Easy painless choice rich bathing suit shopping for women with curves Had the most professional painless bathing suit shopping experience at Big Sun Beachwear. I am a 4/6 BUT have big curves on a smaller body AND don't want to look matronly or black and boring. Had lots of selection in the DDepartment and new suits have very adjustable straps which are amazing plus selection of colours, shapes, sizes are all very fashion forward and gorgeous. I was very lucky to roll in and have someone available to assist with sizes and selection and what I thought I wanted. I left with 2 suits that could be mixed and matched with each other and what I had at home. Quality, service, selection, fashionably, friendly, painless, highly recommend read more

I love this place! The staff is amazing... super friendly and helpful. They have an amazing selection of the coolest clothes/beachwear/ and gifts. I tan here and shop here regularly. Always a huge welcome, feels more like visiting friends than going to an appointment read more

Very mediocre tanning salon. Dust all over the ceiling fans, unprofessional and unfriendly.

Nice store and the atmosphere is upbeat BUT it's not affordable for the average person who lives in the Okanagan!!

I've never been in here... but my friends love the end of the year sales this place has... (I'm more trift store end of the year sales LOL) It is also open all year round ... and I heard it sells swimming gear all year 2!!! read more

This seems to be the only gig in Vernon for bathing suits much to my surprise a lot made in Asia. A couple of suits from Australia. I had recently bought a suit went to Mexico used it for 4 days to find a hole in it. Big Sun was quick to respond with a store credit great service. Would like to see more suits for the top heavy lady. read more

This place is unreal!! The staff are super friendly and very helpful! They have such a huge selection of everything you need for summer. Simply THE best tanning and clothing store in the okanagan! read more

Extremely disappointed. Especially with all the good reviews. This is not the place to go if you're from out of town visiting. I went in for a drop in tan. I've been tanning all week at Iron Gym but wanted a high power bed as I was not achieving the level of darkness I wanted there. They told me I could only go for a 6 min tan. I don't care how high powered your bed is, 6 mins. for me would not be enough. A waste of money and time, I think. I didn't appreciate being treated like a child. I'm 31 and I know my skin. She really pissed me off when she stated that all tanning places won't let you tan for the time I want because I've never been there before. Well... this encounter is a first time for me, I've never had someone dictate my time like that before and guess what, I went down the street to another place and went in for 15 mins like I wanted. No stress. No hassle. So fuck you! Hahaha JK Just really annoyed! read more

If you hate shopping for a swimsuit as much as I do, then you have to check this place out. They have tonnes of suits in stock and their staff really knows their stuff. They are all friendly and offer a professional fitting to make sure you leave happy. I have been able to buy a great suit both in the middle of summer and in the dead of winter in time for our vacation. My husband goes here for a quick shot of sunshine in the winter when he's miserable ( Seasonal Affective) and he really likes their beds. read more

This place rocks!! The girls are super helpful and very honest about what works or doesn't work for you. I also love how excited the girls who work there get when you try on an outfit thy looks good on you!! read more

Hi Lisa!! Just a shout-out to the fabulous ladies at your store for helping My daughter find several fantastic swimsuits the other day. We walked out with so many great mix-and-match pieces that she looooves and feels so great in---no small feat for a self conscious teenager who doesn't quite know yet what to do with her burgeoning body! She was grinning from ear to ear when we left your store and said, "I love that store! Those ladies are so helpful." So, thanks hon!!! Not only did you help My son win his local and district science fair (by letting him use your tanning bed for his UV light/sunscreen experiment), but you're also our go-to swimsuit destination. We love you guys! read more
