Troublesome tummies and women usually go hand in hand. Post pregnancy, hormonal changes, just simply getting older. The list is endless and few are immune. Taming that tummy with swimwear that fits right, is the ticket to living your best summer. Onepiece, tankini, swimdresses... these simple tips apply to them all!
Tummy control swimwear is helpful, sure. But these tips take it further. Girls, it comes down to 3 simple things. We're going to get down and RAP!
R - Ruching. A - Angles. P - Print.
*Ruching: is absolutely perfect for concealing a tummy. The gentle folds help hide what lies beneath; unlike a 'flat' fabric that hugs every contour. Tankini's (a two piece that looks like a onepiece; also called a singlet top bikini) or a Onepiece with ruching are the ticket.
*Angles: are great for 'breaking up the belly' and creating a waist. Diagonal lines are the best. A fabulously effective diagonal is one that extends from your shoulder, through your boobs down to your waist. Meeting at your waist, actually helps to create the illusion that you have one; so handy, very flattering. Think 'the wrap dress'. Eternally stylish. So successful, Diane Von Furstenburge has built an empire on it!. Some tankini's and fullpieces have ruching that angles down to meet at the waist. Two for one...fabulous!
*Prints: are the masters of disguise. The simple reason being, that your eyes don't know where to focus. Less focus, no notice!
The golden rule for prints is to keep the proportions right for your size. The taller and bigger you are, the bigger the print can be. Smaller in stature then a smaller print works best.
A placement print is a great print, with a fabulous trick. A large, single print placed to one side and centred at the waist will also help to create the illusion of a waist. Again, it's an eye focus thing, proportion and balance. Let's not get too mathematical though!
So there you have it girls! Don't just leave the rapping to those younger folk. Start RAPping and start living your perfect summer!
Oh, One final, top tip to RAP up with! These 3 simple rules apply whenever you are buying kaftans or any other summer clothes for that matter. They're not just hot tips for swimwear. Look for ruching, angles and prints whenever you shop and you'll be on the right track, for belly beautiful dressing.
