Top Slimming Swimwear Brands for Plus-Sized Women

By , About.com Guide

Even if you've got a good edge on a healthy workout routine and a good attitude when it comes to swimwear, you probably like all the help that you can get. If you are looking for hot swimwear in larger sizes, I share my favorite brands below.

1. Silhouettes' Swim Solutions

Swim Solutions from Silhouettes uses multiple layers to smooth your figure and streamline your bod without wriggling into tight bathing suits. You can also get swimsuits in tankini style that still reduce and trim.

2. Just My Size Trimshaper

Wrap swimsuits and side-shirred selections are engineered to minimize your waistline for an hourglass shape, and many of them have a little extra boost built in to flatter your bustline.

3. Junonia Quikshape

The Quickshape Swimsuit line from Junonia has a Powernet layer that holds you in comfortably. The swimsuit collection looks similar to a tankini and less like a dress, so it's a great compromise for beach bums.

4. Evans London Power Pushup

Well, I made up the Power Pushup name, but when you've got rather serious underwire and two separate cups sizes, that va-va-va-voom bustline will make everything else look much slimmer.

5. Always for Me Tummy Tamers

These swimsuit collections from Always for Me have been planned to trick the eye with cool color schemes, side shirring, diagonal inserts, and princess seaming.
