CURVY
Being a plus-size shouldn’t make swimwear tricky. Try slimming styles with tummy control and ruching.

PETITE
If you are petite, you should elongate your frame with a high-leg swimsuit. Add length with stripes or a one-piece with a low neckline. Keep the proportions small.

TOP-HEAVY
For a top-heavy figure, emphasise your lower half with a one-piece. Or try a strapless or one-shoulder suit to narrow your bust.
Busting out: Before the bikini looked ill-fitting on our model, left. The Speedo Sculpture, £35, johnlewis.com, right, is much more flattering

PEAR
Balance your body. A tankini will lengthen your torso, or colour blocking will give the illusion of a smaller body.

BOYISH
Boyish figures need to be given the appearance of curves. Get an hourglass shape by adding ruffles, frills and bows. A front tie will also add curves.
