To illustrate their point, the brand created a range of 50s inspired Shapewear items, designed with the more mature lady in mind, and asked Helvin to model the collection to help to encourage confidence in others.<\/p>\n<p>Helvin may not be an &#8216;average-looking&#8217; 59-year-old, but bloggers and <a title=\"models\" href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/ourmodelssay-select.html\" target=\"_blank\">models<\/a> here agree that she looks great in the collection &#8211; not only due to her age-defying body, but also her clear confidence on the <a title=\"photo shoot\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-2166004\/Model-Marie-Helvin-proves-older-women-CAN-wear-bikinis-poses-piece-age-59.html?ito=feeds-newsxml%20\" target=\"_blank\">photo shoot<\/a>.

It\u2019s not as though the only options out there are tiny string bikinis &#8211; there is so much choice now for women thanks to sites like isme.com, and they put so much technology into today\u2019s designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Like every woman I\u2019ve gone through the experience of my body changing with time. As the years go by you get to know yourself better, and learn what works for you. It becomes even more important to find clothes that fit, flatter and help overcome the confidence issues that all women share.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Readers agree. One commented: &#8220;My mum is 65 and still looks amazing in a bikini. Why are there &#8216;rules&#8217; that say you have to dress a certain way at this age, etc. If someone looks good, let them wear what they like!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for isme.com said the collection was created with, &#8220;a<span> view to building confidence as well as every woman\u2019s individual sense of glamour and comfort.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re sure that 59-year-old Talent Management model Susie (pictured above) would look great in some of the isme.com swimwear designs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent study, 70 percent of Brits questioned by online mature fashion brand isme.com said that women over the age of 39 should give up their bikinis for good.
