  In the exciting build up to the Miss Universe GB finals which is being held 1st May 2011 in Birmingham, it has been announced that Sandstorm Boutique, one of the UK’s premier swim and beach wear companies are to be the swimwear sponsors for 2nd year running. This year the pageant finalists are being treated to gorgeous designer swimwear ‘free of charge’ from Sandstorm Boutique.
The contestants will be wearing designer bikinis and one piece bathing suits specifically created for the event by Sandstorm Boutique. Sandstorm is working with She swimwear on the production of the swimwear and then each piece is being hand embellished with delicate crystals in the UK. The glamorous bikinis and bathing suits are sure to make the 60 finalists sparkle on the stage during the swimwear round.
Naomi John CEO and MD for Sandstorm Boutique is said to be delighted about being invited back to work with Miss Universe GB for the second year. “It is a pleasure to work with the Miss Universe GB team again. The Miss Universe GB pageant reflects a multi-cultural British Society and young women from all backgrounds will have a chance to win the competition and go on to represent the UK at the world finals later this year. As swimwear sponsors it is important for us to provide swimwear which will make the women feel comfortable and confident when they walk on the stage during the swimwear round. The choice of swimwear takes into account the multi cultural differences in the UK and we are therefore offering the contestants a choice of either a one-piece bathing suit or a bikini”. As swimwear sponsors, Sandstorm Boutique will be judging the swimwear round and they will be providing the winner of that round with designer swimwear. Additionally, Sandstorm will also be providing the overall winner of Miss Universe GB with a swimwear and beachwear package to take to the grand finals being held in Brazil in September.
