Plus-Size Swimwear

30 May 2008 | Author: Hayley

Deciding what to take, and what not to take on holiday is always a struggle.

Obviously you want to prepare for every eventuality, but you also want to travel as light as possible.

If you’re setting off for a few weeks on the beach you’ll more than likely want to take some kind of swimsuit with you. We can all sit sunbathing for hours on end, but there always comes a point where you can’t stand the heat any longer and you end up cooling down in the sea or swimming pool.

Finding Plus-Size Swimwear can feel like a losing battle. You find a style you like but they don’t stock your size, or you find your size but in the ugliest and most old-fashioned suit in the shop.

So just in time for summer here are our favourite online retailers of plus-size swimwear.

Bare Necessities are an online lingerie and swimwear company that stock up to a UK dress size 28 and cup size HH.

Their swimsuits are well designed to cater for a curvier figure. This Plunge Swimsuit is a great style for those who feel confident about exposing their cleavage. The bright colours and diagonal lines draw attention to the bust, while the black bottom half disguises any lumps and bumps as this particular suit features a ‘Sensitive Control’ tummy panel.

Bravissimo, market leaders in catering for women with bigger busts stock a great range of swimwear. Although their dress sizes only go up to a UK size 18, their bikini and tankini tops go up to bra size 38K!

If you’re confident enough to wear a bikini, then Bravissimo is the place to go for some really stylish designs! We love this balconette bikini by Freya. Not only will you look fab on the beach, you can ensure peace of mind that you’re properly supported.

Like the idea of a bikini but not ready for total tummy exposure just yet? Why not opt for a tankini?

This style is great because you can mix and match just like you can with a bikini, yet most of your stomach is hidden.

Simply Yours stock some fab tankinis. We especially like this tangerine halter neck. Designed by Anna Scholz this particular piece goes up to a UK size 32!

Simply Yours also sell board shorts. These are perfect if you plan on keeping active on holiday. Run in and out of the sea as much as you like. With board shorts there’s no need for sarongs because you simply swim whilst wearing them and then dry off once you’re out the water! This particular pair go up to a UK size 32, and are also available in blue.
