Can anyone say HOT !!

For anyone who is not in Australia reading this...

it is just a little hot here today...

Sydney CBD reached a balmy 45.8c today (that is 114.4f) 

The hottest day on record and it was and still is freaking nasty. It has cooled a tiny bit when is rained a little but not much so now it is hot and even more humid. it is meant to get a lot better tonight at some point

Luckily for me, i have air conditioning at home so it is much nicer inside now i have finished work

Anyway.. i decided since it is so damn hot down here i would post some of my favourite swimwear, swimwear that suits my shape so would be great for curvy and/or plus size girls (or anyone loving a retro look)

my current swimsuit is absolutely gorgeous and i totally love them.

It is the Stunning Marilyn Swimsuit from Pin Up Girl Clothing in Red

I adore it. i have the 2xl and it fits me perfectly. The material is lovely and it has a luxurious heavy feeling to it. It is very well lined with powermesh and pulls in to create a great shape. The gathering in the material also helps skim over those little lumps and bumps you would prefer to hide.

It starts at an XS and goes to a 2XL.

 I always feel like i should be relaxing on the side of a pool with a cocktail. 

It is available in Black, Pink, Red, Green, Royal Blue and Leopard Print. 

It also comes with two of these gorgeous little rhinestone brooches to add that touch of sparkle

I have no full body images of me in it but this was taken at christmas this year when i was on my way to the beach

My previous suit was the lovely Bettie Swimsuit in Black Cherry

It fits wonderfully well and is a halter neck which can be very flattering for a bigger bust. it comes in so many colour and print variations, ready for them, here i go:

Other than the Black Cherry, it is also available in

Hello Sailor
Nautical Navy Blue
Black Polka Dot
Red Polka Dot


Definitely worth a look if you like a halter style. The sizing goes from a XS to 2XL.

If i was brave enough to bare my tummy.....

The new swim wear range by Curvy Kate would be it

If i was going to wear a bikini it would be one of these. They have a wonderful shape and go up to a 20 in the bottoms and most of the tops go to a K cup !! 

There is also wide choice to pick from with Padded bikini tops with support, tankini, halters, briefs, boy-leg shorts, there are just so so many options..... 

Do you have a favourite plus sized swimwear you swear by??
