- Do not buy a tankini: no belly coverage and the top usually hits at a bad place
- Try a maillot: it instantly creates a waist, disguises bulges, and is sexier than a string bikini
- No prints if you’re full-figured: they make you look bigger and stand out
- Choose a sophisticated color: leave neons and generally craziness to the young chicks; aim for youthful not young!
- No skirted suits: they make you look matronly; try a sarong or tunic!
- Choose higher-cut legs: they elongate the leg and make the thighs appear leaner
- Avoid boy shorts: they emphasize the butt….and stomach!
- Plus size suits require a little extra: focus on draping or ruching across the midsection, dark colors and a deep v-neck
- Shop for a new suit every other year: lost elasticity and pilling are unsightly!
- For B cups+, stick with structured tops: keeping the package tight is the right answer
