Purchasing a swimsuit online isn’t the simplest task. Especially when you are plus size. There are so many components that go into buying a swimsuit which makes it a more complicated to purchase sight unseen. This post will help you find the perfect plus size swimsuits.
The very first thing I would tell you is, if you can, visit a store that carries plus size suits. Locally The Bra Genie is your best source for plus size suits. Target also carries plus size suits in the store although the selection is small.

Finding the right Plus Size Swimsuits…
First, check the size chart and use your measuring tape. There is no way to insure a proper fit if you aren’t following their measurement guidelines the shop provided online.
Second, read the reviews. I cannot stress this enough. People who take the time to write a review are usually extremely happy or extremely unhappy with a product and those are the reviews that you want to see.
Third, know the return policy. Yes, you may have shopped with this retailer before online but there are times when the swim return policy is different than their regular clothing. Make sure you know what is required of a return so you do not get stuck with a suit you can’t wear.
I rounded up, reviewed, and gave you notes on all of my favorite plus size swimsuit styles and brands to make shopping a little more simple for you. Plus I included a whish list so you know what I am looking at this season.

Modcloth



I purchased this suit from The Bra Genie but the brand is Modcloth. This was the first swimsuit I had spent more than $40 on in a long time and I was very pleased with the quality. This suit lasted me all summer and will still work this summer too.
Why do I like it? I love that there was support across the back to keep my breasts in place and it isn’t too low cut. I love the cut out which makes the suit feel sassy.
My Picks…
Target



This suit is also from last year and they repeated the size and style this year. This is one of my favorite suits, but I may be partial since it got me featured on the Target Website for several weeks. Target has done better and better each year with their plus size suits. For the price point you can’t beat it!
Why do I like it? The top is great with the double hook and keeps everything secure. I also really love the cheeky bottom!
**Note** I find that some of the Target suits are short in the torso. I typically move up one size because there is nothing more uncomfortable that an swimsuit that it too small.
My Picks
Eloquii
I have not purchased a suit from Eloquii yet, but I have a lot of their clothing and I love how well it is made. There are several plus size bloggers that I really love that wear their suits, so I am comfortable recommending them. Eloquii is really attentive to details when it comes to plus size clothing.
My Picks
Chic Soul



Always a favorite for clothing and swim. This suit from last year is still available on their site but there are so many new cute ones to choose from!
My Picks
Black One Piece // Pink One Piece // Teal One Piece
Show Me Your Mumu
Another brand that I have not tried in the swim, but I have worn their regular line and I trust their clothing.
My Picks
Walmart



Walmart has been great about bringing new and better brands to their online store over the last year. I have been a fan of their Time and Tru suits and I added a few more I love this year.
My Picks.
Plus size suits have come a long way in the last few years. It makes me happy to see that we have moved past plus size women only being able to get black swimwear. Looking forward to trying and reviewing more suits for you this summer.
