAR FOR SUMMER!

I will be doing things slightly differently this time around, which will mean it’s still a few weeks away from being up and running, but I wanted to say hello and let you all know that exciting things are coming 🥰

Hello all of my lovelies!
Tilly & Co. is going to be taking a short break.
As you will have noticed, we’ve been pretty quiet on social media, while still fulfilling orders and attending wonderful events, there has been a bit going on behind the scenes (life hey!).
I, Christie, am transitioning back to my full time job (which I’ve had some time off from this year) and while I’m getting back into the swing of that, I am going to take a little vaycay from sewing to ensure I am in the best place I can be for my return.
This will also give me some time to do some VERYYYYY overdue maintenance on the website and my poor machines!
As always I’ll still be here for inquiries, and happy to discuss the potential for orders still.
Rest assured any orders currently on my table will be finalised and sent out without any interruption!
I look forward to sewing up your dream suits again very soon!
Xx

With the recent demand on orders, delays with printing and fabrics and subsequently extended production time, Tilly & Co. Swim will be trialling some changes!

Stay tuned for a more detailed update in the next week.

And as always thank you for your continued love and support!

WE ARE ONE!!

It’s so hard to believe that one year ago today, Tilly & Co. Swim was launched!

I want to take a second to thank each and every ONE of you! Without your ongoing support, love and encouragement, I wouldn’t be here celebrating our first birthday!

From the simple sharing of my page, which has meant I’ve had wonderful opportunities to speak on radio, along with numerous magazine articles including GT MAG & FORTE MAG.

From purchasing a piece or two of swimwear.

For simply cheering me on.

Every little thing counts and is appreciated!

It’s been a wild ride, and the support from locals and the community has been above and beyond what I could have ever imagined!

Here’s to bigger and better things in 2023!

Much love to all you wonderful people 🤍🤎🧡

I’m a little bit late on this, but I only just got my hands on a copy 🙊

Thank you to the Geelong Advertiser’s GT MAG for approaching me to be a feature in last Saturdays Magazine!

I’m absolutely humbled by the support and love this community has shown me!

The weather is (mostly) fine ☀️
School is going back 📚
Are you looking forward to sneaking in a swim at the beach on your own?
I know I am 😁
