Promising review: "I was looking for a modest suit that covered my big booty cuz I'm going to a kids' pool party. This swimsuit exceeded my expectations! The quality is amazing! The material is durable and dries fast! ...The cut is [beautiful] and the padding in the bra area is not too thick but covers the nips. The color is beautiful and goes perfect together!

4. A faux-wrap swim dress created with adjustable straps and removable padding, so you can control the amount of support and lift you get with the V-neck design. A side split trailing from the empire waist shows off your curves without revealing too much of anything else when you're diving in head first!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Even though it’s a one-piece this bathing suit is classy and sexy... A simple cover up and some wedges with this suit, and the beach won’t be ready for you." —Jamie Legend

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 36 colors).

5. A quick-drying asymmetrical swim dress, which looks like you're wearing a classic one-piece suit with a sarong-style skirt, so you could still have water rolling off of you and walk into a theme park restaurant looking fully-dressed (but you probably should still towel off first)!

www.amazon.com

Duluth

Promising reviews: "...This suit is beyond perfect to live in, much less swim in! This is THE ONE. ...Once I got this one on, I dug the tags out of the waste can to see where it originated — and goodness, am I impressed! [Looks great], comfortable, pockets, and shorts that don't ride up — I rushed back to the website to buy a couple more... because it's just too perfect a find... Even if they fit differently based on ongoing weight loss, I don't care. The suit is exactly what I never expected to find — the swim equivalent of 'day to night' wear." —Cali pool gal

Get it from Duluth for $99.50+ (available in sizes 4–18, 18–26, and five colors).

7. A tankini swim dress that you're going to love just because the two-piece design makes it much much easier to use the bathroom after downing gallons of iced tea by the pool. But let's also celebrate the too-cute tankini with a ruched top and flutter sleeves to make you look like one of King Trident's daughters whenever you're in the water.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Each swim dress comes with a pair of high-waist briefs! BTW, reviewers say it runs small in the bust, so you'll definitely want to measure and double check before ordering!

Promising review: "Wow! Bathing suit shopping is my LEAST favorite type of shopping to do. I am plus size and can never find a swimsuit that I feel confident in. This bathing suit is the one! The material is fantastic... I was not gifted with having a larger chest and this suit makes me confident and like there is a little something there. The padding is just enough and do not even get me started on the color. It is bright and absolutely beautiful! Cannot wait to order it in a different pattern!" —Brittany

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this swimsuit... The fabric and quality are very good! It fits like it was made for me. It holds your [tatas]... and doesn’t make it look like a uniboob. The straps are soft but give great support. The cups are lined but not too thick. It’s a great length...

Swimsuits For All

Promising review: "My absolute favorite swim dress! I have reordered this one when it gets older as I don’t ever want to be without it. I swim often in lakes and pools so am typically hard on swimsuits. This one hangs in there with me! The fit is perfect... Being older, I appreciate the higher neckline so can focus on my swimming, not my suit. Hard to find any negative, but perhaps it is that after many wearings, the skirt stretches out a little bit." —Kimberley S.

Get it from Swimsuits For All for $92+ (originally $115; available in sizes 8–34 and eight prints).

14. A halter swim dress with a chic mesh cutout on the contrast top and dependable built-in bottoms. You can head to your next beach day in style without having to worry about any outfit mishaps when strong breeze or large wave creeps up.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I couldn’t recommend this more!!! It is beautiful and fits so well. I have rather large breasts and I was so afraid that the top wouldn’t support them. It doesn’t have any wires or anything but it supports perfectly. I swam for a long time in it, often times holding a baby that was pulling on me and everything still looked perfect when I got out of the water. This suit makes me feel beautiful and I couldn’t be any happier." —Nichole

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, 18–24 Plus, and 14 colors).

15. A scoop-neck swim dress featuring wide adjustable straps and a skirted bottom with a knotted accent to show off a little more of your legs when you're sunbathing poolside. BTW — toddler moms say this offers perfect coverage when it comes to chasing after kiddos and being pulled on by little hands!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This swimsuit is literally perfect and does it all! It’s cute, sexy, modest, and classy. The best part? It’s COMFORTABLE! I don’t think I’ve ever said that about swimsuit until now. I bought it for family vacation since we were going to a resort with a whole bunch of water slides so I wanted a modest swimsuit. Little did I know that while I was able to accomplish the modest look, I was able to feel sexy and confident too! ...It’s really a nice, classy and smoking hot swimsuit!" —Pizza Lover

Nordstrom

Promising review: "So comfortable, breathable and protects your skin. I love so much, I have several colors and got my family into these as well. This is perfect if you have kids and need to run around all day or if you are just not comfortable in suits. I sized up so it is more dress-like and wear a suit under it. Highly Recommend!!" —Pam128
