Find the Right Swimsuit

We did some research on the best suits for different shaped figures, and though most of us have perfect bodies (ha!), we thought we'd share our findings.

Large Bust? Whether you're nursing or just plain busty, you can minimize your overflowing cups with wide straps on your swimsuit or bikini. Halter-top bikinis can be a good choice by offering support, while providing some sexy cleavage too.

Small bust? Ah! The freedom of the small bust! Look for tops with a touch of padding, or an under wire, demi-bra style that makes the most beautiful, dainty bust line. You are very lucky that you have the body to wear those cute, ruffled tops that are so hot right now, so go for it! And for the bandeau tops, only you can wear those well.

Small bust? You can also show off in those tiny, tri-tops that the big busted girls only dream about.

Too Much Tummy? If you are self conscious about your tummy try one of those fabulous, tummy, control panel, swimsuits. If you are going for a two-piece swimsuit, then check out the tankinis that are on the fashion scene today. They cover just enough, but you still have the freedom and hip factor of a bikini.

Too Much Tummy? A one-piece in a solid color can also help conceal. Avoid too much fabric. Modesty is certainly OK, but too much coverage is not necessarily a better option.

Big on Bottom? The newest, mini-skirted bikinis are too cute and made just for you! Don't go for a super frilly one, though. Instead pick a smooth, skimming skirt that is short and sweet, but covers what it needs to. A ruffled or highly decorated top is OK though. The details will draw attention to your top half.
