Flattering Bathing Suits

Newsflash: not everyone is a size zero.. or a size 2 or 6 or 8. In fact the most common size in taller girls is around 14! Some girls have flat bellies and some don't. Some girls are curvaceous and others are as straight as boards. Here are some flattering bathing suits for the more curvy, upper-sized fashionistas:

1. To hide thighs and stomach, you can opt for a Swimdress!
Example: White Piped Swimdressw/ Waist Control, $59.99 from avenue.com (for sizes 14-32!) I think it's pretty sad that girls size 14 are considered plus size. We should have sizes 00-2 be called undersized. Just kidding :P

2. Tankini with a skirt is very cute! Don't feel pressured into wearing a bikini if you don't feel comfortable in one. Example: Midnight Metallic Print Skirtini w/ Tummy Control, $79.99 from avenue.com. This tankini is a super cute metallic floral bathing suit in a flattering, darker color than bright orange and pink!
Example 2: Safari Swim Tank, $44.99 from avenue.com.
Example 3: Beadwork Two Piece Halter Skirtini Swimsuit by Liz Clairborne for $95.00. This tankini is black.

Agh! More cute swim suits, cuter than the other ones!

Not everyone is this skinny... which looks a little weird anyway.
Don't worry: you do not have to look like Kim Possible to look cute in a bathing suit! I've seen not so skinny people in bikinis... be confident in what you are wearing!
Hooray for the invention of the tankini!
