As well if you wear plus sizes and are what is .considered a round body type try a long ‘tankini’ top in a vivid color with a more subtle bottom.
One point to remember is that if you have a large bust line, make sure you are not falling out of your top. This is never flattering no matter what your body type.
Round shaped women that have a very large chest can find support for their bust with a higher neckline or a built-in bra.

round body type.
The swimwear fashions that are high in Lyrca are a very good choice for the round body type. They help to smooth out bumps and bulges and make anybody type look slimmer and some say they shave 10 pounds off the body.
For color and pattern choices; there really is no need to stick to all black. Deeper tones other than black, like deep purple or blue are fine. As well if you choose an allover, smaller pattern, it will confuse the eye and keep it moving and take attention away from your shape. However, stay away from horizontal stripes.
As well, choosing a suit from a company or designer that is specifically for larger women will help you to have a better fitting suit made from fabrics and colors that will be complimentary.
