Stunning Swimwear Made for Curves

Summer after summer I struggled to find swimwear that would fit my large bust but also look super cute, too. Throw in the added complication of being plus size, and I often felt I had no other option than to squeeze into a wetsuit and be done with it.

Things have now, thankfully, changed and there is a wealth of gorgeous, well-fitting options out there made for curves. I’ve sifted through the pieces on offer and picked out my favorites that are guaranteed to make you wow this summer.

Whether you’re planning a glam girl’s getaway, family vacation or a romantic chilled out escape, here are some suitable swimwear options for every occasion.
