Swimwear for Curvy Women

Summertime means beaches and pools. Good thing you have Perfectly Priscilla to find the best swimwear for curvy women!

Plus-Sized Swimsuits to Make You Stand Out

Not sure what type of swimsuit you should buy? The secret is in the cut and coverage of the suit. Below are some types of bathing suits for curvy women that always impress:

• Two-piece swimsuits. If you have not worn a bikini in years, fear not. Two-piece swimsuits can look absolutely stunning on any woman. At Perfectly Priscilla, we seek out two-piece swimsuits that are designed to hug your curves and lay flat against your skin. Consider purchasing two-piece swimsuits that offer a full bra with underwire, an off-the-shoulder style frilly top or a supportive bandeau bikini top. You will want your two-piece swimsuit bottom to completely cover your derriere, ending right where your legs and hips meet. Finding the right two-piece swimsuit gives you tremendous confidence and freedom.
• Tankinis. Like the idea of a two-piece suit but want more fabric around your tummy area? Meet the tankini. While it looks like a one-piece swimsuit from a distance, it actually operates like a two-piece with a long top. Enjoy the flexibility while still covering up your abs. Tankinis come in a range of colorful designs and patterns, including solids. You may also find one-shoulder tops for a flattering asymmetrical appearance.
• One-piece swimsuits. The one-piece is a traditional style of swimsuit. Each of our one-piece bathing suits for curvy women is designed for a completely fresh, modern appeal. Depending upon the cut of this type of swimsuit, you may be able to show more or less neckline. In fact, some Perfectly Priscilla shoppers love to purchase one-piece swimsuits with plunging V-necks to set off their natural curves.

Cover-Up Ideas for Full-Figured Swimsuits

While hanging out poolside or in the sand is fun, sometimes you just need to move around. In that case, you may prefer to have a pretty cover-up.

Cover-ups come in a variety of styles and options. Look for the following characteristics to figure out which cover-up meshes with your mood and personality:

• Length. Cover-ups can fall anywhere from hip-level to below the knee. In general, the longer the cover-up, the more movement it will give when you walk along the surf at low tide or take a stroll along the boardwalk.
• Texture or pattern. Plenty of cover-ups for women are made with see-through mesh designs or lacy patterns. This helps rev up the romantic nature of the piece, while adding a sense of depth and visual interest.
• Color. Why keep all the color to your plus-sized swimwear? Your cover-up can be any color you want. For a totally pulled-together look, opt for a cover-up in a color that meshes well with your tankini, one-piece or two-piece curvy swimsuit.

Partnering Shoes With a Swimsuit

Although wearing shoes in the pool or ocean is unnecessary, you may find yourself walking around while in your favorite swimsuit. Try partnering stylish sandals or strappy wedge heels with your swim time ensemble. If you add a bit of heel, your legs will look even longer!

Every woman deserves a great bathing suit that makes her look and feel amazing. Browse our selection at Perfectly Priscilla today and be ready to take on the beach or the pool!
