For so long the one piece was the only bathing suit for plus size women. It was the ONE and "simple" bathing suit. It was bathing suit that was the epicenter of what was wrong with plus size clothing. The one plus size fashionista wanted to burn because it symbolized the lack of diversity and creativity for us.
Then....came the "Fat-ini" and it dominated the market.
Not sure which designer came up with it first or who came up with the name but it crushed and revived our fashion spirits. For years, it was the one and only bathing suit any self respecting fashionista would find herself in.
Now I know there are "stylistas" that LOVE their two pieces and vow to never wear a one piece. For you ladies I say go for it babe. I am not against a two piece for ANY size women. If you like it....go right ahead and wear it.But you have to acknowledge the influx of ultra sexy ass once piece suits.
Rather its mesh, shear, zippers, cut outs or intricate designs, One piece has gotten a very much appreciated over hall and upgraded to sexy!!!
Some suits are so sexy you wouldn't think its a one piece...but it is!
One piece colors combo are more vibrant
Cuts have been updated to complement curves instead of hiding them
