Ashley Graham has never been shy with her cleavage.
That's why it came as no surprise when she revealed her third collection with Swimsuits For All, and every single suit was one big showcase for ~the girls~. Being a couple of big breasted women ourselves, we took on the challenge of trying every single one to see just how supportive — or free flying — Graham's new suits actually are.
Jovanna and I began with the Meknes Underwire Swimsuit in our true size, 16.
Like most of the suits in this collection, the Meknes ($71, Swimsuits For All) is available from size 4 to 22.
The beaded detail in the center cutout made her feel sexy but still covered all the important bits.

That being said, she didn't feel it did her breasts any favors. "They weren't crazy flattering but it was still cute," she said.
The best part of it all, though, was how fuss-free it was to get on and move around in.

Graham got bonus points with us for picking colors, this turquoise for instance, that are flattering on almost every skin tone.
And I had to agree with all of those points, but especially the one about the suit's comfort level.
As far as boobs go, this one certainly put them out on display, but not enough that you're afraid to move. Let's just say that if I were to wear this suit on the beach, I wouldn't think twice about chasing down any rogue volleyballs.
At 5'11" with a long torso, I rarely find one-piece suits that don't pull at my shoulders and backside — until now.
WHAT A RELIEF.
Next, Jovanna gave the Sahara Bikini a spin in a size 16 top and bottom.
This bikini ($64, Swimsuits For All), for some reason, only runs from sizes 4 to 18, making it an outlier of the collection.
Though she adored the bright pink hue and bow details, Jovanna felt this suit just didn't work for her body type.
"The bottoms were cut very low, and I needed help getting the top tied correctly," she said. "This one's definitely for smaller girls."
"It's so cute, but I just don't think it fits properly on me — I felt *too* exposed."
I tried on the Taza Underwire Bikini in a size 16 C/D top and 16 bottom hoping for better luck, and I GOT IT.
This bikini ($67, Swimsuits For All) has bottoms in sizes 4 through 22 and tops ranging from 6 C/D to 22 E/F.
When I saw the perfectly mismatched color scheme on Graham's Instagram, I practically screamed. Wearing it in this moment, I felt pretty validated for my reaction.
This suit is definitely better for smaller-chested plus-size babes. The cups were supportive and comfortable but not very deep, even for a C/D.
While the first one-piece flaunted the breasts by squishing them down a little bit, this one makes 'em feel like they're floating at just the right height. Like a… like a breast hammock, almost. Great for my size C queens, but questionable for someone else my size with anything bigger than that.
The high-cut bottoms with the knotted front detailing gets a full-blown chef's kiss. True to size, covering, comfortable — 10/10 would wear in public.
Jovanna had a LOT of opinions about the Marrakesh Bikini in size 16 on top and bottom.
The Marrakesh ($67, Swimsuits For All) also comes in sizes 6 through 22.
"The bottoms here were very similar to the Sahara but gave me a little more coverage, which I liked a lot," she said.
"After my discomfort in the Sahara, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this looked on me, but the top was a little confusing and also required spare hands."
Jovanna thought the fit was a little off until she realized she could adjust the top string via this detailing on the left side.
No one on this photoshoot had ever even SEEN a swimsuit with this kind of detail. No wonder it took four people and about five minutes to figure it out. This suit was the very definition of unique.
Overall, Jovanna decided she would've felt more comfortable if the bikini tops were offered in a G cup size.
"This bikini also might be a better fit for someone with a smaller bust," she said.
The second I tried on the edgy, all-black Casablanca Monokini in size 16, I knew I'd found my favorite.
The Casablanca ($71, Swimsuits For All) comes in size 4 through 22 and is extremely My Personal Brand.
I found the corset-tie front on this suit genius because it gave me the option to put my best lady friends on full display or tie them all the way up for coverage and support.
Of all the suits I tried from the collection, my breasts felt most comfortable — and sexiest — in the Casablanca.
I was intimated by how complicated the back of this suit looked before I stepped into it — getting it on did require some help.
But it was worth it for that back view, eh? This suit, despite its complications, looked best from the back on me, I felt.
Needless to say, I felt pretty damn good in it.
Watch and learn, other brands, because this is Pandering To Nicola 101 right here.
The exact same went for Jovanna in the Tangier Swimsuit in size 16.
Also in sizes 4 to 22, the Tangier ($71, Swimsuits For All) made all of us, Jovanna included, shout "DAMN" once it was on.
"I had NO complaints," she said. "In fact, I looked fire."
And she was right. This suit, unlike a few others, was perfectly cut for someone with a bigger bust — the string detailing that held the suit together at the front, she thought, was what made this suit both revealing and safe for movement.
"I felt sexy AND covered."
Jovanna also had to address the turquoise details, which she felt elevated this from a basic animal print suit to something unique and fashionable.
Lastly, I tried the Zagora Bikini in a size 16 on top and bottom.
The Zagora ($67, Swimsuits For All) also comes in — you guessed it — sizes 4 through 22.
I had reservations about this suit because string tops they cooperate with my boobs, which do this very cute thing where they kind of try to run away from one another? If the Taza Bikini's top was a boob hammock, the Zagora's was a swing set.
The girls looked and felt just fine, I just wouldn't go running on the beach in this any time soon.
Everyone at the shoot fawned over this dangling jewelry in the smack dab middle of the string top.
Which, I have to admit, was another feature I'd never really seen on a plus-size swimsuit.
But my favorite part was THOSE MESH SIDES, THO.
These panels were just big enough that they didn't feel pointless, but not so large that I felt I was naked.
The final verdict? This collection is a MAJOR improvement from Graham's past ones — especially when it comes to accurate sizing.
They might be designed for someone with a similar hourglass shape to Graham's, but that definitely shouldn't stop you from wearing any of these suits with pride. We had zero issues finding our correct sizes, but bustier babes might feel more comfortable in the collection's one pieces or underwire top choices thanks to their added support.
Claps for you, Graham — these suits get more and more fire every year.
