Have you looked at companies like LLBean or LandsEnd?

My understanding is that both carry plus sizes. I got a Lands End swimsuit earlier this summer and have been very pleased with it.

Some Sear's stores now have huge LandsEnd departments and have been running incredible sales all summer (last I saw, everything was 50% off).

Lands End hands down! Not only do they have adorable suits in all sizes, but if something ever happens to them they will replace them (or give you your money back) free of charge! I also suggest looking at Lands End's Overstocks site (through LandsEnd.com). You can find adorable suits for less than $20 that still have the same quality and guarantee as Lands End. Also, if you find something you like online you can buy it in a Sears store and have it shipped to your house for free (same goes for the Overstocks stuff). Good luck!

Travel Smith. I like them because they have underwires for the larger bust sizes.

Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug have them now and sell them online if you dont have one near you. Also last year I couldnt find one that fit me right I am long in the middle and have a big chest so all the two piece ones were to short and my tummy showed and all the one piece ones werent long enough and they flattened my boobs. So I found a one piece that had a skirt attached and I cut the crotch out of it and then bought a pair of bathing suit short bottoms. it was the best thing i ever did. My chest is covered and the girls are up where they belong and my butt is covered. I like it alot.....oh and I got it all at Walmart so very cost effective for me. Sorry for such a long answer and stuff hope it helps.

how about www.landsend.com. i am not plus size, but i do buy their clothes and home stuff. their return policy is AWESOME!! return at sears, they will look up your receipt if you lost it, and no questions asked, and no time expiration on when you can bring the item back (like at old navy or gap).

I used to be able to find them at Marshall's, however, this year the plus size selection was very limited.

I took my daughter shopping for a suit at Walmart (she goes through them so quickly, I hate paying a lot of money for suits just used in the backyard). I was really surprised, but I found a plus size suit for me and a suit for my plus sized daughter.

I won't buy a suit online, because I need to try it on. But if online works for you, I suggest justmysize.com or womanwithin.com.

Lane Bryant Allen Outlets have a huge selection all on sale!! They make some with underwire, which is what I was looking for, but the ones without are extremely supportive too! I ended up getting a tankini and skirt bottom, no underwire just an elastic bra inside and love it!!! I know this is a little TMI but my cup size is a size H and sometimes I fall out of those and I was shoked at how supportive their bathing suits were! That keep everything pointed up and sucked in!! At the outlet with the sale they are about $80-100 which to me is very expensive but once I saw how I looked in it I had to have it!! If you're lookin for something cheaper try Avenue (there's one in Mckinney) my mom bought 2 there for $20 a piece!
