I like the swimsuit on the right. I think it is the Maya Swim Mini. I like it the best because I like something that covers a little of my hips/thighs. Also Most of my suits are solid colors and this print screams fun! It is adorable. I think it would work for my body shape. Size 16W.
What I love about my curves is they are a part of me. I think my curves are sexy. They can make picking out the right outfit and bathing suit more fun. I think about what accentuates the right areas and what minimizes the areas I want to minimize. Love yourself and always adore your curves! Be happy and Healthy.
I like the turqoise bathing suit, in size 18, and I love my curves because they are beautiful.
I like the red, black, and white bathing suit the best. Not only do I really love the colors, I love that it’s a pattern instead of my usual solid color suit. I also like that there is a little more coverage of the hip/upper thigh area because of the little skirt. It’s cute!
My size is probably a 22 or 24.
What I love about my curves is that they make me look and feel like a woman. I think curvey women are sexy.
Thank you for the chance to win this bathing suit!
I like the blue one because I it’s not skirted or patterned. I think skirted and patterned swimsuits scream “apologetic for having thighs and a tummy” whereas just wearing a regular swimsuit shows confidence. I also like the underwired bra and the halter top – perfect for a confident curvy woman.

I LIKE THE SWIMSUIT ON THE RIGHT. I LOVE THE WAY IT HAS THE GENTLE RUCHED SIDES WHICH WOULD HELP SLIM OUT ANY BULGES ON THE SIDE OR MID-SECTION. I ALSO LOVE THE PATTERN WITH THE SPLASH OF CORAL ON THE SKIRT. I LIKE A SWIMSUIT WITH A SKIRTED BOTTOM BECAUSE IT GIVES ME THAT EXTRA COMFORT OF COVERING JUST ENOUGH BUT NOT TOO MUCH. I’M A SIZE 22-24. I’VE LOVED MY CURVES BECAUSE I’M COMFORTABLE BEING WHO I AM. I FEEL BEAUTIFUL AND BELIEVE BEAUTY IS NOT DEFINED BY HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH OR WHAT SIZE YOU WEAR, BUT HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF. WHEN I WALK IN A ROOM, I KNOW ALL EYES ARE ON ME. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY SIZE!
I would love to win the blue turquoise suit, I have a huge competition with actors, models, and talent for christ, I am representing the fashion runway for the plus ladies. I feel that it is our duty as real woman to bring health back to beauty.
Oh yes, size 18 tall measurements 42, 39, 50
