'And now for the swimwear section...'

Firstly let me state for the record I am not, 100% without any shadow of a doubt, a fashion expert... but I've had some requests for some some clothes related posts... lads, you're free to sit this one out ...  First up... swimwear ... yup... 

In my opinion... once you know what suits your body shape you're half way there... I can't wear halter neck swimwear... *sobs* and I LOVE the look on other people but I'm in the big boob brigade and it's just not flattering on me... my neck hurts cause the pair of 'em are feckin heavy and I even look miserable... strapless will only work when I'm on the sun bed so I can control any wardrobe malfunctions... I'm also a HUGE fan of the swim dress and skorts... My belly is still massive and I'm more confident when it's VERY covered up thank you very much! 

And it's all about confidence when you're stripping down at the pool and your bits are on show... and they're not even brown yet it's terrifying!!! 

Not everyone can fit into a bikini in Pennys... and the majority of women are different sizes top and bottom ... it's just our Irish bodies... we're mostly pear shaped, which gives us fabulous booty but can make it hard to buy a swimsuit 'off the rack' as they say across the pond... 

Now when I say 'PLUS SIZE' I actually mean 'PLUS SIZE'... size 14 in my opinion isn't plus size! But the majority of these sites do 'normal' grrrrrrrr size too... I won't rant... 

Anyhoo...  I'll start with ASOS CURVE...  

ASOS CURVE is available up to size 28 and at the moment, shipping is free! They also do a range of the bigger retro style 'bottoms' that hold you in and you can buy them separately if you have a bikini top you'd rather wear... Tankinis and full swimsuits are also available and all the bikini tops I looked at are under wired to keep everybody... um... perky! ahem... Check them out >>> HERE <<<

Next up.. NEW LOOK... >>> HERE <<< their 'Inspire' range is pretty good! At the moment, the colours are classic black and red and go up to a size 26 ... and while you're there, check out the Kelly Brook range... She does a range of Longline bikini tops that are really pretty and go up to an E cup... note these are ALL halter neck... *sobs*

Next... Simply Be... >>> HERE <<< now don't roll your eyes and think that it's granny catalogue stuff... in my opinion they're one of the best online! There's a couple of versions where you can mix and match, shorts, sundresses tops and bottoms to suit yourself which is great... The retro style bottoms are fab and suck it all in, they've got a section specifically for 'Shapewear swimwear' and a section on swim dresses but they're not 'Pennys' cheap... but in my opinion, if you want a cozzie that you can relax in and saunter about the pool and not be self conscious then ya gotta invest... 

Yours Clothing UK >>> HERE <<< are great for cheap and snazzy dresses and tops (I know .. snazzy?!?!) and they're togs are really pretty too... with tummy control people!!!  

 

Got cousins in the USA? Doesn't matter...  MACY*S now ships internationally >>> HERE <<<  Search for discount codes online too and you can get up to 20% off your order with a single google...  

Remember you're two sizes smaller in the US ... I KNOW!!! ... but check out the measurements to be really sure! 

Lane Bryant is another US company that does Plus Size swimwear... >>> HERE <<<  and again deliver to Ireland... They also do swim skirts and skorts for the thigh worriers... both patterned and simple black... watch the shipping costs and again finding a discount code online is easy peasy... 

Last up... if you're still reading and haven't abandoned me... is from US company Mod Cloth... cute and quirky cozzies ... they have a real 'retro' rockabilly chick look to them...  check them out  >>> HERE <<<  FYI... I've ordered two dresses from this site and both fitted perfectly.. but again you know your body best so check out the sizes... 

 

These are just a few of my favs from online for holidays... you won't be doing your morning laps in the local pool in these... WAY too pretty... 

For high street... check out Debenhams, they do a section online in DD cupped swimwear, Floozie is a great range up to size 18... Curvey Kate goes up to a 38G... and Gorgeous goes up to a 40G with bottoms up to a size 20...  there's a great selection out there and postie will deliver them without the traumatic trip to the shops! No matter what... enjoy your holidays!!! xxx
