👙BloomChic🩱 Swim 2024 Collection! Plus Size Haul and Honest Review

[@BarbHilty]

I thought the first and last ones were the most flattering on you. But truthfully they all worked. Thank you for trying so many styles. It makes me just a little bit braver and willing to try new shapes too.

[@ivymcdonald7259]

Your videos are my absolute favorite out of all my subscriptions! Your content always puts a smile on my face and I feel like I’m just hanging out with a friend. ❤️ Getting to drink my morning coffee to a new Meredith video means today is gonna be a great day! Thank you for being you! 🥰

[@ellenc.1685]

Could not agree more!

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you so much, Ivy!! That is just the nicest thing ever- hugs to you!!

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you, Ellen!

[@valap2]

I'm not sure your intended mission for this channel, but for me, it's nice to see someone with a similar body shape trying on clothes, it's helped me to figure out what shapes and styles will be flattering on me when I go shopping.

[@tiarewilliams9186]

Same. I have the same body type and size. Meredith is more "formal" than I am though. I'd love to see some jeans, tanks, t-shirts, capris, etc.

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you! I started this channel because I wanted to see people like me try on things and there weren’t many (I was looking specifically for subscription boxes at the time). I’m so happy that that is why you are sticking around!

[@BigonStyle]

I do need to find more casual clothes that still make me feel ‘put together’. I always tend toward formal and fancy if I have an option- interestingly enough, my daughter is the opposite! Comfort is her number one goal and she is able to do it adorably! I need to take notes!

[@nicolethijs5428]

Same for me! Although living in Europe and some 20 years older its nice to see what a certain shape of clothes does for our figure.

[@nicolethijs5428]

By the way you look fabulous in that Antropology floral mint dress! Found the last plain royal blue swimsuit the most flattering. Did not like the purple ruffle thing on you.

[@mindyw2411]

Okay, Meredith. This is going to be one of those “what????” moments. You really should go back and look at the marine blue swim romper again. It’s adorable!!! And it had a pocket!! I’m ordering one in purple. 🥰 Probably my favorite one on you, though, was the cherry swim dress. That one was so flattering and so pretty! Definitely a keeper. Loved the video!

[@BigonStyle]

My husband said that he surprisingly loved the romper one! I don’t even know if I realized that it had a pocket! I’m going to go back and check it out!

[@mindyw2411]

@@BigonStyle I saw the model online with her hand in a pocket. That’s a total sell for me! 🥰

[@mindyw2411]

Update… the plum swim romper came in yesterday. I love it!!! So cute! ❤

[@sherrysmith332]

The first suit, the dark blue shorts, is the best on you. It gives your body definition. It is also made to actually swim in. The suits with skirt or ruffles float in the water, making it hard to maneuver.

[@jillcarter5221]

I wish I had your confidence. :) Thank you for just being you.

[@sunshinetuna]

The first romper style suit looks great. Thanks for picking it. I saw it online and was like how is it gonna look on me and now I know.

[@minide63]

I loved the first suit on you. The blue mesh was also very flattering.

[@alciraproenza-collazo]

As I was getting ready to watch this video I was thinking how I'd love being real life friends w/you. And then you talk about that model you feel like she's a friend 😂. Some people/things/whatever just kind of click. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this about you. You are so Darn likeable Meredith. So really. So down to earth. So open. So honest. So like a friend I'd love having. I have a friend who says the following to me and I'd like to share it w/you...thanks for existing 😊. God bless you, your family and your channel. Always wishing you much success. ❤ 🫂

[@KJayPlays]

Your energy is so infectiously warm and bubbly. I really appreciate all your efforts 🤍

[@ocd_annaleigh]

One thing I wish swimsuit websites would do is have a picture of the model coming out of the pool. Some swimsuits are absolutely adorable dry but look ridiculous wet. I love the suits you picked out. Super cute!

[@michellem7649]

The jumpers are great for cruise excursions when you have to swim and do land activities! Thanks for being so brave and showing us these swim options.

