Swimwear is always a love-hate relationship for women. It’s got to be the hardest fashion item to buy because we are so body-conscious. We want to look like people in magazines but generally speaking, those women (or girls) don’t look like that either. They look like that courtesy of Photoshop. The trick is to understand what type of body you have and accept it. It doesn’t mean you can’t be fit or workout or watch what you eat. It’s about loving who you are right now and accepting that body and dress to look fabulous in the outfit du jour today rather than what you would like to look like next week/month/season/year or birthday.
So for those of us who don’t have perfect bodies, here are some cool swimwear that I thought was really worthwhile for those women who are larger than size 2 and maybe the average size of 12 — which is truly the norm in the US and even most of the western world. I curated through these with a thought to bust-size, hip-size, and body shape. Some things you can’t easily change but you can wear clothing that’s more supportive and flattering for that body type.
The line I have selected items from is Always For Me!
Style # 79373wa $89.00
The halter tie at the neck gives you adjustable support, along with the sewn in molded cup bra. Soft rouching along the tummy is a slenderizing detail of this gorgeous one-piece swimsuit. The drawstring at each hip can be adjusted together or independently for a variety of sexy and sophisticated looks. The deep v neckline and skirt bottom are finished with tonal mesh trim, adding depth and dimension to this swimsuit. It’s perfect for a woman with curves and a bustline that needs some support. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Style # 67164W $89.00
This fab bandeau swimsuit gives extra support and comfort that women seek! With a slightly padded soft cup bra and extra side support to hold you in all the right places, this will help anyone with a larger bustline who still wants to show off the girls. There is full tummy control with nylon/spandex mesh for instant slimming and the shirring on the sides provides a shapely silhouette that flaunts your curves. The slight bit of skirt gives you a bit more coverage without looking like a full-coverage swimdress. Halter straps are removeable and the bandeau is flattering particularly if you can wear it as a strapless top with a long skirt or wide legged palazzo pants. Available in a variety of colors, this is a winner!

These models are beautiful, and the styles do flatter the figures. The shirring is coming back as a look for everyone now.
I curated all these swimsuits personally. I went in and specifically chose styles and colors and things that would work for different body issues. It’s really important for people to get that with a little searching they can find the right fit and look GREAT
I think the purple one is the best;) I’d wear that!
