Tammy Rivera and T-Rivera Swimwear Line
Tammy Rivera expanded her T-Rivera swimsuit line with TPLUS, a plus size swimsuit line ranging from sizes 12 – 28! Rivera said herself that when she conjured up the idea to expand her line, she wanted it to look “exactly like the standard line.” She noticed too much of the drab plus size swimwear lines adding humble skorts to cover-up or only featuring black/white options. To her, it wasn’t “sexy enough.” She wanted a plus size line that was just as sexy as the standard line, so she decided to create a line by not changing the piece itself, but adjusting the cut of the piece so that it was comfortable and flattering.
