Tips & Warnings

• Pear shaped bodies should look for wrap tops, V necklines, darker bottoms with lighter tops. You want to down play your hips and bottom and accentuate your bust line.

• Apple shaped bodies should look for vertical stripes and extra control fabrics. The vertical lines will elongate the torso and define the waist, giving a slimming look.

• Shorter people may want to look for a high cut leg which will lengthen the legs helping them to appear taller and thinner.

• Curvy people may want to look for a supportive material, skirt bottomed bathing suit as this will give ample coverage and support.

• Finding the most flattering style bathing suit may lead to fun times, happiness & self confidence!
