Delta Burke struggled for years with her weight as well as her body image. As a type II diabetes sufferer, her weight  has been difficult to control. After many years of struggle Delta Burke has made peace with her plus size figure.

As the founder of her own plus size fashion company, Delta has been able to bring her own personal experience with being a full-figured woman to her clothing and swimwear designs. Attention to slimming techniques such as color blocking and slimming stripes along the sides of many of her suits are evidence of her plus size fashion sense. Many Delta Burke swimsuits have A-Line cuts to further accentuate the slimming effect. The beautiful pastel colors in the Delta Burke Swim Collection are a hallmark of her swimwear designs.

Plus Size Swimwear Sizing Tips

Like other types of women's clothing, plus size swimwear sizes vary by designer and even among styles from the same designer. The important thing to remember is to take careful measurements and compare them to the designer's sizing charts.

Use a cloth tape measure and take the following measurements:
  • Torso - this measurement should not be confused with bust measurement. It is the depth of your upper body, from the shoulder, down across your bust, and up through your legs and across your back. You will definitely need someone to assist you with taking this measurement.. Begin by holding the tape measurement at your shoulder and let it drop down over your back. Then reach between your legs and bring the tape up across the fullest part of your bust. Record your torso measurement.
  • Bust - with the tape measure parallel to the floor, measure the fullest part of  your bust.
  • Waist - stand straight up and measure around the natural crease of your waist.
  • Hips - stand with your heels together and measure around the fullest part of your waist, about 7-8" from your natural waist.
For Delta Burke styles, a size 16W is a torso of 65-66 1/2", hips 43-44 1/2", waist 32 1/2 - 34", bust 40 1/2 - 42", cup size 36D. As a general guide, if any of your measurements are larger than a size in the sizing charts, it's best to go up one size.
