I love my curves but I find that I can't pull off the sexy bikini tops because of my gut. I want sexy.tops and bottoms too but the top is like to cover my belly. Suggestions?

Have you tried any one piece outfits where the sides are cut out so at least you can invert and such yet still cover up the belly? I found some on discountstripper.com(yeah crazy name) but have some nice stuff.

I was just searching for the same exact thing! Here's what I found... http://www.sweetvixencouture.com/product/sexy_safari_catsuit
Im not looking to spend 80 on an outfit but that's so cute!!! I think I might have to get into sewing again lol I am looking for tops. I have a lingerie piece that I love just gotta find panties to go with it. Im brand new to pole so no inverts for me. I love girly skirts. Etc.
I just got some super cute rompers on yandy.com. You have to search under "Rave," believe it or not. It's a bit overwhelming cuz they have SO much stuff, but so far, both rompers are great quality and fit nicely.

Most of my pole wear is from Target! I'm not sure if they have curvy girl sizes (I would think so) but they are inexpensive and durable. I buy bikini tops and sports bra tops. Bottoms I can be harder to find there at Target....I wear Poleskivvies (but she not in business anymore) :( http://www.target.com/sb/activewear-women-s-clothing/-/N-5xtcl
Thanks ladies. Is it weird that everytime Veena replys to a thread of mine I get super excited and like....fan girl? XD

Alexis C, thank you so much for starting this discussion! I'm looking for the pole shorts equivalent of Apple Bottom Jeans...that allow extra space for Ms. Booty without getting bigger in the waist or otherwise (so just buying the next size up generally won't do). Any suggestions from the similarly well-endowed?

Eatvegancookies, I have that "problem" and prefer to wear the Nike Pro 2.5" compression shorts. They are not low-waisted so they actually cover my entire seat and don't ride up too bad.

Hi Alexis. I'm a size 12-16, 38DD and have been poling for 6 years. Here's what I recommend: 1) Lane Bryant (www.landbryant.com) has great sports bras that don't look terrible. These will hold the living daylights out of your boobs: http://www.lanebryant.com/active/sports-bras/20230c20242/index.cat. They are worth every penny. 2) I wrote about this very subject and have a list of places to shop here: https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/51363425-6660-48b5-b188-1ce60ac37250#bottom 3) Surprisingly, Bad Kitty's Brazilian cut pole shorts fit well! I assumed they'd be far too small, but they have good gut coverage and make your ass look great.
if you like the sweetvixen rompers you can also look for monokini's . They are bathing suits with the sides cut out. Sadly they look silly on me since I'm so short waisted the fabric on the belly sags. But then again I don't mind my curves showing, I've learned to embrace them!
I have a big booty with a small waist and Mika shorts are perfect. Mika yoga wear- Lucia shorts. they cover your butt and are still somewhat short, they cover your crotch well too. they have the side strings that you can tighten to make them shorter. these fit so well for me. and they are a tiny bit higher on the waist so that they cover my little belly pooch.
I am still having a problem finding tops though. I can find tops that fit but they aren't very supportive if they do cover. oddly, some tops that are too small and show too much cleavage actually support me better but I look too boobalicious for class.
Hey guys, just to let you know we can make any changes you need to suit your body type. There is a 'special instructions' box at the checkout where you can leave instructions, for example, to have the shorts higher at the back or front, have the top lower cut etc.

I would need more fabric to cover my ample bosom ;-) A lot of tops don't have the depth, so that the part that's meant to sit against the torso, is around the bottom of my boobs. I also have a very narrow back, which is another problem. I've got a couple of sports bras, but they tend to give the "uniboob" effect. I mostly wear a bra with a very low centre front, with a crop top (which doesn't have an under-bust band) over the top.
Hi, from the feedback we have had from our large boobed customers is that our crossover sports bra is really good at keeping everything in place as well as our racer back sports bra.

A friend of mine just launched a new line for aerialists. I just asked her to make booty shorts that have more coverage on the rear than the usual, and not a totally low waist. I think her pinup shorts look amazing but they're not practical for pole. The cheeky bottoms look amazing on a super fit bottom, but my loose skin tummy may not work for them. So I guess I'm going to be the "imperfect body" test driver for something kind of in-between. Anyways, if you want to check out her stuff, it's at: http://www.flymurmuration.com For others with C cup and under whose boobs no longer stand at attention, I personally love the Victoria's Secret sports bras, particularly the Showtime design. They hold everything up and secure and looking great, no matter how much you move or invert. I found my perfect top, and now I'm hoping Murmuration will be able to get me the perfect bottom!

As another "loose stomach skin" sufferer, I'll say that I had good luck with the "Competition Dance Short" from Balera. The waist is a bit higher and the fabric REALLY holds you in. I wore a pair for a performance and it was great.
Kejeso ·
I have some Balera dance shorts that are ok, but anything in a "shorts" style tends to have a very noticeable line where the thigh meets pelvis (especially with thin or metallic fabric). I call it the sausage leg effect. With a granny panty style bottom, everything stays put and my legs just look like legs and not stuffed sausages. I just need the waist to be just low enough to grip on a jade. Found this article googling "granny panty" for kicks: http://fashionista.com/2013/07/granny-panties-are-making-a-comeback-and-we-couldnt-be-happier/ hah! I'll check out the "Competition shorts" and see if there's a difference. Someday I'll find the perfect short!

Thank you guys. I was looking all around for something that would fit a more curvy person and did not see anything cute until I looked at some of the sites which were mentioned here. Thanks guys. I can finally wear something where I look and feel sexy in as well.

A girl at my pole studio got some really great curvy girl shorts for pole on a roller derby site. I'm not sure of which one, but I'm sure a quick Google search should get you on you way :)
