No curves? Look for wraps, gathering, shirring or twisted panels around the midsection to create the illusion of a more defined waist.

Small bust...small waist...fuller thighs? Choose a tankini with slightly molded cups or hidden padding for natural-looking fullness.

Big bust...fuller midsection...slimmer legs? Look for underwire support with a closure across your back for a balanced line.

Well proportioned...defined waist? Choose a one or two-piece suit with high-cut styling and asymmetrical or diagonal lines.
