The weather was glorious yesterday and it reminded me that my summer holiday is creeping nearer and nearer and I am so un prepared bikini wise. If like me you are blessed (or cursed as it more than often proves to be) with larger boobs than a normal busty lady then you will understand my dread of bikini shopping! Anyway the only place I have found so far that offers sizes that fit at affordable prices that aren't made for women aged 50+ and actually hold some kind of fashionable resemblance is the trusty Asos. As I was searching through their 'curve' range something that was brought to my immediate attention was rolls, cellulite, lumps and bumps- NORMAL BODIES!!! Wow. What a sight for sore eyes, I was shocked - I don't think I've ever seen an un-photoshopped body on an online clothing store before! Amazement. Now I don't know for definite if they have actually made a change, but here are some of the photos of their curve range before: 
Here are the current pictures:
I think it's about time that this was shown, media treats cellulite like a taboo myth that should never actually be shown! Truth is even the skinniest of us have it, it's not just the overweight so why is it such a big deal?
I read an article on buzzfeed a couple of weeks ago showing what plus size clothes actually look like on normal real life girls and the results are shocking; http://www.buzzfeed.com/kristinchirico/what-plus-size-clothes-actually-look-like-on-plus-size-women
The only reason I think this is great is because I think no matter what your size/shape you shouldn't feel bad for having imperfections. Skinny or big everyone is beautiful in their own way, and these ladies shouldn't have to hide their lumps and bumps for society!!!!
I hope you more curvier ladies are as pleased as I am with this, and if any of you know any other shops that do great affordable plus size bikinis pleaaaaase enlighten me!!!
Have a great week,
Lillia xxxx
