    When you feel comfortable in one!!

    My tummy hangs and I have chubby thighs. I still wear my bikini. Why? Cuz I wanna. :D
    My best friend is one of those skinny girls that can eat whatever and never gain weight. Even where I am at I feel fat next to her.
    I'm still gonna wear my bikini tho, even if my tummy jiggles a little - I like how I look! :)

    Whenever you feel like it! If you want a bikini body, put a bikini on your body. Done.

    When you go to the beach. Never while shopping at WalMart.

    Seriously, wear what you feel good wearing and wear it proud!
    LOL! This!

    I'm a curvy size 14/16 and I purchased my first bikini. It's in a retro style (looks like something Marilyn Monroe would have worn). I may have an atypical "bikini body" but I don't care. The trick is feeling good in your own skin, regardless of your size!

    Where did you get your suit! It sounds exactly like the style I have been looking for.

    To the OP: Rock a bikini whenever you want, as long as you are comfortable and confident that's all that matters.

    Check out walmart.com. There is a whole line of retro inspired suits by Catalina. I just got a striped high waist bikini. I looooove it :)

    Wait...if in your picture you were 185 and in a bikini why would you NOT be comfortable now at 164?

    Oh, honey, it's always okay! There are so many sizes and shapes... just find a flattering cut and GO for it!

    I still remember the thrill I got when a fit and slender friend told me how great I looked in my bikini, when I was at the heaviest I had been in years. It's all about the cut!

    Edit: Just looked at your photo... please! Just do it. :)

    I completely agree!!!

    If they care about your chunks, that is their problem not yours. :-)

    This. But make sure to post it to instagram so all the thirsty young thundercats can "like" it.
  • geez, there are very plus sized women wearing bikinis now. While I would NEVER have done that when I was majorly huge, I don't think that they shouldn't if they want to. You are definitely small enough to wear one if Plus sized women are!!! You look very tiny tho not anorexic and bony like most Hollywood types!

    I bet you would look great! GL to ya:)

    Personally I would not ---but my personal opinion obviously is outnumbered by everyone…sometimes what everybody else says and does is ok -is not always right….
    in the picture you look fine. If your hiding major love handles forgoe the bikini and get a one piece.
    I;m not the one to judge nor anyone else but when i do see someone ill fitted in a bikini I just know I would feel shameful. But hey if you have no shame then go on girl saddle up them cheeks haha

    This might not be the most popular response but if your belly sags over the front of your bikini and it looks like you're not actually wearing a bottom piece then you should probably just get a one piece suit.

    Also if you are heavier PLEASE get one that fits properly.

    Sorry, but I disagree. You should dress for yourself in a way that feels comfortable to you. A woman who is 400 lbs has just as much right to choose any swimsuit she wishes as any 90 lb model. Whether or not her swimsuit fits properly or exposes fat rolls is no one's concern but her own. If you don't like the sight of it then look away. Also, it's quite obvious by the OP's photo that she is no where near that large.

    What a load of rubbish! My friend is a size 12 and looks hot in an bikini. Yet I have a size 4 friend who looks horrible in a bikini!

    As long as your butt doesn't sag, as long as your bust does not sag, as long as you do not have loose skin hanging off your arms, waist or legs, you can look good in a bikini at that size!

    P. S. Marilyn Monroe would not wear her previous size in today's modern world. Manufacturers have since those days upped their garment measurements by several sizes--as a marketing tool!
