    SHOP: Plus-Size Shopping Guide
    Which trends translate into flattering plus size swimwear and why it works for you:

    Hollywood Glam- Ruching

    One-piece swimsuit with strategic fabric placement

    Ruching? This is when a garment gathers around your curves- often seen in the midsection or the hips. This strategic method camouflages and minimizes the areas we deem troubled. Often seen on the retro swimsuits, highlighting an hourglass frame, ruching whether used in a one or two-piece will accentuate the positive and camouflage the rest.

    Sophisticated Chic- One Shoulder

    Through the summer, spring, and fall of last year, the one-shoulder trend is staid for summer 2010. For those with a smaller bust, who exude confidence with their fabulous arms and toned shoulders, this trend is for you.
    Decadently Sweet- Ruffles Galore

    Following Spring’s lace and feminine trend,ruffles have found its way into swimwear. With careful placement, femininity exudes from you! The benefit of ruffles? They can hide, maximize, or minimize your curves!
    In any swimsuit, as a plus size woman, pay attention to these:

    • Underwire: Just like with any good bra, support is key. Thick spaghetti straps, halter-tops, and molded cups give the girls the lift and support need.
    • Color blocking: To minimize a certain part of your body, opt for darker backgrounds contrasted with bold colors or prints. Where you choose your color is where you want todraw attention to while the darker tone draws attention away.
    • Panels: Look for swimsuits that offer reinforcement in key areas you want to camouflage. These panels reinforce a specific section of your body you wish to minimize.
    • Prints: And they say a curvy woman should not wear prints! Smartly placed, you have a fun and playful suit! Smaller prints minimize while larger prints maximize areas!
