any company outside of the US. I believe we really should buy from our own companies BUT I have the hardest time finding bathing suits for myself OR bras. When I was younger and only a "DD" cup I could still find suits when we would vacation in Florida at the beach shops. But now that I am 30 and after two kids I am a "G" it about lingerieis nearly impossible to find something appropriate in my size. I can't run around in a skimpy little bathing suit because I would just plain embarass myself and of course my kids. When it comes to bras it seems like companies give up on you after you pass the "D" size. Like you are required to wear granny bras and forget about lingerie.
So when I discovered Curvy Kate during my most recent internet search, I was not about to pass them up even though they are based in the UK. They ACTUALLY make sexy under garments that come in up to size "K". Their swimsuits are super cute AND appropriate for the curvier girls like myself. I was lucky enough to get a swim suit from Curvy Kate to review. You would have thought I was picking out a car, it took me forever to choose between all the styles. Then, because I was so excited I actually bought a bra as well from them to try out as well.
I immediately tried on the top of the bathing suit to find (YES!) it actually fit. My tatas were appropriately supported, not hanging out or drooping down to my belly button. I didn't have a uniboob or four because of extra cleavage...needless to say I was thrilled. The bottoms did fit a little tight as compared to the way the size usually fits me. I'd rather this though than too big of course since I'd like to think it will motivate me to lose a little bit of weight.
*I also tried on the bra right away which I was thrilled with too. For once I was able to wear a bra confidently and feel sexy at the same time.
Cost: $?? Rio Ruffle Jade/Purple
Available to purchase: Online Retailers
Recommendation: I would recommend this company to any of you curvy women out there whether your a big girl or just plain busty. They will forever have a customer in me! I will not be buying from another similar company any time soon because of how wonderful they have been, their selection, and prices. Beyond even all these great qualities, their models look like like real women and are not twigs!

i like the lottie black/pink bra
ReplyDeleteI love Tease Me Ivory Pink and Rio Ruffle Jade/Purple. I guess I can only make my mind when I won lol. I DESPERATELY want a bra/bikini that fits because in Malaysia, the smallest band size I can find is 32 which is too big for my tiny frame :/
