Holiday shopping has always filled me with dread! Browsing the swimsuit section is my idea of absolute hell! I’ve never been comfortable with the notion of piling myself into a teeny tiny bikini and strutting my stuff down a beach surrounded by beautifully bronze bodies. Our ordeals are over models such as Tess Holiday have proved that you to can look AMAZING in a bikini!  We don’t have to settle for a black stomach control one piece anymore! There are a number of retailers who are now selling two pieces and costumes for plus size women who want to look good on the beach and not just in. Tess who recently signed for Milk is a size 26 and  looks incredible in her high waisted two piece. This year has seen the rise of the ''Fatkini''  giving me hope that I too can look as good lounging by a pool on my holidays, below are a few of my favourites.
