Flattering swimwear
Make it no. 1 on your list!

In the past I've worn tummy control swimsuits but my elderly figure needs more help!

I looked at Miraclesuit Swimwear for ages (available both sides of the Atlantic) and eventually I succumbed. The slogan and the amazing reviews worked for me:

Look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds! 

I would slightly change the logo to read '20 seconds" because it took a bit of wriggling into. Yes they're expensive but my word do they work!!!

I love my swimsuit and have just bought my second Miraclesuit for my upcoming holiday (but don't tell my husband!). It discovers the waist I thought I'd lost!  

They say the exclusive fabric plus an innovative bra support delivers 3 times the control of other swimwear.

Draw attention to the top of your body with color and/or design.

Accentuate the bustline with pre-shaped or padded cups and wide apart shoulder straps for a pretty cleavage. If you need additional padding choose under-wired.

Tummy control will help to control your hips/tummy and the cross-over style accentuates your more slender waist.   

Avoid halter necks which will narrow your shoulder line and accentuate your hips.

Midriff bulge / Muffin top

A swimsuit with detachable straps is usually cut much higher at the back. This controls any back fat and completely streamlines your torso eliminating a muffin top.

The centre panel in this one-piece creates a slimming optical illusion.

Don't forget you can easily add the straps for more confidence.  

Straight body little waist

Add some feminine curves and softness to a straight figure - rounded patterns and prints mould the figure and accentuate shape.

This swimsuit adds shape and enhances the bust area and the waist is gently sculpted. 

You're likely to have very good legs, show them off with a high leg line.

Broad Shoulders

Broad shoulders, good legs and an athletic looking figure - perfect for showing off in a swimsuit.

Wider and more widely spaced shoulder straps are in balance with your wider shoulders. Thin spaghetti straps would make them look wider still!

Avoid halter necks which will accentuate the shoulders.

Support a Full Bust

A heavy bust doesn't always go with a full figure but needs good support. Choose a swimsuit that comes with an innovative bra support system.

This pretty printed swimsuit is specifically designed with a fuller cup and wider shoulder straps for comfort, support and added confidence.

Full figure

This pretty design boasts full figure control with high back coverage. 

Wide shoulder straps give excellent support and show off a good bustline to advantage. A wider neckline visually slims the rest of the body so look for good waist definition and full tummy control. 

For a more relaxed fit choose one size up. 

Long body

If your top and bottom are different sizes then a tankini gives the same kind of flexibility as a bikini but with more coverage.

If you find swimsuits too short in the body this is a comfortable solution. 

This surplice tankini top has undewired 'sized' cups, a swingy shape and smooth fabric that beautifully flatters the figure with less restriction. 

Tankini Bottoms

Tankini bottoms comes in various styles for whatever amount of coverage that makes you feel comfortable - from a basic waist high bikini bottom to a swimskirt.  

Smoothes out the stomach and provides a solid base for any type of top with tummy control spandex to lengthen your torso.  

One pair of bottoms, which are extremely quick-drying, could team with a couple of different colored tops allowing you to mix and match
