Swimwear: Small Bottom Half (straight and flat hips/tums/bums) 08
Written by chameleonfridays on July 7th, 2008This is very difficult to shorten as truly everyones shape and colouring are different, advice is best tailored to the individual. That said, here are some fast figure fixes for beach body confidence this summer;
Small bottom half (straight and flat hips/tums/bums) – assuming you want to create curves for these areas, the aim is create width. String bikinis actually work for you as they generally can rest just above your hip bone and not dig into the flesh. You can also carry lots of pattern, try floral patterns (key this season) to make the whole area less boyish. Ruffles are great, adding extra width to the body and shiny fabrics always increase size. Try halter neck top halves as they will create a curve lower down and try to keep straps and patterns in proportion, not so large they make you look smaller.
Most shops are suitable for you, but like advice for a smaller bust try Miss Selfridge and Top Shop as they normally carry more embellishment and fashion suits. This season most of the trends are available to you, try a mono-kini (following top half advice) or the metallic trend, gold being most fashion forward. Florals also work as they are feminine and nautical is great if you use horizontal stripes. Those who wish to keep their bottom half looking small, follow advice for large bottom half.
