This isn’t the first time Bridget has made an appearance at Girl on the River. I first introduced you to her last year when I came up with a list of Christmas gifts for women rowers. At that point I hadn’t met Bridget in person – she was just a cute all-in-one I’d spotted online and thought looked like my kind of thing. She had me at cross-over back, in fact.
But then… the marvelous Brid herself, of Queen B Athletics, kindly sent me my very own Bridget.
Oh my. This is a classy bit of kit. If only every all-in-one were this good. If only this were my club all-in-one.
I’m not sure if you can see it clearly, but it has a frill – an ACTUAL FRILL – up the front. What’s more, it’s made of beautifully smooth and flexible lycra, with an extra layer from the waist down, which is always a good thing in an all-in-one.
The cross-over straps and pink stripe across the back make it even better (and if you don’t want your sports bra to show, Queen B do a lovely range of cross-over sports bras, so you can look even more fabulous).
I’ll tell you how good it is, in fact. I received compliments from ALL of my shipmates on this. As a squad we never agree on anything. Anything at all. Especially my kit, which usually attracts comments like, “Trash, that’s vile”. But with Bridget… ahhh, everyone was happy.
And now for the surprise, which is when my fellow rowers actually squealed with delight. OK, one of them did. And I did, too. Look what happens when you roll it down, as you will at a regatta…
Squeeeaaaallll!! Pink lining!!!! I know, right?
So yes, this is the best all-in-one, like EVERRRRRR. And yes, you may curtsey.
Bridget all-in-one, in blue and pink, from Queen B Athletics, €72
Note:
1. Queen B is an Irish company so the prices are in euros, but the delivery prices are not outlandish.
2. This all-in-one was a gift, but not with a review in mind. It was only because I loved it so much that you’re reading this.
