"It's Amy Ellars here with Expert Village here to let you know how to wear a swimsuit for your type of body. I'm just sort of giving you some tips on the types of bottoms, tops, different sizes shapes for your type of body. A long body. A longer body, you're very lucky. You can wear the tiny little bottom and the tiny top. Go for great texture like velvet, different nappy fabrics. Also, you can do the embellishments such as here. I have little flowers. It's a leather string rather than your normal nylon string. Same as on the bottom. Also, great colors, fabrics, stripes. You can pretty much do anything. One thing to avoid is horizontal stripes. Also, most one-piece bikinis aren't great for long bodies. With a long body, one thing that you need to avoid is solid colors. You already do have a great body and I know a lot of things do look great on you, but solid colors do bring you down. One thing as well is I know you might tend to have a boyish figure because you're very long and skinny. Try and go for some ruffles, bows, different types of embellishments. Here are the embellishments. This is a leather strap. It has little flowers on it. It kind of just brings the eye up and something new for your swimsuit. Kind of girly your suit up a little bit and make it your own style. Just have a great time. Wear your bathing suit, have fun in the sun, and enjoy it."
