The ultimate swimsuit guide for big busts and curvy bottoms
The weather is finally warming up, which means swimsuit season is right around the corner—time to rock what your mama gave you!
If you are a plus-size woman with a big bust like me, you know all too well how hard it is to find bathing suits that fit a DD+ bra size, let alone one that supports your bottom or midsection. Even though swimsuit shopping can be a major chore, all bodies are worthy of being bikini bodies regardless of your size. The key to finding the perfect suit for you is to look for something that is the correct size and provides adequate support for curves since swimsuits typically run about one size smaller than your usual dress size.
Some key words to look out for when shopping for fuller busts and bottoms are adjustable straps, full coverage, underwire or molded cups, high-waist cut and power mesh lining.
This season is all about swimsuits that are designed to be figure flattering and fashion forward, all at the same time. Whether you are lounging by the pool or getting into the waves, these swimsuits will make you look and feel fabulous. Give your curves the support they need in a swimsuit that will actually make you feel good and won’t break the bank!
From fun bikinis and tankinis to colorful one-pieces, keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite plus-size swimsuits that are perfect for big busts and bottom.
