I am 5'2 and a size 18, which means I am petite AND plus size. Those two sizing terms might seem like polar opposites, but full figures come in a variety of shapes and sizes—one of those being short! As a petite plus size fashionista, it has been extremely difficult to fit into fashion and find clothing made for my body. But I'm here to share my petite plus style tips with you and to show the world that short, plus size women belong in fashion!
GabiFresh has yet again graced the full figured community with another boundary-breaking and absolutely gorgeous collection of plus size swimsuits under the online retailer Swimsuits For All.
Gabi's second line is made up of trendy prints, plunging one pieces, see through jumpers, earth tones, and a whole lot of sexy. Although I would love to see her introduce some mid-rise or lower waist bottoms—since a lot of plus size women don't want to sport a high-waist (myself included)—Gabi really knows how to inspire every curvy girl to embrace her body and swim sexy. The color tones and prints couldn't be more on trend, which is so important because up until recently, plus size swimwear looked like it came out of a terrible '90s workout video.
Another thing that really resonated with me and made me even more excited about this line were the sentiments that Gabi stated in the promotional video below. "Every year it's the same thing. New year, new you...It's time that we embrace who we are now...Look in the mirror you are already your best you." This year I have totally kicked the notion of a resolution out the window, and I have just decided to treat myself with gratitude and kindness and really realize that I am enough just the way I am. So thank you Gabi for the kick ass CURVE power and taking time to make something this community needs!