[@cherylforster1075]

I loved that first romper swimsuit on you. Very flattering.

[@dana9742]

That was my favorite too! If you do get in with that one, I’d love to know how it behaves in the water.

[@bradcrawford9543]

The first blue jumpsuit style is the best

[@jan9601]

The last swimsuit I thought really complimented your body. Nice colours too!

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you!

[@justME-hn1wn]

It was nice for me to see the first one you tried on other than a model. I really like how it looks on you, and would now be much more tempted to buy one. It is actually the only one that appeals to me personally. Even though I’m in AZ, I never make it to the pool though. And you’re right, shipping takes a relatively long time with Bloomchic. Great video. Loved to see swimwear.

[@helenanderson2065]

Thanks for putting it out there for us more modest gals. Great choices to try. I really liked the first one. While not as figure-flattering, it looked really comfortable and would be absolutely perfect for a waterpark or chasing after kids.

[@alisong2328]

That green and orange dress looks great on you! 😊 👗I'm so glad I'm older and able to ignore unflattering trends and wear what makes me happy.

[@darrenwilson7217]

You get 10/10 for bravery doing this blog. I haven't worn swimwear since I gained weight. Was always afraid those types of swimwear would scream old lady. I liked the last one best. At least with your own pool you can swim away from the crowds. Wendy

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you, Wendy! It is a difficult thing to be comfortable wearing! I had lots of people ask me to do swimsuits last year and I thought ‘no way!’ But this year I thought that trying to find suits in my comfort zone may help other people with the same feelings! We occasionally go to our neighborhood pool and I see ladies of all sizes in swim dresses and ladies of all sizes in bikinis- wearing what you are comfortable in is what is important!

[@marianne57]

You always bring me a smile Meredith and I see so many others feeling the same. You radiate sunshine. I made myself chuckle thinking how much fun it would be to all hang out with you, but of course we would need a banquet hall for everyone to fit. ❤️🤗

[@jenniferlynne8399]

I absolutely love the purple ombré-ish layered top. The lilac and plum are beautiful with your skin tone. I am in love with the cherry print suit. It’s beautiful on you. I like the bow ties in the front. SHEIN has some great suits as well. I just purchased a black suit with puffed sleeves and a black ruffled swim skirt. They’re fun and reasonably priced.

[@BrendaKnight-kl8xr]

I actually liked the first and the last suits best. I also liked the cover up. As a former Houstonian (70 years), I was disappointed to see Beryl hit that area and i hope that you and your family made it through the storm without too much damage. Love your videos because you has such a positive attitude and wonderful message for others.

[@katlynncok2]

That was just horrible !

[@BigonStyle]

Thank you so much, Brenda! We faired very well through the storm. We do not have power and it is very hot, but hopefully it will be back on soon- I’m sure that you remember those days!! We have been staying with my parents, they have a generator and live right around the corner, but the generator is no longer working. We are just very blessed that we didn’t sustain any major damage and that the storm went quickly with very little flooding!

[@BrendaKnight-kl8xr]

@@BigonStyle Glad to hear that you made it through the storm without much damage. No electricity in south Texas in the summer is not fun.

[@karenniehues4786]

[@ScrappyHighlander]

The blue mesh suit was my favorite. Personally, I like two piece suits simply for ease of using the restroom. 😊 Being a similar apple shape, I prefer swim shorts and tops with a blouson effect.

[@alciraproenza-collazo]

Aw man, I like the black one. The last one you tried on.

[@doriscassan6996]

me too!!

[@blaireshoe8738]

Her bottom two were my bottom two, but only because the others were so good! I liked all of them on her, I just liked those two the least of a good bunch!

[@Hollybio]

I think the first and last suits looked wonderful on you! That last dress was beautiful. Thank for trying these on for us!

[@loriru3135]

oh my gosh….the “see through swimsuit” $35.80, that you don’t like is my favorite! It us just an elegant little black w floral mesh summer dress. LOVE IT! It is so flattering and does not hug in any of the wrong places. My second favorite is the tiered graduating purple layered swimsuit. At 5 ft. tall, it may be fine for me, but it would be perfection with a fourth tier for you. Love your videos!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

I liked the final swimsuit the best. I thought it was very figure flattering yet practical. Your pool looks so inviting. I always choose skirted swimsuits and I get them from vinted.

