She wanted to prove there was a lot of choice out thereCredit: TikTok/streetsbeatseatsIf that was not enough, she shows those lacking self-esteem how to rock the poolside look with oozing confidence.
Casey (@streetsbeatseats) uses her TikTok to advocate "self-love, body confidence, and curvy fashion," to her 92,000 followers.
In her swimwear post, she presented a roll call of colorful one- and two-piece swimsuits that her fans described as "stunning."
"You've avoided swimsuit shopping because you didn't think you'd find one you felt confident in," she began her post, wearing a baggy black sweatshirt and loose beige shorts.
But the tone changed radically in the next frame.
Wearing a bright pink one-piece, she reassured viewers with her caption, "But then you found my page."
"Sharing swimsuit fit reviews to help you find something that suits you and your needs," she said.
This lady's quest for good-looking swimwear for curvy women came from many disappointments.

"I hated one-pieces as a kid," she said. "It was always an awful shopping experience."
But the choice of colors and styles she had on display was dizzying, and she wore them all with confidence.
It proved to be a popular post with over 32,000 likes.
Typical of many was this comment: "Makes me happy to see that even if you're bigger you can look good," said this fan.
Another pointed out: "I'm so glad that one-pieces have come so far since I was a kid. The ones they make now are so cute, when I was a kid it was only grandma-looking ones."
There were umpteen compliments.
"Girl I love all of these you look amazing," observed this fan, followed by another's: "Girl, you rocked every single one of them."
Finally, one viewer said: "Keep doing you, queen. Confidence is key to a happy life."

With the arrival of spring weather comes the inevitable arrival of pool parties and beach vacations. Whether you're planning an elaborate beach day in your favorite tropical location or you actually live someplace that's warm enough to hang poolside in the spring (If you live in LA, come chill with me by the pool!), there's always an excuse to don a cute plus-size swimsuit. However, if you've been hoping the weather never changes so you'll have an excuse not to wear a swimsuit, that's about to change. (I hope.)
Today's Top Deals
Everyone deserves to feel good wearing a swimsuit. There's no "right" way to wear a bathing suit, and there's certainly no "right" body for a swimsuit, either. Sometimes it feels like the swimsuit industry (Is that a thing? I think it's a thing.) is out to get plus-size women. So many swimsuits are flimsy pieces of barely-there fabric that have no support for larger breasts or any sort of body coverage for those who want it. Some plus-size women love to bare it all, but even swimsuits made to show a lot of skin don't often come in extended sizing. And for those who want more coverage from their swimsuit, there are few options that are actually cute. It feels like we're playing a rigged game.
But spring also represents starting fresh, and that's what I plan to do this year regarding plus-size swimwear. Because I know how exhausting it can be to try and find cute plus-size swimsuits in all different styles—string bikinis, high-waisted two-pieces, one-pieces that aren't dowdy—I scoured the web and rounded up a bunch of super cute plus-size swimsuits that will leave you feeling confident and ready to hit the pool.
