Here at Curvy Swimwear we champion body positivity and self love. These concepts can mean something different to everyone, so rather than saying “wear that bikini and love yourself”, we want you to wear what feels right for you.

Self confidence and body positivity doesn’t discriminate, just as negative self talk and low self image can effect anyone. You can be any size or shape and have a complex relationship with your body and how you want to present yourself in the world.

Covering up doesn’t always mean that you hate that part of your body. You might just prefer to highlight the areas you really love to maximise your confidence and comfort when heading out. So too, exposing more skin doesn’t automatically mean that you’re firing on optimal body positivity.

We’re here for curvy bodies and we know from our interactions with our customers that there are areas of the body that can feel challenging to dress. Knowing whether to show them off or to hide them away is confusing. To help you choose a swimsuit that feels right for you, we’ve compiled a list of the most common areas that you might need help with and offer you different ways to dress them. Celebrate or conceal, it’s up to you.

• Big Bust
• Round Tummy
• Full Booty
• Curvy Thighs
• Generous Arms

Big Bust

Our number one customer concern is fitting a larger bust. We strive to fit and support a wide range of cup sizes offering different ways to lift, highlight, or minimise a bigger bust. While the best way to “flatter” a large bust is to lift it with an underwire and minimise it with a V neck, some women prefer to keep their girls under wraps and others want to show off as much as possible. There is no wrong way to dress a large bust, just choices.

Celebrate

V Neck

A V neckline is an ideal option for a larger bust. A V neck can minimise a bigger bust by visually halving it. Showing a little cleavage and covering the rest of the bust gives the illusion that it is smaller. A V neck is also a great way to show off your assets whether it’s in a shallow V neckline or deep plunge.

Underwire

An underwire swimsuit will lift and support a larger bust. Underwire styles tend to feature a soft V neck to show off the bust in the best possible way. Not only does an underwire help to highlight the bust, it allows you to show off your waistline. Lifting the bust away from your midsection, shows off your waist and accentuates your curves.

Triangle

The classic triangle bikini is a sexy little swim option that lets you show a little skin. Choose how much you want to show off by selecting the right size for you. Our triangle bikini tops feature fully adjustable neck and back ties, so simply choose your size based on how much skin you want to show. If all you want is to cover your nipples, go for a smaller size than you would usually wear.

Zip front

A zip front swimsuit gives you the option to show a little or a lot. Just like a V neck a zip front swimsuit worn with the zip lowered will flatter a larger bust and show off your fabulous cleavage. You can opt for a small V neck or take it all the way down for a dramatic plunge style.
