Plus Size Girls Swimsuits?

Elenore

My daughter is 13 and plus size, weighs 129 pounds. We've looked everywhere but we can't find swimsuits that fit our criteria. We want only tankinis, with ruffles on the stomach because she hasn't lost her baby belly fat. She's a plus size 16 1/2 in most suits. We have checked Justice, but she doesnt like any of them. :( Can anyone help us find some suits for spring break online or in stores? Thank you so much.

Answer
You did not mention her bust size but this plus size swimsuit from AlwaysForMe.com is really cute and may work with some modifications to the bust.

Plus Size Swimsuit??

Mom of One

Where can I find one that doesn't cost $50?? Gosh they are expensive! I mainly want one to use in the tub with my daughter (she's 18 months and not too keen about the big tub) and maybe once or twice to the beach this summer. I don't want anything high cut either....something one peice and very basic.

Answer
Check Wal-Mart. They have a pretty decent selection for us "normal sized" women ;) Also, Kohl's has a great selection. Regular priced they're pretty spendy, but they're on sale pretty often. Good Luck!

Swimsuit sizing question?

Cass

I'm trying to buy a swimsuit and Im confused about the sizings. So I
Basically I can wear a xs-s in t shirts and tanktops. In dresses, between small and medium, and my waist size is 25, but I can wear 26. I'm lanky so yeah. (Sigh) so anyway I'm shopping on amazon, what do you think size should I get? http://www.amazon.com/Speedo-Womens-Lycra-Superpro-Swimsuit/dp/B000YM6FLW/ref=sr_1_24?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1370560463&sr=1-24&keywords=one+piece+swimsuit
I'm a girl btw

Answer
So great suit choice fist of all - I am guessing you are into/getting into fitness swimming??

My concern fo you is that speedo tends to be "true sized" that is to say that if you have a 25'' waist - you should get a size - 25.

Plus you description that you wear extra small sized tops and are, "lanky" leads me to believe that you have a tall slender figure - with, ehem..... not much on top??

If that's the case - the suit you have posted may be too big for you to swim laps in.

Instead may I suggest - http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/3181.htm?color=9325.
- This suit is in the same blue color as the speedo you post.
- Same price.
But i has a size 24 available! Which would fit you better.
Notice the model is built pretty lanky as well. And, I think the back, bottom portion of the suit hugs closer to her body than the one you have posted - that's important because if your thin, and that portion of the suit is too loose......... You could run into some "slipping" problems were you to dive in this suit - or swim fast/fliptuns/pushing off walls etc.....

If you are lanky and really tall I would suggest something more like;
http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/41831.htm?color=212
- Same color.
- Only slightly more expensive.
The smaller back and higher hips allow for a taller girl.
Just beware there's much less material at the back.

Tankini or One-Piece Swimsuit for Plus-Sized?

Kendra

So I'm finally on summer break. Yesterday, I was invited by a friend to her 16th birthday party next week. I planned on going but I'm in need of a new swimsuit and I'm going shopping this weekend.
I'm not entirely sure which type to choose though. I am a bigger girl, although I'm not huge. I am on the plus side though when it comes to shopping for clothes.
I have worn one pieces my whole life but I am growing tired of them. They are hard to get off when they're wet and sometimes hard to get on. I've never been able to find a one piece that exactly flatters my figure nor support my breasts. If anything, it flattens out my breasts.
I am considering buying a tankini this year because it seems to flatter the figure of a larger woman more but still with the coverage of a one piece. But I'm not sure how much better a tankini would be compared to just a one piece.
If I do get a tankini, I'm also curious and what type of bottoms I should get because I'm self conscious about my thighs. I've seen some that are like shorts, but not many.
If you wear either, why do you prefer that one rather than others? Can you give me some cons and pros of both? This will really help me decide what to get when I get to shopping for a swimsuit.

Look, I'm not going to give you a list of what swimwear suits your figure or what doesn't. However, I will tell you that I've been in your shoes. I hate my thighs, my body, my stomach. I've questioned myself and even my former bf on swimsuits that I felt were too pretty & flashy for my size. After comparing myself to girls in magazines & absorbing my bf's criticism I learned this..

Soceity has a fucked up view on "beauty". Honestly, the world could tell you that a one piece is better but at the end of the day if you want a Tankini, then you better get a Tankini and where that Tankini like a diva! I have seen women of all sizes wearing swimsuits of all sizes at the pool / beach. I've seen plus sized women in bikini's and skinny girls in one-pieces. It doesn't matter. I don't think they'd make something in your size if it wasn't meant for you to wear. How about you try on a few swimsuits, pick a cute one that you like & buy it. You said it yourself, you're growing tired of the "usual" so switch it up. You're young, I wish I had more confidence when I was your age. At 17 I remember wearing jeans to the beach.

Whatever you choose to wear, you'll be fine. But don't ever feel insecure! rock your swimwear girl. Good luck!

Oftentimes lingerie chains that specialize in lingerie for larger sizes also carry swimsuits! I am a size 12, and a 32J bra size, and I get all my swimsuits at Change Lingerie :)
