Swimwear tips by imogenl featuring bandeau bikinis
Want longer legs? Look for a higher cut leg.
Small bust – from padding to strapless, extra horizontal detail or other embellishments work for you.
Large bust – to avoid the mono-boob look, find a swimsuit that has built in underwire to keep your girls lifted and separated. Check out Bravissimo for some great options if you need that extra support.
