Find Great Plus Size Swimwear

Three words to bring dread into the hearts of most women: bathing suit shopping. Finding the store then finding a parking place for the car, then finding quarters for the parking meter. Then taking the escalator or elevator through the mall to the store filled with shoppers rushing around trying to take care of their errands. Arriving at the bathing suit department to discover that it is filled with women and you are going to have to wait to get a dressing room. Then looking around at the selection to discover that they only carry a few plus size bathing suits – that you went to all of this trouble to look at three bathing suits! There has to be a better way. There just has to be.

Well there is. You can shop online for your bathing suit and have your choice between many bathing suits, different colors and styles. The only difference with online or catalog shopping versus in-person shopping is that your suit arrive within a week or so as opposed to taking it home from the store that day. But if you are willing to pay more for express shipping, you can have your suit within days, or maybe even tommorow. Remember if you are going to shop online with a store or catalog, to be sure to take your measurements and go by their sizes, not by your regular size. They could consider you to be a slightly different size, but you want to be sure to get the best fit.
