After I found the perfect bikini when I was in junior high school, I have not put on a one-piece swimsuit since. That bikini was blue and had big plastic rings on the sides of the bottoms and in the middle of the triangle top. I totally rocked it back then. Now I’m a lot curvier and I am only comfortable in a bikini laying out on my back porch out in the country, where no one can see me. So what’s a gal like me to do to get ready for summer pool-time? Search for the perfect one-piece, that’s what!
Finding the perfect one-piece swimsuit when you’re “curvy” is difficult because, if you’re like me, you don’t like anything tight around your mid-section. But I’m learning to embrace my curves and since I’ll be heading to Orlando in June for a blogging conference, I want to be ready to hit both the lazy river and the pool at the hotel while looking cute and being comfortable.
So here are my top 12 picks for one-pieces, which can be found at either Bloomingdale’s, or the online shop, Swimsuits For All. {Note: This is not a sponsored post, nor am I an affiliate, for either of these retailers. I just really liked these swimsuits. I sure you can find some of these swimsuits at other retailers.}

I love the colorful, multi-print patterns on these swimsuits because I feel like you could wear them under a sheer cover-up and be super stylish at any pool party. You could also rock a one-piece under a pair of slouchy overalls or under a denim mini-skirt or denim shorts. You could pair an elegant black one-piece with a maxi skirt for a more sophisticated and polished look.
Do you like rocking a one-piece swimsuit? Where do you shop for stylish one-piece swimsuits?
