Flattering plus-size swimwear options: two-piece, swim shorts or one-piece?

[Jupitersdaughter]

I've never bought from BloomChic before, but was considering buying some swimwear from them. The style of swimwear I would normally go for is something like this:

I was drawn to some of there 2 pieces though as more practical when going to the ladies. I also think they look great on the models. The thing is I am concerned about showing a role of flab above and would really like them to meet. An example is this:

I have big thighs and had also considered some sort of swim short. My worry is I don't normally wear shorts as I find them unflattering, though might it be better than having my entire thigh out? An example is this:

Or a simple one piece with shorts like this:

Any plus size ladies tried these styles? Did you find them more or less flattering than a normal swimsuit?

Just note that the model has a flat stomach, I think One Piece is the way to go.
(when you go for a pee you pull the gusset to one side, you dont undress)

what size and body shape are you? I’m a classic apple and I’m an 18, with post-baby boobs and a menopause tummy, but I have good legs.

i tend to go for a style that lifts and supports my boobs to help separate from my belly. So i definitely prefer your one-piece!

I wouldn’t want a two piece that bared any midriff - I think it would create a roll of fat between the top and bottom. You can get one piece tops that are longer and have a built in bra - that may work better

I'm a size 14-16 and 12 stone and I have a two piece similar to those but it definitely looks worse than my swimsuits so I would probably stick with the swimsuits.

I go for board shorts and swim tops OP - look at Lands End, they’re very supportive and you can mix and match the colours

Thanks all. To answer some questions - I'm not sure what size I am (will need to measure myself and use the size chart). I am a size 16 in Popsy dresses (which I live in), but Popsy is very generous sizing. I've always had an hour glass figure, but post kids also carry wait on my stomach. I had an emergency C section with my youngest and now have an apron stomach. I also have a very large bust, so definitely need support there. I've had tankinis in the past, but don't find them the most flattering as where the top joins the bottoms gives a line and draws attention to my widest part. I wear dresses that come in under the bust and then go out as I find this the most flattering.

I was hoping if I sized up on the two piece bottoms, they would meet the top. Realistically though they would probably end up riding apart. I wonder about the style of the last one on the link. Part of me thinks giving a bit more coverage on my legs would be good, another thinks it might just emphasize the size of my thighs more. Maybe I will just stick with the style I'm used to.

I don't like the shorts but love the 2-piece costume. I would say it's definitely worth trying on at least

Have you considered a tankini? Long top covers the tum, high rise bottoms - looks like a swimsuit but is more flexible for movement, going to the loo etc.
