How can I find a swimsuit that fits?
Fitting swimwear is more of a ‘science’ you might say than fitting regular clothing. With swimwear season almost here, you might want to save the time and headaches by having a professional fitter measure you and suggest the best styles and colors of swimwear for your body type. Remember all bodies do not fit in the same style of suit.
When purchasing a swimsuit both bra support and tummy control are very important features to look for. Remember when shopping for a swimsuit you do not have to give up style and fashion to have both control and support. Many designers offer style and fashion without sacrificing support and control. Also for those who need extra length the tankini is a perfect swimsuit. Prices vary but most start at about $60.00 and go up from there. Remember to complete your whole look with coordinating coolie hats that will also help block the sun from your face. Also, to accent your look even further choose a matching pareo.
Anyone having special needs such as alterations for Breast prosthesis is available; they will pocket the suits for you. Swim Breast Prosthesis are also available in various sizes. The Swim Breast is designed to be used in saunas, hot tubs, Jacuzzi, or hot mineral baths, whereas the regular silicone Breast prosthesis is not recommended for the hot tubs, Jacuzzis, or hot mineral baths.
Regardless of where you purchase your special swimsuit this summer, make sure you are comfortable with the fit. The person helping should also be compassionate, competent and knowledgeable to you.
The care of your suit is rather important because of the chlorine in swimming pools which will cut the elastic and your suit will wear out sooner than you’d like.
