Swimwear experts Seaspray choose the best swimsuits for your body shape

 See below suggestions by swimwear experts Seaspray on choosing the best swimwear from their range for your body shape (plus a few of my own)

Agree:  Deep v necklines  always flatter the bigger bust and having wide straps is a must for support.
Not sure:  Must admit I would go for an underwired cup for the larger bust for more support.
Love: the patterns. Patterns usually draw the eye to that area, but if it is an all over pattern then it balances itself out.
Best swimwear: Matinique for its ruching at the sides. The outline of the panels also creates a smaller hour flass figure and waist - very Hollywood glamour!

 

Agree:  Halter necks and strapless bandeau necklines widen the shoulders so balance the hips/shoulder ratio.
Not sure:  Skirted swimsuits are great for slimming down the hips as long as they are skater style, So not sure of the skirt on the polka dots as it looks too figure hugging..
Love: the light colours. We're usually drawn to darker colours as usually more slimming. However for the lighter colours will draw the eye to the actual swimsuit and away from the hips. .
Best swimwear: Tobago for its plunging halter neckline and gorgeous aqua colour - super Riviera chic.

Agree:  Control panels are great to help keep the tummy in and ruching to help hide any lumps and bumps.
Not sure:  although the draped front of the Mauritius brings the waist in, it may also draw the eye to the tummy area rather than away from it. Would go for lots of slim ruching rather than one big ruche.
Love: the knotted twisted pleating on the bust. It draws the eye to the bust and away from the tummy.
Best swimwear: Fiji for is subtle front ruching and also the side panel seams create the illusion of a slimmer torso. The twisted folds on the bust also draws the eye upwards.- Fun and flirtatious

How to choose one piece swimwear for your body shape.

Karen from Frumpy to Funky, an image consultancy firm, gives helpful tips on how to choose a one piece swimsuit for several different body types.

How To Choose One Piece Swimwear
Now, I'm going to talk to you about how to choose a one piece swimwear. It gives more coverage than a bikini and it can flatter your assets and it can camouflage your imperfections. So, you do need to get it right.

Take for instance this bandeau swimsuit. It's great for the pear shape because it brings all the attention to the top. But it's not good for the inverted triangle, which is when you have broad shoulders or a larger bust and slim hips, because it broadens the shoulders and brings all the detail attention here. But for pear shapes, it's a great style.

Now for the larger busted lady, you really do need to have underwired cups because it supports the bust and it gives a better shape. Lots of Lycra as well, if you have a tummy that you want to hold in, if you get a swimsuit, one piece, with lots of Lycra, that gives you more of a waist as well. This one has an integrated bra which is excellent for the larger busted lady, it gives extra support and also it has a high back for extra support. If you have a low back and it's still underwired, it will still give you some support but you can be prone to actually fall out of the underwired cup. The straps here are thicker again giving more support and it's good for the broad shouldered lady because it actually breaks the shoulder up and makes them look smaller.

Now, if you have a skinny or a boyish frame, wearing patterns is good because it adds bulk. If you don't want to wear patterned or you don't want to wear an underwire, have more attention where you want the emphasis. This is here around the bust area so we actually create a fuller bust. You can also have it down here if you want to have more attention on the hips. So, wherever you want to have the attention, have the frills and bows.

And if you're a serious swimmer, then this one piece suit's excellent. It's more streamlined silhouette, it's good for less drag in the water for the serious swimmers and also, it has the all important racer-back which keeps the straps in place so they're not going to be falling off you while you're active in the water.

And that's how you choose a one piece swimwear
