Help! Looking for cute vintage style plus size swimsuits!

[AmbeeBee]

Hey y'all! I've been looking around for some new things for my Disney cruise coming up in April and lately I have been absolutely in love with retro vintage style. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for websites with cute vintage swimsuits in plus sizes, or even just cute plus size swimsuits in general. I'm only really looking for swim tops, as I have a pair of black bottoms and pink bottoms. I figured mixing and matching would be wiser than buying whole new swimsuits. Thanks! :D

Everythingbutwater.com has thousands of suits in all sizes. I noticed some cute retro styles while perusing the site a few weeks ago.

I have had very good luck with swimsuitsforall.com, both in fit, customer service and price. 30% off sale right now, in fact!

Thank you for your suggestions! I can't wait until Old Navy posts their new suits for the season. I tried modcloth, but their so expensive! I'll definitely give these sites a look! :D

check out shabbyapple too

Betty Page has adorable retro plus size swimwear but doesn't sell them this time of year.

[mikaula]

You might check eBay. They have some new/with/tags in various sizes

[Daisyloo]

Try Lands End - they carry lots of suits and you can buy tops and bottoms seperately. Lots of plus sizes available.

I just look and the suits and not the price. Now I looked and they are pricy. I hope that you find a vintage suit. The vintage style is very cute.

[AmbeeBee]

Me too! I might think of getting a modcloth suit for our Christmas cruise.

Also try

thefind.com

Try Always for Me suits. They are spendy but I now own 3 suits!! Would buy more but not much chance to swim unless on a cruise. They are well made, fabric is nice. Really pleased with this company. Also they were very quick with shipping/delivery. After years of being in tears trying to find a decent suit, very pleased with them.

try searching on etsy.com

they have actual vintage shops and handmade shops that do swimsuits in vintage style and custom made

[iheartmarshall]

Normally I would suggest Torrid or Lane Bryant but their selections are limited right now. Here's a few that may have what you're wanting, though.

 

Always For Me - have some retro(ish) style tops for less than $50

http://www.alwaysforme.com/separates.html

 

Target - always a large mix of styles

Maurices - they have a really cute black/white/coral halter top that's kindof retro!

Do you have a discount store like Gabriel Brothers near you? A couple years ago I found a one piece suit from Lane Bryant that is the PERFECT vintage/pin up style. It was a black/white polka dot suit with the retro sweetheart halter at the top. I got it for $12, new with LB tags, and saw it in stores the previous summer for $80+. In my local Gabe's, they carry a ton of LB suits and are already starting to put some out. You might want to try some place like that too.

Has anyone ordered from Always for Me swimsuits?

[CrabbyPatti]

Yes, I have ordered from them 3 different times. Very pleased with the suits and cover up I purchased. Fit well, nice fabric, excellent customer service. Will keep them on my list to do business with!:)

[DJSchib]

I have seen a couple of suits that I have liked on Always for Her website but have no clue on a size to order. With clothes I am mostly a size 12 on bottom but definitely an XL or 1X on top. I hate to play the game of buying, sending back and reordering again. Any insight ?

[fergusonvt]

I know this isn't everyone's favorite place but Walmart online actually had some really cute retro style suits.

There's an absolutely cute bathing suit on the Canadian Forever 21 website right now. I'm so tempted to buy it for my upcoming March cruise but I'm wondering if the top is going to be big enough for me. I may have go go bigger than my normal size.
