Changing Trends in Model Industry for Plus Size Women

For years, the body image perception in the fashion industry is never changed, despite having stick thin and skeletonized bodies, female models are considered idols for many young girls and they literally starved themselves to achieve the goal of being skinny.

Some years ago, we hardly saw models on run ways or fashion shows whose size were more than size 6; but then designers started to realise that there was a big demand in fashion markets for plus size women and it was a huge opportunity for them to cater this demographic market; and of course, they have had to choose curvy models to show case their designs.

In Australia, Robyn Lawley who has become a pioneer in plus size modelling, the 25 years old, six foot tall and size 16 model also is the first full figured model to appear on the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition.

Recently, Tess Holiday (based in the USA) a rising plus size model star and who got female audience cheering and applauding when she was walking on stage. She‘s proven that modelling is not only for size 0 but also for plus size figures: the size of at least 50% of women in the society.

Jessica Gomes and Criticism about The Model.

It is hard to become a popular model but it's even harder to accept non sense criticism from some people in the fashion industry. Jessica Gomes is not an exception,the beautiful bombshell Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who has been admired by all over the world men for her curves. She is the new David Jones ambassador for their new season spring/summer 2013 fashion launch; at the catwalk show, there were some criticisms among the guests about her stretchmarks as well as her curves. It's really ridiculous that the critics think Jessica is an over weight models! Off course if compare her with stick thin models, she has more flesh and curves than them, and people who were invited to most of fashion catwalks getting used to see itsy bitsy models. It's why they made bad remarks when they saw her. In my view, she has a perfect body with perfect curves that make her stand out of the model crowd. "When you're young, you want to fit in, you want to be accepted and you're still trying to find yourself and what type of person you are. Now I just feel really comfortable in my own skin and really at the end of the day, I've found a balance with my life that if all was to go away, I'd still be a really happy person." Jessica said and I totally agree with her. No matter what shape or size you are, be happy in your own skin and remember one thing: you can never please everyone so just please yourself

Plus Size Swimwear: Flattering One Piece Swimwear for Real Women


According to a recent survey for plus size swimwear, the majority of plus size women prefer one piece swimwear to two piece swimwear. What is the reason for a plus size woman choosing the one piece? Mary, mother of three, said: “With one piece swimsuit, I feel more secure as I have a large tummy and the suit flatters it by tucking it in”

Claudia, 45 years old, likes one piece because she is tall and she has a large and long body “It’s impossible for me to choose two-piece bathers because of my long torso, most of them don’t even reach my belly button I do not want the risk of exposing my tummy budges while wearing them”

That’s why one piece is the best choice for plus size women. One piece plus size swimwear can come in different designs: simple and practical swimsuits; fashionable one piece or swimdresses; fashionable plus size swimsuits in one piece can have a V-shape neckline, bandeau or halter neckline with large straps to support a big bust.

Plus size swimdress has become quite popular for full figured women since the last few years. A flattering swimdress, which has empire waist, would help cover your big hips and thighs; or if you have no waist curve, a swimdress with flowing skirt would camouflage your waist, taking the main emphasis off your waistline and would make you look flatter and more attractive.

Solid colours or prints on plus size swimwear will depend on your shape and skin. There are some colours that plus size women can wear such as dark purple; red; emerald green; turquoise; navy. For the prints, stay away from bold prints on area/s that you do not want to attract the eye, say, if you have large hips or tummy, you would not want to wear a swimsuit with bold pattern/ bold flowers prints on the lower part of the swimsuit, instead, the big prints should be on the top part where you want to accentuate.

Armed with the above knowledge, you will not go wrong in finding a flattering plus size swimwear which would help you look more attractive and therefore you would gain more confidence at the beach or on your holidays.

Plus Size Swimwear Styles for Plus Size Women’s Shapes



Pear shape: You have larger hips & thighs than your bust and shoulders. Choose two piece plus size swimwear (Bright print on bust top and dark coloured bottom) or empire waist swimdress.

Heart shape:  Your bust and shoulders are larger than your hips and thighs.  Swimdress or skirtini would do the trick because it will hide the uneven body proportion.

Hour Glass shape: You have a curvy body. Your shoulders, bust and hips, thighs are similar in size except your waist. Tankinis with halter neck and dark coloured brief will help minimize your shape.

Boy shape:  with no waist and flat rear, broad shoulder.  Plus size swimwear in two piece (skirtinis) with halter neck will create curve and make you look more feminine.

Womens Swimwear - Plus Size Swimsuits Trends for This Summer

Women’s swimwear trends for plus size women this year hence more coverage which is good news for full figured ladies who do not have trim bodies like catwalk models but still like to look good at the beach.

There are also more beautiful swimwear designs and fabric choices for real women who wish to show off their best curves as well as minimizing their body flaws in style.

Thanks to the revolution of the internet now real women can buy swimsuits online and try them on at their own home, at their own pace instead of facing queuing up for public fitting room in a crowded store.

Shirring is a popular trend this season for clothing including swimwear. Swimsuit design with shirring is an excellent choice for real women as it will make them look fashionable whilst giving them comfort and perfectly hiding bulges. The swimsuits can have ruching underarms or under bust as well as on both sides of the suit.

The key swimwear design for the season is beach culture. The prints and colour trends are from tropical floral landscapes to exotic destinations. The colour pallette works around blues, turquoise, crimson, pink, lime and black. Metallic trim around the prints is also a key trend. Popular cuts include twisted bandeau, ruched ribbons or key holes.

Style trends:

One Piece Swimwear:
Many plus size women especially whose body is hour glass shape prefer this style as it show off their curves. Look for plus size swimsuits with adequate support, built-in bra and if you have a nice bust, you should choose swimwear with plunging neckline and key holes which will accentuate your curve.

Swimdresses:
It is more modest than other types of swimwear; women in plus sizes will look stylish and flattering in swimdresses; they provide extra coverage over tummy, hip and thigh areas. These areas are problems for many large size women and the one piece swimsuit style is excellent for covering them. Shirring swimdress is definitely a popular trend for plus sizes.

Two Piece swimsuits:
Tankinis:
Some women do not like one piece swimsuits as they are sometime difficult to put on or take off. Tankinis are two-piece separate swimwear usually includes a camisole top and a pair of swim pants. The trend for this season is deep V neck or twisted bandeau. As a plus size, you should choose the swim top which is long enough to cover your tummy and the swim pants with medium leg cut.

Skirtinis:
They are two-piece swimwear, like tankinis, but instead of having regular swimming pants for bottom; skirtinis have short length skirts with attached panties. Full figured women who like looking young and flattering would love skirtinis. The swimsuits provide comfort and they will boost your confidence as you will have more coverage on your tummy and thighs. As a plus size woman, you will look great in skirtinis because they will accentuate your curves whilst camouflage flaws.

Skirtini swimsuits have become more and more popular for plus size women and the trend for this style’s top is twisted bandeau or sweetheart V neck with empire waist or shirring under bust.

After a long cold winter, working hard for your family; it is the time for you to enjoy outdoor, imagine you are at your girl friends pool parties or on a Hawaii beach wearing your beautiful swimsuit with pride! Updating your swimwear wardrobe is the most deserved thing you should do for your self.
