A swim suit for every body – Summer 2011
Women’s Plus Back-Strap Halter Swimsuit, $44.50 at Old Navy; Xhilaration® Juniors Stripe/Floral Tankini Swim Top, $14.00 at Target; Blue and Red Tribal Underwire One Piece Swimsuit, $68.00 at Torrid.
When you’ve got junk in the trunk, coverage is key. Try a pair of boy shorts that completely cover your cheeks. Two-piece suits with a bright top/darker bottom combo draw attention away from your rump and balance out your figure.
Bottoms with ruffles or belts add width to your bottom half, so it’s better to keep all frills on top.
Women’s Plus-Size Merona® Black Swim Shorts, $22.99 at Target; Women’s Mix & Match Boyshort Bottoms, $17.50 at Old Navy, with Women’s Mix & Match Knotted Halter Bikini Tops, $15.50 at Old Navy; Shine On Halter Boytini w/ Tummy Control, $64.90 at Avenue
Try a tummy-control one-piece to minimize your middle. If you’re a two-piece kinda gal, opt for a tankini with more coverage and enough wiggle room at the hips to be fun and flirty.
Teeny bikinis expose your midriff, which can make you feel self-conscious, but that doesn’t mean you have to hide your figure. Experiment with prints and patterns to add oomph to your suit and camouflage your waist area.
Cross Back Tankini w/ Tummy Control, $49.90 at Avenue; Meadow Breeze Tankini w/ Tummy Control, $49.99 at Avenue; Women’s Plus Leopard-Print Halter Swimsuits, $49.50 at Old Navy

Best bathing suits for big boobs
What to look for:
Support and comfort are essential for big-chested ladies. Look for halter-tops and tankinis to hold the twins in place. One-piece suits with shelf bras or wider straps are also great choices.
What to avoid:
Stay away from bikini tops with little coverage and strapless bandeau tops to avoid potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.
