Holiday wear for a larger girl

Agutka

I am fat. 5'4 and 16 stone. I have a giant belly, but the fat is everywhere, so am not aware of any parts of my body I would want the eye drawn to:eek:
Don't even have the boobs to balance it out.

But in a month's time I'm off on a beach holiday. HELP! I keep looking at past photos and not finding much in my wardrobe that I would be happy in. Are there any magic beach clothes out there that I don't know about?

What about maxi dresses i think they look lovely on any size lady.....

That's exactly what I was about to reply!

There are so many lovely maxi dresses around at the moment - they are everywhere! Not only are they perfect for what you are looking for whilst you are away on holiday but also when you are here in the UK too!

Best of all they suit all shapes and sizes!

Next have a good range of support swimwear .

Also get yourself a Fake Bake a couple of days before you leave .

In all honesty there will be other people in a similar position . We all come in different shapes & sizes.

I have found la senza swimware to be pretty good and I 100% agree with the Maxi dress comments! There are quite a few nice simple dresses in H&M at the moment! Hope you have a fab holiday

i would also go with a maxi dress for going out at night and a nice kaftan for wearing over a one piece or tankini for during the day

Bless you. Make sure you have some nice stuff for your hair, big sunglasses so you can feel glamorous and just general clothes that you feel comfortable in. Fake tan like someone already said.
I am struggling with my weight at the moment so i chucked out ALL my clothes, brought the next size up and am now embracing my curves. Whilst i do love the bone look i just don't have the will power to deny myself food and drink. I know that people feel very comfortable with me and they always want me at their parties so can't be that bad. You just need to love yourself. Look at larger ladies and think that could be you. No one notices a larger frame if you have a killer smile and a great personality. xx

I had a fabulous time in Peacocks around this time last year, when the weather turned hot and sunny. Spent about £70 full price (but I had vouchers) and got my whole summer wardrobe. I go between a size 18 or 20 in their store, but most of their range goes up to size 24 I think. Pick out loads of stuff and go try it all on!

Agree with a maxi dress too, just bought one (in Peacocks again) - I love it!

Get some accessories from primark sandals (£2), bags, hair accessories, bangles and necklaces. I have recently started to accessorise and feel lots smarter and fashionable for it.

Enjoy your hols.
