How Plus Size Swimwear Should Fit
We believe every swimsuit should be a blend of comfort, style, and confidence—designed to help you look and feel your best. And when it comes to plus size swimwear, fit is everything, so we’re passionate about getting it right. We design every suit with comfort and coverage in mind, so you can focus on soaking up the sun or diving into the waves without worrying about discomfort. The perfect plus-size swimsuit should fit snugly enough to stay in place, even when wet, but not so tight that it digs or pinches. We’re here to make sure you find that balance every time.
How Inclusive Swimwear for Plus Sizes is Made at Lime Ricki
Inclusive swimwear is more than just adding sizes—it’s about designing intentionally for individual comfort and style. All of our designs start with real feedback from our customers and team members. We want to know what features are working, what aren’t, and how we can continue to provide the best plus size swimwear options possible.
Creating a beautiful, well-fitting plus size swimsuit takes a different approach than the design process for “standard” sizes. This goes beyond just scaling up. Our talented team of experts uses a technical design process called “grading,” which adjusts each size for fit and proportion as it goes up. Grading is more technical and customized for plus sizes. There are many more rules and a more complicated process to make patterns work for more bodies. This process allows us to tailor each plus size design for plus size bodies, adding features that enhance support and maintain your shape comfortably.
Another key part of our commitment of inclusivity is having our prices stay consistent across sizes. Regardless of whether you’re buying an XS or a 4X, we believe in fair pricing because style and comfort are for everyone.
Why Plus Size Swimwear Design Needs to Be Different
Designing swimwear for plus-size bodies involves its own unique rules and techniques. It’s about making sure each piece offers the right support, structure, and stretch in the places that need it most. We know that a great fit is empowering, and we’re dedicated to getting that fit just right.
Details like leg openings, strap placement, and waistbands are crucial to creating a silhouette that both flatters and supports. The thread that runs through it all is our commitment to delivering a custom-made experience that meets the needs of every individual body. Our process involves careful adjustments and fittings to make sure that every suit is ready to provide lasting comfort, even after hours of hitting the waves.
