Ashley Graham Swimsuits for All Collection
It's finally, finally happened - Ashley Graham swimsuits are here. At this point, Ashley Graham has become a household name with many magazine covers, runway shows, editorials and Joe Jonas' "Toothbrush" video under her belt. Ashley's on a rampage, with no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Ashley Graham's Swimsuits for All collection is very James Bond inspired, and has lots of strings in places I've never put them before. I wanted to give my take on the suits I tried on - I've put half of the collection on my body!
Spy Swimsuit (pictured above): Okay, I'm seriously obsessed with this suit. This runs true to size. I'm wearing a size 20 in this photo and needed to size down to my true size, 18. With the magic of the internet and photography, you cannot tell that I'm pinned in the back and sides, haha. This suit has a built-in bra but I am very busty so it didn't do anything for me. I would have sized down so the suit were tighter and I could have more support. Outside of needing a smaller size, this swimsuit is DOPE. I could easily throw on a skirt or pants with this and hit the club.
Double-Cross Siren Bikini (pictured above): Not for the faint of heart, this bikini has little coverage in the bottom. I sized up to a 20 and had enough wiggle room, but didn't want to sneeze or breathe too hard. This suit was crucial, haha. The top just fit my 34K bust (again, no sudden movements). But DAMN, if this swimsuit didn't make a statement! Between the color and the cut, you sure will not be missed.
Secret Agent Siren Swimsuit: This swimsuit is the one I wore during Buzzfeed's FB Live chat today. I sized up to the size 20 and I felt really good and secure in it. The back has an H-back, which gives extra support in the shoulders and back so there's not a lot of pressure on your neck, a problem I usually have with bikini tops because I'm so top heavy. If you have a big booty like I do, the bottom half will get a little skewed, but I had no problem with it.
Heist Swimsuit (in Glamour video): OMG THIS SWIMSUIT IS SO WELL MADE. No seriously, the price is totally justified. It's so high quality and the flat studs are so beautiful. This swimsuit GLEAMS in the sunlight, there's no way anyone could miss you in this statement piece. I was wearing a size 20 and could have sized down to an 18 just for support. I didn't feel like I was holstered enough at the neck, as this isn't adjustable at all.
Liasion Swimsuit: This is such a hard suit for someone a) as busty as I am and b) with an underbelly. It's an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini, essentially. Lots of stringy floss with a panel down the front. I saw this suit on a woman with a smaller bust and less belly and she looked FAB in it! If you can rock this one, no matter your size, more power to ya...but I just didn't feel as secure in this one.
Overall, Ashley Graham Swimsuits for All collection is a knockout. Just as you would expect from Ashley Graham, there's string bikinis, stringy one-pieces, and lots of sexiness from all angles! There's not a ton of coverage in a handful of the suits, be mindful of this when shopping. To see how the suits look on bodies, you can check out the Glamour article I was graciously included in or the Facebook Live chat with Buzzfeed style!
