I very much liked the look of the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit, so I was excited to try it.
I ordered it in a 0X, which is labelled as a UK 18 but I would say it comes up more like a UK 14/16.
I absolutely loved the colour of the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit – it’s not a vibrant, bright, or jewel tone, but instead a really stylish and chic dark beige hue.
This isn’t a colour I would normally choose to wear and before it arrived I was uncertain if it would suit me or indeed if I would like it. However, I am trying to push my fashion boundaries these days and try all sorts of different colours and types of clothing and swimwear, so I took a deep breath with this one and went for it! I am so pleased I did as I love the colour and I think it suits my pale and un-sunned skintone.
I also really liked the design of this swimming costume. The mesh panels and the cut-outs on the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit are really different and unique. It’s not often you find plus size swimwear options like this so I applaud Forever 21+ for having different swimsuits in their collection.
The back of the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit is also really interesting – the ties are eye-catching and allow for a flexible fit. They’re really comfortable and look great.
Coverage across the backside is really good on the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit. It’s not too high cut and it sits in just the right place. In fact, I would go as far to say that it is quite modestly cut for Forever 21+ swimwear, at least if my previous try-on experiences are anything to go by!
I am sure you have noticed that so far I have been waxing lyrical about all the good points of the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit, and there are indeed many, but now it’s time to mention the bad points. Well, the one bad point. But it’s a pretty significant one…
Boob room. Or a SERIOUS lack thereof.
Yikes, the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit is almost hazardous for me to wear – I am literally a deep breath away from a significant wardrobe malfunction. Never mind a nip slip…this could be a reveal-all situation in no time at all.
It’s such a shame – the sides of the Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit are simply cut too deeply so there isn’t sufficient coverage for my 34LL boobs. This would not be solved by sizing up as the issue is with the cut much more than with the size.
The Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit would work on someone of a much smaller cup size, and if that’s you I would recommend giving it a try as if it weren’t for the lack of boob room I would have seriously considered keeping this one due to its unique design and unusual colour.
The Forever 21 Plus Walnut One Piece Swimsuit is an absolute bargain – it was £25 but it’s now just £12.99 so why not grab yourself a bargain and buy it on the Forever 21+ website.

Wowee the colour of this one is great! I'm ginger and I struggle with my hair clashing with some colours, but I think this would be ideal for me. I am going to order it next pay day – I just hope they don't sell out!!
I think this would look great on anyone, but it’ll look so classy with your ginger hair. I hope you managed to get one!
I have been hoping you would review this one as I saw it on the site a few days ago and wondered how it would fit. I'm a 34F so I think I am going to give it a try as I love the colour and the way the back is done. So unusual! Thanks for your reviews, please know that they do help me even when things don't fit you (I noticed some woman throwing shade on your last post, questioning why you keep posting things that don't fit. Ignore her, she is probably just jealous!!!! And anyway it's your blog so you can post whatever the hell you want). Your blog is the best xxx
Thank you, Rachael, your support is greatly appreciated.
I think this will definitely work on you as a 34F. I’d love to know if you ordered it and how you found it!
I would never of considered this based on the website photo’s but having seen it on you I’m convinced. Even though it doesn’t fit properly it still looks great. I’m a couple of dress sizes bigger than you but my boobs are a lot smaller so I think it might be ok on me. I’m willing to give it a try anyway as like you said you can’t get swimwear like this in plus sizes anywhere else.
Thanks Bonnie – it sounds like this will be a great swimsuit for you. Did you buy it in the end?
Such a nice swimming costume. I understand you not keeping it though, it looks very hazardous 🤣 I love your reviews, so useful. I’ve followed you on social media for ages and it’s great to see you doing actual blog posts again. You’re a true inspiration ❤️Chloe x
Thanks Chloe! I love blogging and posting on social media, and I have more time to do it while I’m not working full time for a bit. I hope I continue to post content that interests you.
