Plus Size Sarong Style Swim Suit

A plus size sarong-style swim suit is an ideal addition to a summer wardrobe. The design is very flattering on women of different body types. Sarong style and beachwear go hand-in-hand.

Sarong inspired plus size swimwear

A sarong is a long piece of fabric that can be worn around the waist. The material can be used as plus size coverups or it can be worn as a skirt. Lengths vary, allowing for a number of different hemlines. Designs traditionally consist of bright colors and bold patterns, but many designers opt for subtle options as well.

Women who love the sarong look may want to consider a plus size sarong-style swim suit that offers the look in one coherent piece. The bathing suit option is perfect for modest coverage while boasting feminine style.

Extra large women's swimwear should offer features that promote coverage, comfort, and wear-ability. Elements to look for when shopping for a plus size sarong bathing suit include:

• A tummy-control panel slims and shapes the abdomen area. Some designs feature gathered material to add to the slimming effect.
• Conservative leg openings prevent the swimsuit from pulling up too far.
• A built-in bra is a necessity for busty women. The feature should offer adequate support and coverage. Some designs have soft cup and others have hard cup built-in bras.
• An attached under-panty or a lined crotch is a comfortable feature that prevents unnecessary gathering and bunching.
• Full rear coverage helps to keep the swimsuit in place.

The materials that make up the swimwear are of the utmost importance. Flimsy, see-through fabric won't make it through the summer. Features to look for include:

• Lycra and nylon blends
• Elastane
• Chlorine-resistant
• Quick-drying
• UPF protection
• Retains shape
• Breathable

The swimsuit should look and feel great while offering considerable durability. Some features appeal to the aesthetic aspects of the garment, namely figure-flattering designs.

A skirted front that rises up on one hip creates the sarong look. The swimsuit's skirt typically has appealing designs that add a feminine touch. Just as women look for the most flattering details in outfits, they should do the same for swimwear.

• Lettuce edging is a fun hemline that uses subtle ruffles to add interest to a sarong bathing suit.
• Side ties create a flattering line that minimizes the waistline.
• Skirt cover provides coverage for the upper thigh while drawing attention away from the waistline.
• Neckline details like colorful piping frame and flatter the face. Necklines should suit the wearer's body type and face shape.

Many women prefer wide straps for extra support at the bust line, but many are drawn to necklines that do not cater to wide straps.

The right neckline can make all the difference and sarong style plus size swim suits offer many options to consider.

• V-neck designs are flattering for many body types and the style draws attention to the chest area.
• A deep V-neck with lingerie straps is a low-cut version of the V-neck design.
• U-neck styles scoop as low as many V-necklines but offer a slightly softer line.
• A sweetheart neckline adds interest to the neckline without being too revealing.
• Square necklines are very flattering and they can be paired with spaghetti straps as well as thick straps.

The neckline is a very important feature to consider but the elements make little difference if the garment doesn't fit properly. Buying a plus size swimsuit involves getting the right measurements, especially when shopping online.

Taking measurements for bathing suits doesn’t require much effort at all. The measurements focus on the chest, waist and hip areas. A measurement of the torso is very important as well.

• Chest and bust measurements should be taken at the fullest point of the bust line, measuring around the chest.
• Waistline measurements are typically right at the navel, but some measure slightly above.
• Hip and seat measurements are taken at the fullest point of the backside while the person is standing.
• Torso measurements begin at the highest point of the shoulder beside the neck, measuring down through the crotch and returning up the back to meet the starting point.
