Tabria Majors has broken barriers as one of the first plus-size models to cover Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2018, proving that sexy comes in all shapes and sizes. Tabria takes pride in her body and hopes to see more inclusivity in the fashion industry. She wants to end the narrative that being “fat” is wrong. Reminding all the thick girls at home that our rolls and curves are okay!

Tabira has partnered with Fashion to Figure to curate a line that embodies the spirit she exudes in every shoot. Just when we thought swim season was over the retailer has released a complete swimwear collection designed by the supermodel. Fashion to Figure’s motto is that fashion is a state a mind, not a size range. Which is why the collection's sizes range from 12-24! The collection includes a selection of string and high waist bikinis. As well as the perfect beach cover-ups. And you could never go wrong with a neon pink one piece!

This collection shows that plus-size women do not have to hide behind clothes. That size does not define who you are! That you could be sexy jiggle and all. The full collection could be found exclusively at Fashion to Figure.
