Personally, I think Miraclesuit makes the best swimsuits for women, and this plus size swimsuit is one of the best. Available in two colors including this gorgeous “delphine” blue and black, this one-piece features Miraclesuit’s signature tummy control fabric for a slimming look. They actually boast that you’ll look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds®. We love that!

Designed with a dramatic v-neckline that accentuates the bust and enhances your natural figure, this gorgeous swimsuit also features underwire cups for additional support. And, while this is a more expensive option, it’s seriously worth it.

Available sizes: 16 Plus to 24 Plus; please refer to the size chart available online for your perfect fit before purchasing.

Special note from Miraclesuit: After each use, hand wash your Miraclesuit in cool, clear water and hang to dry. Do not use chlorine bleach. Do not iron or tumble dry. Following these instructions will help extend the lifespan of your swimsuit so you can enjoy it even longer

Doesn’t this elegant coral plus size swimdress remind you of 1940s Hollywood? I can picture some starlet (or you) lounging by the pool, martini in hand. This sexy, solid swimdress, in an absolute tan show-off color, features side shirring that is universally flattering on every body shape.

The sweetheart neckline is accented by a dramatic twist at the bustline. Sewn-in cups give you the support you need. I also like the fact that this swimsuit offers detachable straps, so you can wear it in bandeau style or attach the straps for more strenuous water sports that could have a tendency to reveal something you hadn’t planned to show.

Plus, at the price, it’s a great buy for high-quality summer swimwear. It’s also available in over a dozen colors and patterns, so you’re sure to find something you like. 

Available sizes: 12 Plus to 26 Plus; please refer to the size chart available online for your perfect fit before purchasing.

High waisted bikinis continue to be hot, hot, hot, and this plus size bikini from Wavely puts it all together with a bright tropical print in your favorite summer hues. The bikini bottom features ruched side seams that add detail and the shirred front provides added tummy control for a slim silhouette. 

The bikini top is the standout here, however, with a sweet off the shoulder ruffle that leaves just a tantalizing bit of your midriff showing. The soft padded bra adds just enough support, and prevents your headlights from showing. Spaghetti straps complete the picture and, if you’re looking for more bare shoulders or want to avoid tan lines, they’re detachable. 

Available sizes: 12-14 – 20 Plus; please refer to the size chart available online for your perfect fit before purchasing.

What happens when you take the best attributes of sexy lingerie and infuse them into a plus-size bikini? You get a strappy, sassy bikini top that looks as good as any bra you’ve ever had. As with many plus size swimsuits these days, the top is purchased separately from the bottom to allow you to get a more customized fit.

This bikini top supports your ample bust with set-in cups and the adjustable cross-back straps allow you to give the girls perfect lift. Another cross strap cutie from Coastal Blue features a color block front with adjustable front shirring and a cute drawstring tie. Both of these tops come in sizes up to 3XL (24W-26W).

Pair either of these bikini tops with a cute pair of solid-colored bottoms. The Coastal Blue High Waist Cut-Out Sides Bikini Bottom is super sexy, as is the Twist Front High Waist Bikini Bottom.
