Swimwear & Body Shape

In over 25 years experience fitting real women from all over the world, Sue Rice has worked out that the most flattering swimsuits are those which support, hide or divert the observers eye away from the perceived problem area.

Below are 6 of the most common body types.


large busts
Large busts need extra-strong support:
  • underwire or
  • softer control-mesh shaping, and
  • coverage at the side-armhole
so that you're not spilling out. Click to go to the Bust Support Shop now.

average bodies

Average bodies have that enviable well–proportioned bodyshape, usually similar measurements for bust and hips.

We have lots of styles to suit you. Check out our One Piece Shop by clicking on the image at left. Also check out our Bikini Shop and Tankini Shop for more suggestions.


Hippy GirlsHippy girls need a few tricks and optical illusions to bring balance to the figure.

You can do this by directing the eye of the observer to your figure assets, by using some clever styling tricks.

Click and hop into the Hip Shop for some ideas.


Long bodies

Long bodies want swimsuits that don’t ride up or pull down on the shoulders. This is not only uncomfortable but it tends to flatten the bust too.

Of course, any two–piece (bikini or tankini) would be suitable.

Click here to discover some solutions to these problems.


Smaller busted

Smaller busted girls young or more mature, tend to want to be fuller or boosted up to give the illusion of a larger bust. Padded cups and gathering can help give the illusion you are after. Alternatively, a sleek unpadded style can look great.

Click to go to the Small Bust Shop for suggestions.


Soft tummies

Soft and/or big tummies go hand in hand with life and it’s changes. Many women say that their tummies have never been the same since they had children. But don’t despair...help is at hand.

Plus Size Swimwear


As we've been discussing, purchasing a new swimsuit can be nothing short of a trial. If you wear a plus size, then the process is just so much harder, because there really isn't a lot of swimwear out there which fits and (shock horror) you might actually like.


We completely understand this, which is why we have a Plus Size Shop on our website, dedicated to swimwear for size 18+


We have just created a new tankini set called Betty+Brie, which is one of our best plus size designs to date. With a gorgeous long, loose top and high pants with extra panelling this swimsuit was designed based on feedback we've had from you and fitted on many of our fabulous plus size clients who all agree that it is the most flattering piece they've ever worn.

Betty+Brie is the first swimsuit we've ever made in a 24, we hope you love her!


Check Betty+Brie out here.

Top 10 Swimsuit Shopping Tips


Congratulations!

You have decided to embark on a devastatingly painful, heartbreaking, humiliating, alcohol & binge-eating inducing, relationship & soul destroying, sweaty gymnastics of body contortionism that is selecting your new summer swimsuit.

Seriously, we get it. I'm not kidding. WE GET IT! Buying a swimsuit isn't fun. It is worse than buying jeans, which is universally awful.

It was recently when a woman told me that she had spent longer deliberating over her last swimwear purchase than she did over BUYING A CAR. And it was then that I thought...ENOUGH!
