- Large busted women should follow a few simple style tips when shopping for a one-piece swimsuit. The most important thing to remember when shopping for a swimsuit is to choose a style that flatters your shape and not one that hides it. Dark colors and large prints are the best for large busted women. Choose a wrap-style swimsuit as it can create a well-defined waistline and give the illusion of a slimmer cleavage. At the same time, eyes are drawn away from the bust and towards the waist. Large busted women should also choose necklines that are plunging, v-neck or cowl neck style because these will elongate the figure and can make breasts appear smaller. Support is very important for a large bust and wide-strapped halter necks and underwire cups can provide you with the support that you need.
- For someone who has a big bust, there are some styles that should be avoided. Try to avoid horizontal stripes because they will actually make your breasts look larger. Another style that wouldn't be as flattering on a woman with a big bust are bandeau and spaghetti straps. These should be avoided because they can actually accentuate your breasts rather than minimize them. In addition, styles with ruching and ruffles can also make you appear to have larger breasts.
- There are a few swimsuit tips that small-busted women can follow to look flattering in a one piece swimsuit. Light-colored swimsuits and large prints can help pull the eyes away from the bust area. According to In Style magazine, if you have small breasts, you should choose swimsuits that have prints which follow the shape of your breasts to enhance the contours of your breast. If you want your bust to appear larger, you should choose a swimsuit with ruching around the breast area because it can create the illusion of a larger bust. Any swimsuit that is made with added fabric such as ruffles and ruching will make your breast appear larger. Another way to enhance the appearance of a small bust is to choose a swimsuit with padded cups to give you cleavage.
- If you have a small bust there really isn't much that you have to avoid except for tops with too much fabric or have a poor fit. If you choose a swimsuit with too much fabric on top, it can make you look ill-proportioned so make sure not to overdo the ruching and ruffles. A good fit on top for small breasted women is also important because you don't want to choose a swimsuit where that top is too big or maybe even too small for you. As a small breasted woman, fabric and fit are the two main things you should look for when shopping for a swimsuit.
