Plus size bikini.. yay or nay?? :)

Sarah Bear

Hi guys just wondering what you think about bikinis on larger ladies.. im a size 14-16 on bottom half and 36f on top.. i have slim legs.. im just wondering would a bikini look awful on me?? ive lost a lot of weight lately (4 stone) so this is the first year ive even contemplated wearing a bikin!! but should i leave it to the slim girls and stick to my one piece/tankini??
BE BRUTALLY HONEST

It's hard to judge what you would look like in a bikini as I've never met you. But I say if you feel comfy then go for it! Perhaps bring a one piece cossie in case you have a sudden change of heart.

Congrats on the weight loss and if you're dying to wear a bikini then I say wear one.

As a man I will give you my honest opinion.
If you feel comfortable in a bikini then go for it. There is nothing more sexier than a woman is comfortable in her own skin. Fair enough some women and men go a bit vain about it all but honestly, if that's what you wanna wear then wear it. :-) thing I always noticed about people who lose weight is they lose it but still have a mental stigma towards wearing what they want. If ya know what I mean.
If I was you I would wear the bikini and do the fecking river dance in front of people outta happiness of losing the weight.
Whatever you do I honestly hope you enjoy yourself.

I disagree. The OP looking at herself wearing a bikini on a wet dreary day in May in Ireland is not going to instil herself with any confidence in herself.

OP, contrary to what you might think men love curvy women. You recently lost 4 stone so you are not fat any more, you are now curvy, and a lot of women would love to have what you have now.

If the choice is between full body swimsuit and bikini I say bikini every time for 2 reasons. The first being, a fullbody swimsuit, shows off the same amount of your dimensions as a bikini does. Where as a bikini shows off more skin, which is what us guys like to see. Thats why bikinis are considered sexy because they show off more. There was a song a few years ago caled the "Itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini". No-one ever wrote a song about a one-piece swimsuit.

When you go to get it, make sure you get one with an underwire. Those 36Fs will need some support but should look awesome!

I think, if you have the confidence for it, then go for it! You'll probably look a million times better than more people wearing them! A size 14-16 is a perfect size to wear one and show off the curves!

You could always buy a bikini bottoms and a selection of tops to go with it, most places sell them as two seperate items and there is usually an ok selection of tops and bottoms (depending on where you go) so you could mix and match. If you were having a not so slim day you could wear a tankini top and if you are feeling slinky you could wear the bikini top.

You're not going to look like a swim suit model but then most people don't look great in swim wear. It shows off everything. Fatter people than you wear bikinis. If you are happy then go for it. A holiday is a time to relax and not to be worrying about anything.

OP, you are NOT plus size! (Congratulations on losing all that weight btw!)

I'd say by those measurements you'd look great in any swimsuit as long as it has some good boob support

Defo go for it. You could pick up some cute sarongs or a wrap skirt to throw on over it if you are feeling self conscious walking around.

Wear it, definitely.

It's cliché, but how good you look really is dependent on how confident you are.

Go for it OP! Show off all your hard work!

Sarah Bear

oh you guys!! haha i think i will deffo wear it!!

carolinespring

Wear it with pride. Just pick a well fitting on with a underwire top and maybe a 50's style shorts bottom. You will look fantastic.

For the record you are FAR from plus sized.

have a fantastic holiday.

Believe it or not, not all women dress just to please men.

Go for it:D

I've lost 5 stone, I have some loose skin on my tummy, I have stretch marks after having my son and I couldn't give a flying swear word:D I'm a curvy 12 and I love the fact that I have a defined waist, full hips, full bum and a half decent bust. I had lost more weight, I dropped down to a size 8 and on me, it was just awful, no curves, didn't suit me.

Wear your bikini and enjoy every minute of your holiday:D

Wear it! The only accessory you need is confidence

ladypip

Wear it and fair play to you on our weight loss you must feel great!!!

newbee22

Wear it! Well done on the weight loss!

Go for it! You are not plus size and you sound as if you have great curves so show them off. Good posture, confidence and a little swagger and you'll be fab.

I have big boobs too - look great in a bikini top but one word of advice - go for a top with support. I find my boobs too heavy for halter neck tops and end up with a red ridge around my neck, while strapless ones leave me a bit droopy therefore shortening my waist. Tesco are great for underwired bikini tops that offer support & can be bought by cup size & clothes size around the back.

Happy holidaying!
