Gabi Fresh for s4a Swimwear - swimsuitsforall
so, the bathing suits designed by gabi at gabifresh are cute (though i don’t love that you can’t buy tops and bottoms separately, but i’m pathetically grateful since fatkini options are slim), but the galaxy print bikini is cute (though i’m not sure i get the extra.. strap on the chest) and i love the galaxy cover-up. i burn easily and am covered in beautiful deadly moles, so beach cover-ups are really handy for me.
that’s super cute, right? however, swimsuits 4 all has decided that even though we’re on their site to shop for bikinis, we must truly hate our disgusting fat bodies:
- Cover-up hides hips while minimizing rear and thighs.
- Print breaks up torso and visually slims waist.
i wish gabi well in her endeavors, and think she’s awesome, and appreciate that she designed bikinis for fat women, but i definitely don’t want to give swimsuits for all any money now.
swimsuits for all, you are butts, and you are selling this stuff entirely on the back of the designer’s good reputation and great designs- not because of your gross marketing.
Yeah, this is unfortunate. And that the pieces only go up to a size 24 - though, that may be for some reason I don’t know about that somehow makes sense?
SO MUCH CONFLICTING EXCITEMENT due to lack of funds, yet so much lust. WHY MUST FASHIONS COST MONIES, I want it all on my body right meow.
Rue 107 has always been curve friendly and now they have extended their sizes to include plus sizes. They have really cute plus size swimsuits and some of their most popular styles now in bigger sizes. Here are some of my favorites.
So, I would never have worn such loud pants before I started telling fat fashion “rules” to fuck themselves. And I’m so glad I figured out how to do that, because floral skinnies are happy-making, and I love this pair so much!
I got them from Eloquii, who are going out of business (grrr) and selling all their clothes off really cheap right now so GO GET SOME PATTERNED PANTS AND BE FIERCE.

That shirt is awesome, and I hope one day I can say the same.
it is so very overwhelmingly okay to feel great about yourself whenever you want, wearing whatever, doing whatever. do not ever apologize for the amount of space you take up on this planet, small or big. we are glorious. i have a feeling i can speak for a lot of fat babes out there when i say… SORRY, WE’RE NOT FUCKING SORRY.
Water therapy.
Bikini made by me!Looking so wonderful my dear!
