Summer is right around the corner, and that means it is time to start thinking about getting your self into a swimsuit. For me, as with many women, we all have parts about ourselves that we like, and possibly even more parts that we don’t! Here are my picks and a few pointers in picking out the right suit this summer.
Small Bust
♥ Bandeau tops and tops with padding (not too much of course!) create the image of a fuller bust.
♥ Tops with prints, lace, ruffles or other textures help the bust line appear larger.
Large Bust
♥ Halter Tops that have about an extra inch or so of fabric below the bust offer great support while still looking sexy.
♥ Under wire tops or built in cups are necessary for full support in one pieces.
Belly Pooch
♥ Look for a suit with detail near the top. A plunging neckline will draw eyes up and away from the tummy.
♥ Vertical stripes will elongate the torso, giving the appearance of a smaller stomach.
Large rump
♥ If you are a bit modest in your behind area, retro styles (or boy cut) are a great way to get more coverage.
♥ Depending on your shape you will want to make sure that the bottoms don’t end at the widest part of your tush. Instead opt for higher or lower cut bottoms.
No curves
♥ Adding weight or texture around the hips and bust area will create a more hourglass like appearance.
♥ Low cut bikini bottoms the rest low down on the hips widen the hips and make the waist appear more narrow.
♥ One pieces with a belt or print around the waist help narrow the waist.
♥ Don’t forget to move around in the suit a bit before buying. You don’t want a suit that won’t stay in place once you are out on the beach.
♥ When you are trying on a suit notice what catches your eye first. Is it a good thing, or a bad thing?
♥ Remember the perfect swimsuit should accentuate your good points and disguise the not so pleasant areas. Ordering swimsuit online is like buying bras online–don’t do it! You may have to try 20 suits on before you find the perfect fit. Don’t settle for anything less than fabulous.

another good idea for small bust is underwire tops, or solid bottoms with printed tops to draw the eye upward. =)

I’m definately in the large bust section but can’t wear halter tops cos it is too much weight for your neck to support.
