I shape – horizontal stripes will give you more curves
A shape – darker bottom and lighter top will balance your booty.

X shape – enhance your curves with a suit that draws the eye upwards

H shape – look for built in waist shaping or a cross-over design

V shape – lighter bottom and darker top and halternecks all flatter.

8 shape  - your classic shape was born for 50s retro swimwear and anything that highlights your waist.

O shape – look for built in waist support and contouring.  A boy leg offers more coverage.

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.
