Plus size Swimsuits

- Keep it simple and stylish.

- Make sure that you chose good quality materials. The material used can make all the difference between a good support that slims down your silhouette or a frumpy look. Look for high lycra content, which really helps hold in your stomach.

- Choose swimwear that has colour strips that define the waist.

- Wear lighter colours on your upper body and darker colours on the bottom to accentuate your waistline.

- Chose accents that draw the eye up, for example a nice little bow, a pattern or a deep neckline to draw attention away from ample hips or an undefined waist.

- Look for Princess seaming down the front of the suit and creative accents at the waistline, to create a visual waist.

- V-necks will slenderize your face and minimize your waist area.

- Go for wide shoulder straps to eliminate digging into your skin. Also look for cup sizes with built in elastic to accommodate your breast and support it comfortably.

- If you have an ample back then look for high cut arm holes to eliminate bulges popping out on the sides.

- Halter-top styles look good on large busts and provide the necessary support.

- If you wear a C cup or up, you might want to consider extra bust support: with proper bra cup sizes that fit well.

- If you have an ample breast and a small bottom, try flashier and brighter bikini bottoms than your top to give the illusion of an hourglass figure.
