Nice Bathing Suits for Plus Sized and Expecting Women
Most women sizes 14 and above dread shopping for a plus-sized swimsuit. In fact, many plus-sized women avoid any summer beach and pool activities because their department store bathing suit selection is often filled with ill-fitting fabrics and drab-colored beachwear. Thanks to the development of more well-constructed and glamorous swimwear options, a bevy of beautiful swimwear is now available to fit and flatter plus-sized swimsuit shoppers of all shapes and sizes.
Significance
According to market research company NPD Group, the women’s plus-sized market is one of the fastest growing retail industries. With women sized 14 or more spending 22 billion dollars in sales each year, swimwear manufacturers and designers are creating new designs to satisfy this powerful demographic. In larger department stores, plus size swimwear is available for teen girls in junior miss sizes.
Types
There are five distinct types of bathing suits available for plus-sized women: tankinis, skirted swimwear, shortinis, blouson tops and one-piece swimwear. A tankini substitutes the standard bikini top with a tank top. A skirted swimsuit is a one-piece bathing suit with a piece of fabric attached that resembles a short skirt. Shortinis are the distant cousins of tankinis. Rather than pairing a bikini bottom with a tanked top bathing suit, shorts are worn instead. Blouson topped swimwear have large flowing tops attached to the top of one-piece bathing suits. Swimsuits are constructed from Lycra, nylon and polyester blends. Plus size swimsuit prices range from $29.99 to $200 dollars or more.
Features
When selecting a plus-sized swimsuit there a several illusions and tricks to camouflage problem areas and enhance a woman’s best features. Fabric that is ruched and draped across the tummy can reduce belly bulges. Swimsuits that feature criss-crossed design elements will provide additional body contouring and give the illusion of a smaller waist. Deep v-necks can slim a large frame, while halter tops balance hips and draw the eye upwards. Balance large hips and a small bust with a swimsuit that features a colorful printed top and a dark colored skirt or short for the bottom.
Considerations
The best time to shop for a plus-sized swimsuit is at the beginning of the season. Select swimwear in May or June when styles, colors and designs are new and store inventory is well stocked and plentiful. To find the best swimsuit for your shape and size, avoid trying on a bathing suit after eating a meal or during your menstrual cycle. Color choice is important when selecting a plus-sized swimsuit. Black, blue and dark brown are slimming to the eye. However, women of all sizes can wear bold colors, stripes and patterns if the fit of the swimsuit is flattering to their respective body types.
Prevention/Solution
The perfect plus-sized swimsuit must flatter the wearer, hide problem areas and support an amble bosom. Refrain from selecting suits without support panels in the bust, tummy and rear end. Choose a swimsuit with adequate underwire and cup support for women with large breasts. A bathing suit should retain its shape during swimming, walking and lounging by the pool. Avoid buying any suit in a light fabric that may become too sheer when wet or is too tight or snug around your legs or midsections.
Finding the perfect maternity swimsuit can seem like a daunting task for many women, as there are many factors to consider. One wants a suit which is flattering, comfortable, and exemplifies one’s personal style. Luckily for expectant mothers, the market of maternity swimwear has grown immensely and there are a plethora of stylish yet comfy options available. Whether you prefer a bikini, a one-piece, or something in between, you are sure to find a swimsuit which will make you look and feel great.
Maternity bikinis are very popular, as seen on such celebrities in the past as Nicole Richie and Tori Spelling, and most recently on stylish and expectant mother Alicia Keys. Bikinis are a wonderful option as they do not confine the belly at all, allowing plenty of room for your baby bump to grown. Endless comfort is provided, and the style is right on point. One fashionable and incredibly comfy option is the Black Dot Bikini from well-known maternity designer Prego. This suit is adorable, with a cute polka dot pattern and stylish rectangular ring design at the bust. The adjustable halter top is great, as it allows the top to be fitted to each body individually. With the durability and style that Prego is renowned for, it is a great option for expectant mothers. Another gorgeous bikini comes from Maternal America, an always stylish maternity designer who incorporates the latest trends while still maintaining a timeless style. Their Bandeau Bikini is a stunning option, which combines the hot style of the bandeau bottom with the practicality of a halter top. With bottoms that fit comfortably underneath the belly and a convertible halter tie, the suit is easily molded to your shape. Its gorgeous orange color is sure to make a splash! With style and practical features, a maternity bikini is a beautiful option for the expectant mother.
If a bikini shows a bit too much skin for you, a great alternative is a tankini. It combines the belly coverage of a one piece with the two piece design of a bikini. Tankinis are both trendy and comfy, and many designers specialize in this design. One best seller this season is the Jenni Tankini from Maternal America. In its sizzling fiesta print, it is a showstopper. An adjustable tie halter culminates at the bust with a stylish metal ring, creating a beautiful neckline. Side tie bikini bottoms are adjustable, creating a suit that is very comfortable and equally stylish. Another great tankini option is the Nursing Tankini in Black Floral from Belabumbum. It is perfect for maternity and nursing, ensuring you get a lot of bang for your buck. Discreet nursing access is provided by an empire waist band, which also creates a beautiful silhouette. With adjustable tank straps it is easily fitted to your changing body, and the super soft fabric will ensure your comfort all day! There are a multitude of tankini options, all of which exemplify stylish comfort. From the beach to lounging at the pool in your backyard, there is a choice for everyone.
One piece swimsuits have been revamped over the last few years, with details being added that provide a hint of sexiness while still maintaining the comfort and cover which one pieces provide. A one piece is a great option, as you will never be worried about where your top or bottoms are situated. One gorgeous option is the 1 Piece Keyhole Swimsuit from Maternal America. An adjustable halter tie top provides the ability to fit the suit exactly to your body, while the v-neck line flatteringly elongates the body. At the bust is a circular metal ring which provides a finishing stylish polish to the suit. Available in black, pink, and blue, it is a stunning option for a day at the pool! For expectant mothers who would like a bit more bust support, the Jade Empire Tank from Prego Maternity is both stunningly beautiful and very supportive. Its deep jade color and empire waist design are very flattering. Adjustable straps and a hook back bra provide excellent support, making this an excellent option for swimming. A one piece is both stylish and practical, and the many options available allow plenty of choice for the expectant mother.
Overall, maternity swimwear has numerous options available. Whether you prefer a bikini, tankini, or one piece, you are sure to find something that you like. From solid black to bold floral patterns, options abound. Find a swimsuit in which you feel great and are comfortable, and you are sure to be relaxed.
