If you’re a curvy 14 to 36 and can’t wait to hit the beach this summer, definitely check out Onestopplus.co.uk, which is home to: women’s fashion up to size 36, shoes up to size 9, lingerie up to size 50G and men’s fashion up to size 10XL.

The store has created a series of fabulous beach outfits (see above) based on the swimwear styles available this season.

Outfit number one is all about print (which is in this season, so don’t be afraid to experiment with it!). Match a printed tankini top with printed bottoms; the V-neck top is a really flattering shape for the chest heavy women and the shorts are perfect for ladies with larger hips.

For that on-trend look pair with this colour blocking swim dress in a bright cerise pink, a pair of colour blocking wedges and a straw bag, which is the perfect stylish companion for those days at the beach.

Remember that “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”? Well… remove the “Itsy Bitsy” and “Teeny Weeny” and you have a figure-flattering companion that’ll make you feel fabulous; the tie neck and ruffle detailing is perfect for fuller figures.

Wear it with this colour blocking t-shirt dress, the perfect go-to cover up. To finish the colourful look, wear this glam wide-brimmed bright pink straw hat and colour blocking sandals.

So… I’ll assume that most of us can’t really afford to hire a private jet or rent an entire island but that doesn’t mean that all royal-worthy locations are a no-go.

The Seychelles is, after all, a paradise patch of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean.

Word on the street (and in the Telegraph) is that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first visited the Seychelles in 2007 following their break-up five months earlier.

Rumour has it that the dreamy archipelago is where they vowed to stay together for good and marriage was first mentioned – consequently the perfect romantic destination for a honeymoon… or the best summer getaway.

Before the royal couple’s holiday destination was confirmed, the mere rumour of the Seychelles was enough to increase associated flight searches on kayak.co.uk by 250%.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, the Seychelles is likely to be the go-to spot on the summer calendar of many Britons.

Just to whet your appetite, wonderfulworld.uk.com has written a tantalising description of the island paradise -

Imagine a swimsuit that has the ability to create the illusion of instant inch-loss.

Kind of like Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, but with the power of selective invisibility. Oh the joy of being able to hide lumps and bumps at will! How to look good in a swimsuit?!

Guess what? Debenhams say they have got a figure sculpting swimsuit designed according to the measurements of 5,000 British women.

And not just one but a whole range of swimsuits that accentuate the good bits and smoothe the lumpy bits. We can’t all be superheroes but we can all wear magic garments that trick the body into a different shape.

The ‘Slimsuit’ is constructed from two layers of fabric – the inner layer is made from a specially designed heavier gage lining fabric which does the miracle work, while the outer layer is a slinky micro fibre which gives the suit a glamorous appearance.

Combining shapewear with traditional padded swimwear, moulded bust supports lift and separates breasts in a similar way to a bra.
