Summer is just around the corner, and for many women, that means it's time to start thinking about swimwear. But if you're a plus size woman, finding the right swimsuit can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are more options than ever before when it comes to plus size swimwear, including tankinis, one-piece swimsuits, and bikinis.
One popular option for plus size women is the tankini. A tankini is a two-piece swimsuit that features a tank top-style top and either bikini bottoms or shorts. Tankinis are great for women who want more coverage on their midsection or who want the flexibility to mix and match different tops and bottoms. At Dresslily, we offer a wide variety of plus size tankinis in a range of colors and patterns, so you're sure to find one that suits your style.
If you're looking for a little more coverage, a one-piece swimsuit might be the way to go. A well-fitting one-piece can be incredibly flattering, and it can help you feel more confident and comfortable while you're at the beach or by the pool. At Dresslily, we carry a range of plus size one-piece swimsuits that are designed to fit and flatter women of all shapes and sizes.
And if you're feeling daring, you might want to try a bikini. While it can be challenging to find a bikini that fits well when you're plus size, there are options out there. Look for high-waisted bottoms that will help smooth your midsection and tops with adjustable straps and built-in bras for extra support.
No matter what type of swimwear you choose, the key is to find something that fits well and makes you feel comfortable and confident. At Dresslily, we believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and stylish, no matter her size.

To get into the first looks that were made for Barbie, we need to understand the beauty and fashion of 1959.
1950s fashion existed under that shadow of World War II. Women of the war era were hardy, hard-working, and practical. Fashion was also extremely practical, using as little rationed material as possible. The silhouette was boxy, masculine and almost military, with big broad shoulders and knee-length skirts. Rationing and austerity continued in the years immediately following the war, but then in 1947, something miraculous happened:
(The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Christian Dior created “The New Look.” Now okay, fashion in general had been leaning into this new silhouette and Dior was far from the only designer to be working with it, but his was the most copied and most iconic.
“The New Look” was a call back to the sumptuous femininity of the mid-Victorian era, bringing back tiny waists held in place by impossibly tight corsets and big, full skirts with crinolines and hoops.
The silhouette was a return to classic femininity, but the materials garments themselves were pure modernity: a practical ensemble for a wealthy woman-on-the-go who was lunching with her friends in Paris.
Looking back at Barbie’s 1959 looks, Christian Dior’s fingerprints are all over them, but I see plenty of other designers in the mix, as well. It’s actually very easy to find near-matches of almost all of Barbie’s 1959 looks with a cover of Vogue from the 1950s. Barbie from the get-go was an idealized woman who existed in a world that was separate from the middle-class American suburbs that the little girls who played with her lived in.
Looking at classic first-run Barbie, there’s honestly not a whole lot to say about the bathing suit look. I mean, yeah, that’s what fashionable women wore to the beach in the 1950s. Her buxom curvy body fit the idealized standards epitomized by Marilyn Monroe.
Her face has the heavy makeup that was worn by French fashion models of the time.
Arched, heavily-styled brows, eyeshadow, slightly winged eyeliner, mascara, and of course perfect red lips with matching mani and pedi. One of my pet peeves about vintage style is when people wear winged eyeliner as “50s housewife glam.” NO. Your average middle class American Mrs. Homemaker was not wearing that kind of makeup. Winged eyeliner in the 50s only had a small wing that accentuated the eyelashes, and was generally only worn by the high-fashion crowd. Maybe on a special extra glamorous date with Mr. Husband, but not to a church potluck. Anyway, end of rant, but you see that’s what Barbie is trying to emulate.
Her hair, however is different: the poodle hairstyle was one favored by teenage girls. Seen here on the squeaky-clean America’s sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds:
The playful, youthful hair pulls her back and keeps her from being *too* grown-up. It’s the first step in the balancing act that Barbie has always pulled off with aplomb: to represent adulthood without being too far out of reach of children’s imaginations.
Hear me out....A Modern Little Mermaid AU with SatoSugu, with you being their 'Prince Eric.'
Humans had always fascinated them. They were curious about human technology and society, collecting any trinkets and gadgets that sank down to them.
However, that fondness didn't extend to human males. To them, they were weak, a hindrance to their species instead of an enhancer. Among merfolk, females outnumbered the males, but mermen were responsible for leading, hunting, and protecting. Their efforts were rewarded with harems.
However, Satoru and Suguru were different. They weren't interested in women of their species, and rejected the clan lifestyle. Being ocean nomads were more ideal. Many merfolk didn't understand them. They were strong, handsome, and outgoing, yet they chose to mate with each other instead of taking a gaggle of willing women.
Don't get them wrong, they wanted a woman, just of a different species.
The same traits that made them look down on men made them obsessed with human women. Mermaids were lean and muscular, meant to survive in the harsh oceans. Human women were softer and curvier, made to be held and bred. The weakness of your species was disgusting for males, but ensured their chosen woman would never get away.
When they saw you on a boat looking pretty, lounging in the sun wearing only a little bathing suit, they're instantly smitten. Your pretty face, soft, curvy body, skin wet from swimming, all of it made their mouth water. After minutes of staring at you, they looked at each other, having a full conversation with their expressions alone. Once they looked back to you, they weren't too pleased to see that a man had joined you. When you smiled and kissed him, Suguru had to slap a hand over Satoru's mouth. It took soothing whispers from his mate to calm the albino.
Was it love at first sight? No, but one glance at you inspired intense lust, and they'd employ any trick possible to satiate it.
