Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, supported, and confident, no matter her size, shape, or curves. Yet for many curvy women, shopping for lingerie or swimwear can feel intimidating. Too often, items are designed for unrealistic proportions, leaving many women believing that the problem is their body, instead of the clothes.
At Curves & Hips in Promenade Shopping Center, the philosophy is simple: Your body is perfect. It’s the clothes that need to work for you, not the other way around. With thoughtfully selected lingerie, shapewear, bathing suits, and bikinis designed especially for curvier figures, the store helps women feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their own skin.
This blog is your guide to choosing lingerie and swimwear that not only fits beautifully, but makes you feel powerful, feminine, and ready to shine.
Embrace Your Curves - They Are Your Superpower
Before we talk about styles, fabrics, or fit, let’s start with the most important tip: confidence begins with acceptance. Curves are natural, feminine, and beautiful. Whether you carry your volume in your hips, bust, thighs, or tummy, your shape is not something to hide, it’s something to celebrate.
The right lingerie or bikini doesn’t transform your body; it transforms how you feel in your body. And that feeling changes everything.
Know Your Real Size (and Don’t Guess It)
Many women wear the wrong bra size without realizing it, often choosing cups too small and bands too big, or vice versa. For curvy women, the difference between “okay” and “wow” is often as simple as proper sizing. A well-fitted bra lifts, supports, shapes, and enhances your natural silhouette without digging, pinching, or slipping.
At Curves & Hips, the team helps you find your true size with professional guidance, not guesswork. The right fit will feel supportive yet comfortable, and it should instantly change the way your clothes fall on your body.
Choose Pieces That Work With Your Shape, Not Against It
Curvy bodies are incredibly diverse. You might have a fuller bust, a rounded tummy, wider hips, or a defined hourglass shape. Each silhouette shines in different cuts and designs, and the key to feeling confident is choosing pieces that follow the natural lines of your body.
If you have a fuller bust, supportive underwire or structured cups help lift and define. For curvier hips, high-waisted styles create natural balance and offer comfort without squeezing. If your curves are more evenly distributed, plunging necklines, soft cups, or wrap designs help emphasize your natural proportions.
The goal is never to hide your shape, it’s to highlight your best features and support the areas that need a little extra love.
Comfort Is Confidence
Beauty is never about suffering. When lingerie or swimwear fits properly, you don’t just look good, you feel good. Fabrics should be soft and flexible, never scratchy or restrictive. Bands should hug without cutting in, straps should stay put, and shapewear should smooth and support while still allowing you to breathe, move, dance, and enjoy your day. Curves & Hips selects items with exactly this in mind: comfort first, confidence always.
Say Goodbye to “One-Style-Fits-All” Swimwear
Curvy women deserve swimwear that is made for real bodies, not for unrealistic sample sizes. High-waisted bikinis, supportive tops, crossover fronts, ruched details, and tummy-smoothing panels can all work beautifully to enhance your favorite features. Most importantly, the right bikini or bathing suit should make you feel ready to step onto the beach or poolside with confidence. Whether you prefer a bold color, a tropical print, a sexy cut, or a classic shape, Curves & Hips has options designed to celebrate your curves rather than hide them.
Don’t Be Afraid of Shapewear - It’s Not About “Fixing” You
Shapewear gets a bad reputation, but when chosen well, it’s not about changing your body, it’s about enhancing comfort and boosting confidence. The goal is smoothing, shaping, and supporting your natural curves in a way that helps your clothes fit beautifully. At Curves & Hips, shapewear comes in breathable fabrics and modern designs that move with your body, giving you the freedom to feel confident, secure, and stylish.