[@judithrees6919]

Kudos to you for trying on swimsuits for us all. I hate trying on suits so I truly value the share here. I agree with your choices. ❤

[@denizday7785]

Posting a video when you've just made it through a hurricane is amazing dedication!! Even though I know you didn't time this video for the hurricane, the fact that your post-hurricane video turned out to be about swimsuits has its own special humor. 😂 I hope you and your loved ones are all safe and managing the heat.

[@BigonStyle]

Ha! Thank you!! I had uploaded it to have Bloomchic give the ok so it was easy to schedule- but I will absolutely accept that it was dedication! You should see what the pool looks like today 😬

[@liasanma1665]

There's actually a lot of cute clothes in there!

Oh I love the shark bite one , and on you it really did look good and the cherry one was my second choice. Then the first one you tried on next . Oh well you will get all kinds of different ones I sure so go with your gut and make you happy. And as always till the next one.

Impeccable timing - I fell asleep last night before I could decide which Bloomchic swimsuits to order, and now I’ve had a chance to see them on you! I liked the cherry suit on you the best, but the blue sheer one suits you too. Hope you get your power back on soon. A couple of years ago after a storm I lost power for 8 days, and am now the proud owner of a portable solar panel and some CPAP battery packs 😅🇨🇦

Prayers that you, family and such are ok through the storm.

Your videos all make a great start to my day! Thank you! I think I agree with your rankings….the first suit reminded me our the uniforms we had to wear for gym class when I was in school! The only difference was the top part had thin stripes! I hated wearing that thing! My days are a little sad right now, so it’s nice to start with a smile! ❤❤❤

[@murlepeterson6028]

Oh jeesh !! Thought we were the only ones wearing those ugly suits for gym class! Green for Southside, blue for Northside of town then blue for a rural based town west of us in city !

With my last discount code from you, I bought a ditsy floral swim dress in mint and I love it! So thanks!

[@risengrot]

Thanks for another great video! My favorites were the coverup (so breezy!) and the last swimsuit (black floral). It wasn’t the most shape-enhancing, but it seemed to lengthen the body in a flattering way.

[@doriscassan6996]

I thought they all looked good! I was surprised you didn't like the last one, it was cute. I have the same inner-upper leg issue!! So I tend to wear Unitard suits that they sell for aquafit. Swimsuits for All. Nice long boy-legs that stay down. Or swim shorts over a one piece suit. You are a contagiously cheerful person and I enjoy your videos!

I know you’re not a fan of your upper thigh area but I just want you to know I have the same little flap of skin so I know exactly how you feel and I’m so glad to see someone who looks like me. We’re roughly the same size I’m just a few inches shorter. I love being able to see how these would fit on me without having to buy them and try them on

[@susanmorris-smith5509]

It’s hot here in Alberta, Canada as well 😎 Meredith I think you’re absolutely right about wearing what feels comfortable… I liked the first and last style of poolside wear the best on you! However, for actual swimming… the set with the cherries and red accent bow in the front was so flattering🤗 🌴🍹💕🎶🙏

[@SandraHernandez-ih8bo]

I’m watching now and I love the blue that you said was like a gown or something. When I saw you in it I said, “Wow Meredith!” I love it!

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

You are a brave woman. I ended up with a suit that’s drapey on top with bike short bottoms and I love it. Have some suits that are rompers and I like them but too much fabric. I liked the first blue one on you. I liked the black floral on you too.

