One of our Style at 60 community has asked:

“I have a large bust and a very rounded tummy.  What swimwear would suit me best?”  -Carolyn Byrne

Carolyn, this is something most of us can relate to! I think it is very important as we get older to get swimwear that supports us in all the right places – and the bust and tummy are at the top of my list!

All attention will be drawn to the vibrantly printed bodice in this style – making any tummy concerns magically disappear!

Large Bust

For a large bust I would look for swimwear with the following features:

• wide adjustable straps
• moulded bra cups
• ensure that the bust area is lined and has plenty of support
• boning and built-in underwire
• A tie up in the front – so that you can adjust the amount of coverage
• A v-neck, deep scoop or sweetheart neckline are best – avoid high necklines and halter necks unless they have some sheer panelling to create the illusion of the before mentioned necklines
• a twisted front design

Rounded Tummy

For tummy support I would look for:

• Rouching across the tummy or the side seams
• Power mesh lining in the tummy area
• Empire line styles

Now there is no excuse to not be poolside this summer, Carolyn!
