    Black milk is cool but just FYI my friend who is a size 10 wears a size L in their swimmers and she is by no means a big girl.

    Modcloth have cool retro style swimmers in plus size

    The thing with Zodee and those online stores is you can buy a few styles and try them on at home - with your own mirror etc. But often if you can find a awesome person in store to help, they know the stock, and what might be right.

    See im short and stout and boy leg do nada for me and tankinis shirt me to tears when they float up! I got a v neck with 2 straps( no halter! Yay!) and rouching on the tummy and it's a style I would never have gone with before but my gf made me try it on! Bikini line isn't too high or too granny! Definitely need to try them on IMO but then maybe I'm a weird size or something!

    ZF, did you end up buying some?

    I need to buy some bathers. I think i want a tankini and boy leg shorts (i think my shorts will still fit). I have a large tummy seperation and still wear a support wrap full time. I need a non-tummy hugging top, maybe something bit more structured? Or i will just get a large rashy and wear it over a bathers top.

    HotI, I got a swimdress from sequinsandsand and it's really good. they have some really nice tanktinis too and you can buy the tops separate to the pants so you can choose which pant option you want.

    I really like it. it is still a full one piece swimsuit, but it has the dress sewn over the top of it, so it kinda looks like a really short baby-doll type dress. It hides all the unflattering parts and also covers the tops of your thighs as well.
