Flatter Your Shape with the Best Swimsuit!
Take some time to measure your body shape before you venture out to buy that perfect swimsuit this summer season. The torso area must be measured from the center of your shoulder over the fullest part of your bust, down through your legs around to the back of the shoulder. The bust area should be measured around the fullest part of your bust and back keeping your arms at your side and the tape level. The waist is measured around the narrowest part of your waist, finding the natural indent with the tape. The hip area is measured with your legs together at the fullest part keeping the tape level.
Decide what swim suit leg style you prefer.
- The full shape gives modest cut offering the most coverage of your thighs and bottom
- The basic cut offers a full cut that is 1 ½ inches higher your full style
- The high cut will give you a style 2 ½ inches higher than your full cut and the illusion of longer legs.
