BUST: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. If you are looking for a cup sized swimsuit, the cup size should correspond to your bra size. WAIST: Measure around your natural waistline. HIPS: Measure around the fullest part of your lower body including your hips and buttocks. TORSO: Measure from your shoulders down your back, through your legs, and back up to the fullest part of your bust.

Tankini: The classic two piece swimsuit provides coverage like a one piece with the convenience of a two piece. Most of our tankini tops extend down to the top of the hips and accompany a conservative cut brief bottom. Great for covering a belly, while still showing off your legs. SHOP TANKINIS: PLUS SIZE WOMENS Skirtini: Take a tankini and add a skirt! Instead of the traditional brief bottom, choose this option to cover more of your hips, thighs, and upper legs. SHOP SKIRTED: PLUS SIZE WOMENS Shortini: With similar coverage benefits as the skirtini, this tankini with short bottoms will usually cover more of your thighs and upper legs. The short bottom increases comfort and ease when wearing in the pool for lap swimming or water aerobics. SHOP SHORTINI: PLUS SIZE WOMENS

Everyone’s body is different, but we’ve put together some general classes of body types to help you decide what kind of swimsuit would give your body the best look.

Hourglass: If you are curvy overall, have hips and shoulders with similar widths, a full rear and thigh, and slim and shapely lower legs, you should look for swimsuits that will keep the eye busy or accentuate the waist. Look for allover prints, halters, & V-necks. Side details can highlight your curves. SHOP HOURGLASS: PLUS SIZE WOMENS Triangle: If you have more prominent hips, thighs, and rear, and less prominent shoulders and bust with average to large legs, look for swimsuits with a print or light color top and solid, dark bottom. Swimdresses and tankinis with skirts work really well with this body type. SHOP TRIANGLE: PLUS SIZE WOMENS Square: If you have more prominent hips, thighs, and rear, and less prominent shoulders and bust with average to large legs, look for swimsuits with a print or light color top and solid, dark bottom. Swimdresses and tankinis with skirts work really well with this body type. SHOP SQUARE: PLUS SIZE WOMENS

Oval: If your bust, waist, and hips are of a similar size and you can consider your hips as square shaped, your bust as small, and your arms and legs as slim, stick to swimsuits with halters and detailed necklines to draw the eye upwards and look for tummy control lining. One pieces or swimdresses with princess seams and empire waistlines can help slim you down. SHOP OVAL: PLUS SIZE WOMENS Inverted Triangle: If you have a full bust, waist, and upper back with less full hips, a flat rear, pronounced tummy and midriff, and slim arms and legs, swimsuits with an underwire bra or skirted bottoms will really help keep you balanced. A wide, square neck can narrow your shoulders. SHOP INVERTED TRIANGLE: PLUS SIZE WOMENS

Tummy Control Panel: Tummy control usually consists of a close-knit mesh fabric that lines the inside of a swimsuit top and/or bottom to tighten up and shape loose body weight.

Halter: The halter is back! With its retro, sexy look, halters can be found in traditional one pieces, tankinis, and swimdresses. Halter style swimsuits have straps that tie around the neck extending from the front chest. Staying sexy by leaving your back bare, halters add an instant lift and support for your bust.

Princess Seam: Many one piece tank swimsuits and swimdresses are made with this type of seam which slims your torso and vertically shapes and streamlines the curves of your body to make your features look more attractive.

Empire Waist: Many one piece tank swimsuits and swimdresses are sewn with a waist line above the normal waist line usually right below the bust to create the illusion of length and camouflage a bottom-heavy figure or thick waist.

Cross Back: The cross back allows for easy shoulder movement and straps that open wide for easy on and off. Both regular swimmers and water aerobics lovers feel most comfortable in a cross back swimsuit because straps won't slip.

Chlorine Proof: Chlorine proof swimsuits are usually made from heavy Polyester fabric injected with tested chemicals to last 3 times longer than the normal swimsuit in terms of exposure to chlorine. Spending the extra few bucks here can really save you in the long run if you are a regular pool swimmer.  Look for suits that are 100% Polyester.

Chlorine Resistant: Most swimsuits are now made with chlorine resistant fabric that resists fade and deterioration usually caused from exposure to chlorine chemicals. Most swimsuits are not specified as chlorine resistant but really are. Please note that chlorine resistant swimsuits are not as strong as chlorine proof swimsuits. Look for a high Polyester content.

Sheath: A classic one piece swimsuit with a tight drape over the front upper thighs. Great for a little extra thigh coverage.

Sarong Front: Adding the functionality of a sarong without an extra accessory, the sarong front swimsuit is a classic one piece tank swimsuit with an extension of fabric in the lower front of the swimsuit for added belly, thigh and upper leg coverage.

Surplice/Wrap: A surplice or wrap swimsuit is a one piece swimsuit with a fabric drape across the bust area that blends into the midsection of the swimsuit. It helps minimize and hide the stomach while taking a classic look and making it more sophisticated.

Bandeau: A retro classic one piece swimsuit without straps. Many do come with optional straps that fully detach.

Blouson: In order to make a tummy disappear or minimize a large chest, this one piece swimsuit has a loosely fitting tank top that connects at the waist.

Keyhole Back: With straps that extend around the back to clasp at the top of the neck, the keyhole back provides extra support for the upper back and neck and really benefits those regular swimmers.

Side-Shirred, Center-Shirred, & Shirring: When we refer to any of these keywords, we are referring to pleats in the swimsuit fabric that usually flatter or minimize the waist, midriff, or tummy.

Underwire Bra: This classic bra is usually made from shaped metal wiring that lies beneath the breasts to provide the strongest support a swimsuit bra can offer.

Soft Cup Bra: Offering just enough sleek support and coverage, the soft cup bra is the most commonly used bra in swimsuits.

V-neck: V-necks used in swimsuit styling tend to highlight the bust area by drawing attention upward and away from the tummy and waist. A very sly way to be sexy but not revealing!

Jogger: The jogger is a one piece swimsuit with shorts attached (usually made from 100% Nylon). The jogger is great for women who want a conservative look and want to keep their upper thighs and legs covered and comfortable. Works great for women involved in aquatic fitness and water aerobics.

To get the longest possible life out of your swimsuit, it is important to take care of it properly.  Swimwear is made of the same delicate fabrics as lingerie and must be treated gently. What you like most about the suit, the soft silky fabric, it’s vivid color, and the excellent fit provided by the spandex in the suit, are what is most fragile about the garment.

Even if you don’t swim in your swimsuit, you must wash it after every use. Sea water, chlorine, perspiration, and sun blocks are all natural enemies to the fibers of your swimsuit.  They all contain elements that will deteriorate the spandex and dyes in your suit if you don’t remove them every time it’s worn.

 After EVERY use, the garment must be hand washed. Since laundry detergents are too harsh on the spandex and the color, use a mild hand soap made without added moisturizers. Do not wring the suit to remove excess water, lay it flat on a towel and  roll the towel up and squeeze GENTLY.  Remove it from the towel and lay it flat to dry. Do not hang it to dry as that will stretch out the fibers in the fabric.

 It is also important to let your suit “rest” between wearings. This allows the spandex to bounce back (called recovery) to it’s original size and maintain it’s fit longer. If you wear a suit without letting it recover, it will loose it’s shape and fit more quickly.  It’s recommended to let the suit rest for 24-36 hours between wearings.
