Fashion designers have finally woke up to the fact that 6 out of 10 North American women are considered "plus size". If they want to make a hit with us larger framed girls, then they have to get designing better fitting bathing suits, and swimwear.
Looks like they did. Plus Size bathing suits are better fitting around the hips now, the fabrics are more comfortable, there is no more tugging and digging in with that stringy elastic, and there are way more choices and styles in the plus size swimwear now.
Plus size is considered size 14 and up. For many women, they get hung up on the size tag. Different designers and manufacturers have different ranges of sizing, and you really need to take your measurements, tuck them in your purse, and have them with you. Then when it comes time to try on bathing suits, take in a size or two bigger than you are, and a size or two smaller into the change room, and see how they fit.
You should be relaxed and in a good frame of mind, no sense going shopping for a bathing suit, if you are in a bad mood.. nothing will look right.
With the assortment of styles and color in plus size swimwear, you will need to spend a good hour looking. Which is great! It was not that long ago, when plus size bathing suits, looked like bags with no shape, and usually a gaudy color, and basically one little rack in the store! Not anymore.. so ignore that size tag, and find a plus size bathing suit that fits your figure. Rip off the size tag after, if it bothers you. No one needs to know the size but you.
When the fit is right, you will feel good, you will stand taller, and you will look slimmer. Then go and have fun at the beach.
