Plus Size Bathing Suits For All Figures
The reason so many of us hate shopping for plus size bathing
suits is because we often don't know what style is the best for
our figure. It's easy to pick the same unflattering style year
after year. But, why not take a risk, and explore some new
styles in plus size bathing suits? Let's review the most common
figure complaints and find the most flattering styles.
Wide Hips, Big Thighs
This is probably the most common figure problem, but it can
easily be camouflaged with the right suit. Look for one or two
piece plus size bathing suits with high cut bottoms that will
give the appearance of longer legs. If you are not comfortable
with this much exposure, try a flirty swim skirt or sarong to
cover the area. Avoid, at all costs, boy cut shorts. They can
make your hips and thighs appear even larger and wider.
Tummy Bulge
Who doesn't have this problem? One-piece styles with shirring
can mask an ample tummy. Suits with deep, plunging necklines
will draw the eye upwards and away from the bulge. Stay away
from skimpy bikinis and low-rise bottoms.
Busty
Do you have too much of a good thing? Yes, cleavage can look
great, but you don't want to be falling out of your suit. Look
for swimwear with built-in underwire bras, or halter tops for
extra support. Don't reach for that string bikini, unless you
want your fellow beachgoers to get an eyeful of you.
Small Bust
Find a suit that has foam padding and underwire uplift. Bright
prints and ruffles around the neckline can help hide a less than
ample bust.
Short Torso
Bathing suits with deep v-necks can elongate the body. Boy cut
or board shorts that sit low on the hips can add length, as
well. Stay away from high cut bottoms that can make your body
appear even shorter.
Long Torso
Try a one-piece suit with high cut legs. You can break up the
long vertical lines with a tankini that exposes a bit of
midriff.
Now that you have a better idea of what will work with your body
type, go ahead and try on a few new styles. Experiment with
color and pattern, as well. It is not written anywhere that full
figured women have to wear boring bathing suits. You might just
find a flattering new look that is just right for you.
