Vacation outfits for size 18?

[Anonymous]

I just booked a trip to the Caribbean over winter break. This is my first time back since my honeymoon 15 years ago. I’ve gained weight since then and am looking to buy a couple new dresses and fun swimsuits. I’m a size 18 and - a bit TMI here - my breasts are unusually high so low-cut things look obscene on me.

Any recommendations?

Universal Sizing is having a big sale. Between them and Athleta you should be able to find things that work.

I am the same size. I mostly shop at jcrew. Regular or factory. Get them fast since summer is almost over.

^ me again. Anthropologie has some beautiful dresses if you are willing to pay. Check out shopzuri.com also.

I would recommend jumpsuits! One casual/cotton or some other comfy material, with or without sleeves, and one black one in which you feel sexy and sleek. And then the biggest most fun earrings you are comfortable with at bigger sizes, thigh rub is a real concern, and I hate packing extra things like bike shorts, Spanx, etc on a vacation.

Also, get this swimsuit. Not sure what your definition of fun is, but this is cute and very very comfortable.

Does Universal Sizing have stores?

Lands End for swimsuits, and personally I do bikini top/swim bottom or swim shorts, and rash guard. The zip up ones are nice with a hood because you can easily take them off if your in the shade.

There are some nice dresses at Lane Bryant but quality can be hit or miss. LE dresses I used to like but haven’t seen any recently I like.
