Swimwear for the Curvy Girl

Memorial Day is almost upon us, and for many (myself included) it marks the beginning of the much loved, but also much dreaded summer season. I say much dreaded because summer=swimsuits, which can be the bane of any woman's existance - thin, thick, short, tall, curvy or straight.

Besides the challenge of finding a suit that's cute and not matronly in a plus size, it's also hard for a girl with big girls to find a suit with enough support and lift to be worn comfortably. It boggles my mind there there are so few stylish bra-sized swimsuits out there!

So, on that note, I've gathered up a bunch of options I've seen around the interwebs - one and two piece suits, bra sized and not. Enjoy!

Tankini

One-piece

I like to mix and match my tankini swimsuits, and I've found that Land's End has some really great options as far as bottoms go.

I've already put in an order for two one-piece swimsuits, the mocha ruched one and purple v-neck above it, both from Land's End. I'm also planning to buy a tankini, either the beige and black striped one from Fig Leaves, or the navy and white polka dots from Land's End.

Hope you all have a lovely and safe Memorial Day weekend :)
