Simple black ruffle swimsuit from Monif C.

Unique Plus Size Swimwear

For truly unique plus size swimwear you must visit Monif C. But be warned, with that unique designer swimsuit comes a steep price. Monif C is best known for her amazing Marilyn convertible dress; a few years ago she introduced a few swimsuits and eachย consecutiveย year there have been more options to tease and delight us. Most sell out fast, sometimes before they are even available (via pre-orders). Here are a few (I had like ten which is most of the line and cut it down to four) of my current favorites:

The Bikini

Plus size swimsuit separates that include the option of a full brief and a bikini top are going to be even hotter than last summer as more women impose their right to bare arms, legs, and bellies. Monif has a few print and sold options to choose from. I love the simplicity of this black and white pattern. And doesn’t that top look like it was made to support a plus size woman’s breasts?

Active or Modest or Sensitive

Whether you are very active in the water, a little modest, or perhaps you burn easily on the chest and arms. The Malibu Surfer suit is glorious with its pseudo-peacock print and long black sleeves. I adore this one.

Peek-a-Boo

This peek-a-boo shoulder one piece comes in a few color options but the burnt orange is so bright and so festive. The deep V shows your sexy means business.

Ruffles

The Trinidad Ruffle swimsuit also comes in a few color options but I love the basic black. A simple swimsuit is made pretty by the addition of an all over ruffle, reminiscent of my favorite peasant tops, and a few hip dangles.
