subject: Swimwear for the Petite Figure [print this page] Many people think that swimwear for the petite figure is easy to come, but ask a woman with a small frame and you'll soon learn it's not. Many petite women have lots of trouble trying to find that perfect bathing suit that fits (and is not located in the children's department).
The problem with regular-sized one piece swimsuits fitting properly is the bathing suit bunches up at the mid-section, or is simply too big. Bikinis will generally give the petite women less trouble since the bikini can fit no matter the height.
For one-piece suits, many women will most likely find themselves having to buy them from a petite section of a catalogue, but do not be disillusioned, there are more and more swimwear designers recognising the need for smaller sizes in bathers.
Where to Buy Swimwear for the Petite Frame?
You can shop for petite bathing suits through a catalogue; however, there are usually limited images available for the buyer to view. Another place where you can optimise the amount of swimsuits for purchase is at an online swimwear store.
Many websites that specialise in swimwear have dedicated sections for the petite frame and have plenty of images, so the buyer can make an informed decision. Many websites will offer easy exchanges and returns also.
Swimwear Designs for the Petite
If your petite frame is making it difficult to find that perfect
one-piece, there are a few different options for you to consider:
Tankinis These are great for petite women wanting to have the one-piece coverage as the top part looks similar to a singlet, which covers up the stomach. If it sits a bit longer that's OK. Because it is cut into two items, it won't show that gaping that a one-piece can.
Bikinis If you're looking for a bikini, but want a little bit more coverage than the normal triangle design, go for a fuller-style halter that offers thick banding below the bust and also has wider straps that tie around the neck. While it may not offer as much coverage as a one-piece, because it is being worn on a smaller frame, it will give the illusion of more skin being covered.
Swimsuits with Accessories for Petite Women
Besides your swimsuit, you may want to consider adding some accessories to complete your look. Many women combine their suit with a flowing skirt or sarong. This can give you the additional colour without shortening your torso simply position the skirt or sarong at your hips.
If you feel like covering your top half, consider wearing a knee length kaftan. They can be found in a great range of styles and colours and remember to choose one with a waist tie if you want to show off your shape.
