Swimsuit Season Is Here ~ Cover Up ... Or Not

Is it written somewhere a woman needs to have a 36-24-36 figure to be considered a bathing beauty? The majority of us feel as though we should because of the standards society has set over the years. However, the majority of us know ... tis a fallacy.

84% of American women look exactly like our aunt, mother, cousin, sister and neighbor. We all have flaws whether it be in our personality or, physique. How we project and feel about ourselves can make a dramatic difference. Now that bathing suit season is well approaching, that unsettling feeling is beginning to rise to the surface.

Happily, designers are using wonderful new fabrics, which do fabulous tricks with the flaws most of us are born with. Nylon tricot offers a smooth-fitting elegance next to your skin. It's sleek and supple, offering a four-way stretch and doesn't gap. Whatever illusion you want to create, swimsuits today are designed to help fulfill it.
 
To enhance your waist and minimize your tummy, try soft diagonal, criss-cross lines and vertical lines. Swim dresses are a great creation as they conceal problem areas like hips, upper thighs and buttocks. A delicately scalloped neckline and thin lingerie straps will draw attention to the bustline. Skirting is not only soft & flowing but, usually comes in attractive slimming colors and patterns to help hide upper thighs. 
                
Soft cups provide shaping and support. Molded cups give extra shaping to fuller busts and more definition to smaller one's. Stripes above the waist will also draw the eye up, but only good for small chests.  Also if you're top heavy, look for bright insets of color at the hips to balance your figure or princess seaming to create unbroken, vertical lines. A one piece mailot with zipper front will create a slimming vertical by subtracting inches from your bust.
                    
Colors shed pounds: basic black, navy, camel, melon, banana, ivory, white and soft pastels. Canary yellow, fuschia, lime green, bright loud colors, huge floral patterns, plaids and stripes will add pounds on.
 
Summer is a time to enjoy the outdoors. So do it! People you are with will find you attractive if you are confident with who you are, not what size you wear. It's the attitude you project and a vibrant personality that makes people want to be around you.
