Try Delta Burke's Fashions in Plus Size Swim Wear and Bathing Suit Collection

Fashions change from year to year, and the good news is that swim suit Delta Burke designs are changing too. You can still find the skimpy bikini, but you'll also find it comes with a matching or complementary sarong, a cute pair of boy shorts, or a long cover up for cool evenings or extra-sunny days. Separates from companies like Delta Burke swim wear have revolutionized plus size women's swimwear and sporting apparel: you can mix and match tops and bottoms, skirts, shorts and bra tops for any look you want. Suit your suit to your body frame, accenting what you like and covering up what doesn't please you. Or suit it to the occasion: a long day at the beach? Bring a cover-up! A rafting trip? A tankini makes a nice outfit for the water, or choose a pair of board shorts and a bikini bra for more coverage below and less above.

When it comes to a suit for your lower body, there are two ways to go—hide it or show it off! To cover up, you can choose a Delta Burke swim dress with a longer skirt, or a pair of shorts or sarong over a one piece suit. But if you have nice legs, you may want to go with a higher cut side and tummy control features on a one piece suit. If you like your waistline, you may want to choose a suit that accents that feature: a maillot with a ruched waist or a surplice top that wraps the waist is a good idea. To minimize a too-generous bust, choose a suit with a higher top like a boatneck style. On the other hand, if you want to make the most of your bust, a deep v-neck or surplice will make the most of what you have. And if you pick one of the many suits with underwire support and hidden shaping, you'll be glad you did. With some of today's suits containing fabrics with more advanced holding capability than Lycra, you can appear at your best while wearing practically nothing at all.

A hundred years ago, bathing suits were actually dresses, made of wool and always in black. They covered the swimmer from neck to knee, including long sleeves. Delta Burke has come a long way from swimming in wet wool! The point of a bathing suit is to get you in the water, not to make you feel uncomfortable. If you aren't shy and like to show a lot of skin, you certainly can, but if you'd rather keep things under wraps, there are plenty of options that don't make you look stuffy. More and more women these days are covering up to keep their skin from the sun. A creamy complexion is not only protected from skin cancer, but stays smooth years longer. You can find bathing suits with added UV blocking capability as well as longer styles to protect the delicate skin of your upper legs and back.
