Miami Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2014
As usual, the Miami Mercedes Benz Fashion week swim 2014 mainly targets slim and young girls but from the event, it gives me some trend indication for my next summer Curvysea plus size swimwear collection.
There is a variety of summer swimwear at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim 2014. This time, designs are combined between modern and vintage, from skimpy Brazilian typed bikini to high waisted swimming pants; patterns and colours are also varied between designers: From geometric patterns for one piece swimsuits and two piece bikinis (Cia Maritima collection) to beautiful colour mixed prints of kaftans and two piece from Caffe Swimwear Summer 2014. Aqua Di Lara show included cut-out one piece monokinis and daring bikinis in vertical mixed prints. At Beach Bunny, sheer kaftan and tiny tweeny swim bottoms steal the show. Animal and tribal prints are still shown on different designers’ collections such as in Mara Hoffman’s show (South East Asia tribal) or in Cia Maritima’s design (animal print). Polka dots on two-piece Marilyn Monroe’s styles come back in trend as we can see at Nicolita’s show.

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.

Find Plus Size Swimsuit or Lingerie That Fits and Flatters
According to a recent study, 75% of customers buying clothes on the internet are women. As we all know women are not all built the same, neither should our clothes all be cut the same. For full figured women, we have hourglass figure; rectangle shape; triangle shape; diverted triangle shape…. Finding a plus size swimwear or plus size lingerie especially over internet is a big task.
It is the best if you know your body measurements and body shape. Always look at the swimsuit size chart before you order, every manufacturer or designer has their own sizing measurements.
Size charts can also vary in different countries. They even have different measurement systems. For instance, if you are in countries that use metric system and you want to buy swimsuits online from a country using imperial system, you will have to convert their sizing dimension which is in Inch into Centimetre: say, if the bust is 40’ (inches): 40 x 2.54 = 101.6, it will be 101.6cm; vice versa from countries using metric system if the bust is 101.6 cm and you convert into inches: 101.6 : 2.54 = 40 Inches.
For plus size swimsuits/ swimwear, sizing is not the same among countries.
Size 14 in Australia is generally equal to size 12 (USA), size 14-16 (UK) and size 42 (Europe); so do not rely on the sizing number itself. With plus size lingerie, the sizing is more simple and universal in size 1X to 4 or 5X but there are still different measurements between lingerie brands.
You can not use your dress size for plus size swimsuit size. If your dress size is 14 then your swimsuit size may vary from 16 or 18 (depends on manufacturers). A good rule of thumb is to know your body measurements and compare them to the swimsuit’s size chart on the website that you plan to buy.
Before ordering a plus size swimsuit or plus size lingerie, you should spare some time to read through the product’s description. Usually, online sellers indicate body shape (long, medium or short torso) suitability for the style/design in their descriptions.
Due to health regulation, most of online shops will not accept lingerie return, but with plus size swimwear, make sure you know a website’s return/ refund policy before placing an order.
Last but not least, get recommendation from your friends, family or colleagues who are experienced in purchasing plus size swimwear/ plus size lingerie online.
Find real testimonials from previous customers who were happy enough to post their comments on a website.

Swimwear Summer 2010 Trends
Designs for swimwear tend to come back to the late 70's and early 80's, styles from one-pieces, underwire one or two pieces to studding, metal rings, ruffles. Swimwear trends seem to leave out cutouts, revealing, sexy style, instead, they go back to more glamorous classic styling. Vintage swimwear designs are back with bright colours ruffles, feminine florals and unique one pieces, comfortable but sexy in fashionable cuts, become more popular than they have been in the past. Colours such as reds, greens and blues are main part of the swimwear season.
For lingerie, black lingerie including chemise or babydolls will always be trendy. Red is a perfect colour for lingerie, look for sexy lingerie sets in this color then you'll be right in style! Cobalt colour is a favourite and this coloured lingerie will look great on women in summer time. Lacy lingerie (whole or just lace on the bust) will be fashionable and seductive.

Seven Tips for Keeping Your Swimsuit As New.
Summer is comming and it is the time for outdoor activities and for going to the beach.
Choosing a right swimsuit is not easy but keeping the swimsuit last long is just the matter of loving care
Have you ever wondered why your favourite swimsuit which was discoloured or was snagged after a short time? Here are some explanations together with some good tips for keeping your bathing suit in good conditions:
1- Before wearing a new swimsuit, soak it in a mixture of eight table spoons of white vinegar and one litre of water. Leave it for one hour, then rinse well and let the swimwear drip dry in shade.
2- After swimming in pools, where chemicals (chlorine or other pool cleaning liquids) are used, can bleach or damage the suit fabric, rinse the swimsuit in clear water and store it in a plastic bag if you don't want to wash it straight away.
3- Avoid wearing your new swimsuit in spa or in sauna as the intense heat will cause the elastic to start melting and the fabric to deteriorate quickly. An old swimsuit is recommended for wearing at those places.
4-Hand-wash the swimwear in mild hand wash liquids and NEVER twist or wring it; let it drip dry in shade or lay it flat on a flat on a clean and smooth surface. Do not iron your bathers.
5- Do not bleach
6- At the beach, be careful when you put on sunscreen, suntan, body lotion or oils as they can also discolour or damage the fabric. Excessive amounts of sun tan lotions and oils rubbed into skin, which contacts with the swimwear, can cause the elastic and elastomeric yarn to deteriorate, making it rot and melt.
7- Avoid sitting on rough surfaces such as on rocks or rough concrete because they can snag
swimwear fabric.

Myer's Plus Size Cat Walk
"Plus size models will share the catwalk with glamour girl Jennifer Hawkins when Myer launches its new fashion ranges from this month"
That's great news! I always support models with real curves on catwalk. I have been at many fashion shows and all I have seen were tall, thin models who showed off most of their ribs instead of their boobs or bums. An ideal model's body size should be like Marilyn Monroe's body (Size 14) and should represent the majority of women's bodies in our society.
Curvysea will launch its new season swimwear and lingerie collection for Summer 2009/2010 soon and its theme will be "Beautiful Plus Size". The new ranges will include unique designed one piece swimsuits, two piece tankinis, skirtinis, swimdresses styles beside sexy plus size lingerie, sleepwear for plus size ladies.
