Celebrating Your Curves In A Plus Size Bikini
Who said bikinis are only for the tiny? Even full-figured women
can look perfect for the beach or pool in a well-fitting plus
size bikini. Remember that even the thinnest woman has aspects
of her body that she would like to change or hide. With these
expert tips, you can find the perfect plus size bikini that will
flatter your figure and camouflage what you find less than ideal.
Work With What You Have
Take a good look in the mirror and decide what you want to cover
and what you want to show in your plus size bikini. If you have
great legs, look for styles that are cut higher on the leg.
Halter-top styles look good on large busts and provide the
necessary support. Tankinis work wonders on covering tummies,
and boy-cut shorts can hide less than perfect thighs.
Choose a Pattern
One of the best ways to minimize and camouflage in a bikini is
to choose a large colorful floral print or other pattern. Stay
away from dainty flowers that can emphasize bulges. If you are
bigger on the bottom than on top, consider wearing a printed top
and a solid bottom. This will draw the eye upwards towards the
face and away from the hips. Keep in mind that while horizontal
stripes will appear to widen the body, vertical stripes will
lengthen. And, solid black isn't always the most slimming solid
color. In fact, it can look rather drab on a bikini. Try to
stick to fun, vibrant colors.
Don't Worry About The Size
Swimsuits are generally cut smaller than other types of
clothing. For example, if you are used to wearing a 14, expect
to need a swimsuit in a 16 or 18. Don't worry about this. What
is important is that the bikini fits well and provides the
coverage and support that you need.
Accessorize
Once you have chosen the perfect bikini, look for a coordinating
cover-up, sarong, or swim skirt. With a pair of colorful sandals
and a fun beach bag, you will be ready to strut your stuff.
Love Your Body
The perfect bikini is only a shopping trip away. Remember to
love your body the way it is and flaunt what you like about
yourself. If you have the confidence to wear a bikini, no one
will dare question you. Rather, they will most likely be envious
of your healthy self-esteem.
