Let’s face it — I’m a stick person. 12-year-old boys have more curves than I do. While I’ve grown comfortable with my body, I still covet the gorgeous curves other women have, and I love that we’re all built differently. Imagine how boring the world would be if every woman was a size 6! One of the best ways to show off womanly curves is in a flattering, pretty swimsuit, no matter where those curves are or how generous they are. Case in point? Here are 7 gorgeous plus-size swimsuits.
