Not only is Elizabeth Taylor one of the voluptuous beauties who model for Curvy Beach, she founded the company. They’re on a mission to make sure that plus size women can feel good about themselves on a trip to the shore. Curvy girls everywhere have a hard time finding options when it comes to swimwear. Elizabeth found herself “longing for the luxury swimsuits that my smaller size friends were wearing.”
Custom Curvy Beach bikinis
Curvy Beach is based in Miami, Florida. It all started when Ms. Taylor moved from southern California and found herself “sitting on those beaches for hours, watching the parade of bikinis walk by.”
She thought to herself, “they must have so many different sizes down here – I will finally be able to find one!” It turned out she was wrong. “I found myself walking up and down Lincoln Road for hours, vainly trying on the largest bikini I could find which would barely cover the necessary parts.”
Since real women in America aren’t anorexic waifs, Taylor knew there would be a huge demand for the same thing she wanted. They now “have a strong Miami customer base.”
She’s thrilled to have a practical and popular solution. Nothing, she says, “feels more amazing than wearing my creations while walking along South Beach.”
She didn’t want any woman to feel like a “whale” while trying to get some sun and fun, so she came up with a “radical rethink on beach fashion that reinvents the bikini style in a way that suits more body types than ever before.”
She offers “the fabrics, fit and feel of traditionally higher-priced brands, so all women feel comfortable at the beach and confident in their own skin.”
Vintage silhouettes
Taylor decided to stick with the basics instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. “Combining my passion for 80’s vintage silhouettes and the fit expertise of a garment industry pro, I knew it was time start my own line.”
She debuted her “line of American made plus-size string bikinis to great acclaim last year.” She rattled “the entire swimwear industry.” Her idea was so timely that she achieved “viral success with a video that garnered 12 million views on Facebook.” Her suits get millions of views on the beach, too.
She has a couple new designs coming out, Stars and Stripes and Metallic Mermaid. These suits are meant for beach going bodies, “made for all shapes and sizes, from 4 to 24 and cup sizes A-J.”
Started as a “plus size” brand, they soon extended their line “to be inclusive of all sizes, unlike traditionally missy-size companies that may offer select fashions in plus sizes.”
Voluptuous women appreciate the high quality fabrics. They especially like the way the suits move the way they do.
“Each size matches the dimensions of true-to-life women and can be purchased as separates, so she can find her perfect fit.” Curvy Beach grew quickly because of the demand. Their mission statement is “Life is Short-Love Your Body.“
Ouch, my eyes!
