It’s almost swim season, which means Tanning! Hot models! Splashing! Fun! And….. Dysphoria.
A keen awareness of your body can come around seeing people and their gorgeous cis bodies. I know how hard it is to wear a bathing suit when your dysphoria gets in the way.
This is all in your head so thankfully, there are ways to help!
An idea from (yes I’m bringing this up AGAIN) Boy meets girl is a bathing suit worn by Ricky, the trans fashion designer who made her own bathing suit:
Ricky (Left) is wearing a one piece twist top bathing suit which excellently defines her curves and accentuates her chest (she’s obviously got a good amount of breast tissue but this can work for anyone) It’s a very versatile choice and can sometimes be found in Mastectomy stores!
A great choice for a top is my preference, a flounce top. It’s super duper cute and good for flat girls:) There are a lot of varieties and choices. It can be a lot of cute patterns and it’s a really fun and flirty idea that really brings out your shape
And for the bottom, a swim skirt is my favorite option, it can be plain, patterned, tight, flouncy, crochet, or anything and it can hide anything.
Another option is swim short shorts as I’d call them. they look cute and the cut doesn’t draw attention to between the legs!
Here’s another possibility, the little black swim dress. not only does it accentuate curve and breasts, It also is discreet down below.
Here’s another one piece, but this one is about the design, the V shape creates an illusion of your curves being bigger, which is always nice:) The look makes a very balanced body, and plays to the hourglass look.
If you’re happy, calm, and confident in your body, you’ll always look beautiful:)
