How to Find the Right Shaping Swimwear Fit
When shopping for shaping swimwear, it's important to consider that your swimwear size may differ slightly from your usual underwear size. Swimwear often fits more snugly, offering a tighter, body-contouring fit, whereas regular underwear is more about comfort. Typically, your swimwear size will be the same as your regular dress size, but it’s important to consult the brand’s size chart to find the perfect fit for your body.
Here are a few tips to help you find your best fit:
- Check your measurements: Be sure to measure your bust, waist, and hips before purchasing swimwear.
- Consider the fit: Some swimsuits offer a more supportive fit around the bust, while others may be designed to slim the waist or shape the thighs.
- Go for comfort: While shapewear swimwear provides support, it should never feel too tight or uncomfortable. The right fit should smooth your figure while allowing you to move freely.