[@hr323i]

Thank you for the swimwear reviews! It really is helpful especially since swimsuits are so hard to pick out

[@kikirae3171]

Hey, v-sis! I bought that layered top in the teals/black!! I agree, it totally flows and makes you feel like you’re wearing a swimsuit but it’s not fitting like a sausage casing. I love how descriptive you are with all the suits. Your sewing knowledge definitely gives you an added perspective and it’s really helpful. Thanks for another great vid! ❤

[@Wildpoppygirl]

[@brendabignall9926]

Hi Meredith! 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️✨ Thanks for the 2nd swimsuit haul. It can be so difficult to find suits that fit well and that I feel pretty in. I am either a triangle or mini fridge in shape - 50 bust, 51 waist & 53 hips. I'm also a 5'4" hobbit. I don't like how my upper thighs look either. I favor the tankinis with babydoll or flowy tops and bike short or shorts with mesh skirt bottoms. Wet one pieces are too much work in the bathroom. 😂 I really liked the royal blue suit on you & the model. 🤩 And I love the pretty coverup too. Thank you for Sharing!!! 😊 Love, Hugs, Blessings & Sparkles! ❤️🫂🙏🏻💖✨

I order often from Bloomchic. I would say tops run large and bottoms seem true to size. They ship from overseas and that accounts for longer shipping time. Prices are great and quality is fine. Do follow care instructions.

I liked the last suit on you, very flattering

[@Calhorsey]

Keep the green dress. it's awesome!

[@blaireshoe8738]

The second suit, the patchwork asymmetric in indigo, my first thought was "That's kinda nice." My second thought was "Not great, not amazing, but nice." You're absolutely right that it's a good option, just overshadowed by the other ones in this haul! Similar thoughts on the last one, funny to know our bottom two match! I'm not sure exactly which part of your inner thighs you're insecure about, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the royal blue, because I was really unsure how the sheer skirt would look before the try-on and worried you might hate it, but was very pleasantly surprised! I'm not sure if it had a smoothing effect, or just felt more intentional since it wasn't so hidden, or maybe just the confidence you wore it with, or some combination, but you totally slayed in that one, to the point it was my favorite on you! My personal favorite was the first one, but I'm definitely in the "don't really want to swim, but want the option" club, so looking more beach-side than beach is more my go-to. I felt between that and the royal blue, you've found some real winners, and the purple and cherry were fun too! While the other two (second and last) didn't work out as well for you, they were still lovely options I'm glad you showed us, perhaps they'll work out better for some of us viewers ^^

My favorite is the sheer blue mesh. It is too bad that the sharkbite suit wasn't 2 inches longer. Then, it would have been perfect. The first romper suit reminded me of the blue gymsuits we wore in Jr High. Maybe in a different color, I might have liked it. Everything else was just ok. It is too bad that the last suit flattened your bust so much. It would have been cute.

[@BigonStyle]

I think that last one has such potential- if it just had some kind of lift to it, it would have been a winner, I agree! The blue mesh is the only one I have worn swimming and it was great in the water!

[@cherylst6475]

I have ordered from bloomchic swimsuits a few times. I ordered “Contrast Twist Front Skinny One Piece Swimsuit” in several colors. I’m pleased with the fit 2x, but find that the colors fade quick.

[@BigonStyle]

Oh, I don’t like to hear that! This is my first experience with them- I’m going to pay attention to the vibrancy and see if I have the same experience. We normally hang suits out to dry in the sun after swimming and my torrid suits hold their vibrancy years later!

As someone who is chesty and hates wearing a bra swimsuit I know see the advantages. I think you would have liked some of the swimsuits better if you had a built in bra to lift the girls and help show off your waist. JMO And I have to say I am so jealous of your backyard pool. ❤ from Canada.

Hi Meredith! I hope you and your family are ok in the storm. I thought you looked beautiful in the black mesh swim dress. It was sexy but lady like at the same time. You were speaking very fast so it was hard sometimes to understand but I enjoy your presentations.

[@BigonStyle]

We are doing alright- just hot and cranky! I had this one scheduled before the storm hit. We are all so thankful that the storm moved through quickly and that our area didn’t sustain any flooding. I apologize for my fast talking, I naturally speak very quickly. I wonder if hitting the setting button and listening at at .75 speed would help at all? I will try to be more cognizant when recording in the future, as well! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
