subject: Maternity Bathing Suits - The Top 3 Styles For 2010 [print this page] When it comes to womens bathing suits, we can always catch runway shows sporting the latest trends on E or Style Network. Typically these involve super-thin models strutting down the runway, and plus size models didn't even exist. And plus size bathing suits certainly were never trendy, cute or stylish. In fact, it used to be that maternity bathing suits were ugly and unflattering swimsuits that no pregnant person would be caught dead in.
I remember my poor mother when she was pregnant with my 3 younger siblings. Her swimsuits where anything but attractive. I guess the fashion designers were just being practical and not trying to be fashionable back in those days.
Luckily for plus size and pregnant women, that is no longer the case. Maternity swimwear manufacturers have taken it up a notch in previous years, and especially this year. I guess they finally realize that even pregnant women like to feel sexy and appealing, even in a maternity bathing suit!
They have outdone themselves this year with some incredibly stylish and cute maternity bathing suits that flatter the figure of a pregnant woman, no matter what trimester she is in. So I'd like to put in my two cents on the 3 cutest maternity bathing suit styles that are out this summer. Here they are:
1) The Tankini with Skirt - this maternity swimsuit is not only flattering, but comfortable and leaves plenty of room for your stomach to grow without pinching or tightening as your belly gets larger over the months. And it minimizes your curves as well, especially if it's a black or other dark color.
2) The Halter Skirtini 2 piece - you can wear this for the entire 9 months. Some features include a waist and hip minimizer, soft molded cups, ties at neck for support, tie front detail, and full cut brief with attached skirting.
3) The Illusion Bathing Suit - The name says it all. This maternity swim dress is sexy and supportive. The v-neck flatters the bust and works for both a big busted woman and a not so big busted woman.
The shirred sides on this maternity swimsuit shows a curvy waistline. The dropped waist skirt detail is just enough coverage without really classifying it as a swim dress.
And those are just my top 3 favorite maternity bathing suits. However, there are many more flattering maternity bathing suit styles out this season that will appeal to every womans' taste and fashion.
