Within 24 hours you'll receive an email outlining the correct size and style for you with links to items on the website, so you'll be able to find out more about the pieces of swimwear. It is such a quick and simple solution and will save time and money. If you don't require our assistance via the 'size matters' service, that's OK, here a few top tips to consider when buying your swimwear this season.
FAB FIT:
To achieve a fab fit begin by measuring your body before you start shopping. Compare your measurements to the bathing suit size charts for each designer.
TOP TIPS:
* A well-fitting bathing suit will usually be a size larger than your clothing/dress size.
* If possible, try on several suits before making your final decision.
BEND and STRETCH: Go on - lift your arms, do some stretches, bend and sit down in the bathing suit to test that everything stays in place while you are wearing it. Check for any slack in the seat area signaling that you are wearing a suit that is too big also if there are any indentations in the skin this should alert you to choose a size larger - muffin tops are never a good look!.

STRAPS:
Make sure your straps fits snuggly. If they slip down it's a sure indication the bathing suit is too big. If the straps cut into your shoulders then it is too small.
CUPS:
This is personal preference - you may want to have: a sexy fit or moderate or full coverage. It goes without saying that if you are large chested it is a good idea to wear bikini top with some support either via under-wired cups or via wider straps and a support band under the bust.
Waistbands are not always relevant when buying swimwear other than if you plan to wear a tankini, so the next thing to think about is:
HIPS AND LEGS:
A tie side bikini or monokini is great for getting a perfect fit with your swimwear. Which ever style you choose (to include a onepiece suit) you should aim for a snug fit on the top of your legs. Watch out for any puckering of material. Test the edges and bands by pulling them out a little and seeing how quickly they snap back into place.

FINALLY: take a look over your shoulder at your derriere while trying on the bathing suits. Make sure you are happy with the cover you'll achieve, especially if you do not want to expose your cheeks! Many Latin brands are known for scrunch and Brazilian bottoms which expose the cheeks. Feel free to email for advice: enquiries@sandstormluxury.com
