Can someone recommend a web size for plus size swimwear?


Recommended Posts

You can try: Catherines, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug (they do have plus sizes), swimsuitsforall.

 

I don't like the suits with the skirts because I feel they add more wight to my upper thighs.

I bought this one at JCPenney. I didn't think the skirt part would be too flattering but I think it looks really nice and it helps with the "baby belly" I have.

 

Also, IMHO, the halter type top draws attention away from my problem areas and puts it where I don't have a problem, my chest! :D

I also second Fashion Bug. I shop our local store and they have a lot of nice, flattering, and in style clothes/swimwear in plus sizes.

I would google and put your cup size or maybe the size you know you wear in swimsuits, like 40DD swimsuit or size 18 swimsuit or XL swimsuit. You will find a lot of different online stores. And don't forget ebay!

I just got a Lands End catalog in the mail today and they have a huge assortment of swim separates in all sizes (petites,misses,womens) and you can buy the pieces separately. They have a variety of tops, full coverage and skirt type bottoms and matching skirts that you could wear as a cover up. They also have an 800 number with a swimwear specialist to help you decide what would be best for your needs.

http://www.qvc.com

carries swimsuits too in plus sizes. They have a 30 day return quarantee also.

 

Read the fine print when ordering a swimsuit on-line or thru a catalog (as well as when purchased at a store). "some" stores will not allow returns on a swimsuit. It has something to do with healthcode rules that once purchased and returned, it cannot be resold to another customer.

I have ordered my bathing suits from QVC Shopping. They are really nice. They have a size chart so you can be sure your getting the right size. Their medium is like a large at JC Penny. You can also return it for 30 days--no questions asked. They have suits for all sizes.I get the ones with the skirt because I don't like my upper leg showing. I think I look much thinner in them.
