Style Your Shape Videos: Personal Swimwear Styling in Your Own Home

Tuesday 27 March 2012

Want to know how movie stars and celebrities always look fabulous in swimwear on the beach or by the pool? They have personal stylists who give them specific advise on the right swimwear to style their shape.

To help you look like a movie star this summer, AussieSwimStore.com has just released a series of videos to guide every woman to make the right swimwear choices this summer. These innovative, practical videos are free to view on our Style Your Shape Video page.

Balconette tops, hidden underwires, control panels, ruching. The experts at AussieSwimStore.com know that these are the savvy woman’s secret weapons in selecting the perfect swimwear to style their shape. 

‘I think every woman knows that sinking feeling when they stand in front of the mirror in a swimsuit that’s not right for them,’ says AussieSwimStore.com’s Lisa McDonald. ‘This season, we decided enough is enough. We decided to produce the ultimate in professional advice to make the most of every shape: videos with advice from a professional stylist that look at style, feature, colour and design.’

McDonald, a veteran of 25 years in the swimwear industry, knows the secrets of styling of every shape and size. ‘The advances in swimwear design and construction over the past few years have been monumental,’ McDonald says. ‘We have more design features at our disposal, but the principal remains the same: draw attention to the fabulous bits and camouflage the bits you’re not so crazy about.’

The free videos cover the main figure concerns shared by women all over the world: maximizing the small bust, minimising the larger bust, trimmy the tummy, trimming the bottom and supporting the DD+ bust. The styling tips are easy to understand and demonstrated on a variety of models of all shapes and sizes. ‘At AussieSwimStore.com, we believe that every woman’s body is beautiful,’ McDonald says. ‘And by having the right information, women can choose the perfect swimsuit so they feel confident and gorgeous this summer.’

Workshop: For The Bootilicious Babes

Friday 11 November 2011

We’ve all heard the phrase ‘not all (wo)men are created equal’ and this has never been more true than when considering the issue of derrieres, some ladies being endowed with just a little more junk in their trunk than others. But if you (like myself) identify with the likes of the beautiful Beyonce or the curvaceous Kim Kardashian, never fear! Aussie Swim Store is here with some helpful pointers in how to make sure that sexy behind is ready to strut its stuff to the envy of all your fellow beach-goers.

The cardinal rule in swimwear for bootilicious babes is ‘less is more.’ Ladies with bigger behinds instinctively go for fuller styles such as boylegs in an attempt to cover their curves, but this only serves to draw more attention to the area and make it look bigger than it really is.

For a modest, but still flattering look, try our range of brief bottoms, . Another tip for choosing swimwear for the shapely is to buy the right size for your figure. No-one but you cares about the number on the tag, so always go with the size that is nice and firm, but not cutting into your sides. That uncomfortable muffin top is only going to ruin the line of your beautiful curves, so embrace your shape this summer and always remember the wisdom passed down to us by Sir Mix-a-Lot who said it best… “I like big butts and I cannot lie!”

WorkShop: D / DD Cups

Tuesday 26 July 2011

Embrace Your Shape

Shopping for large breasted women isn't as fun as some smaller breasted women might think. There is the all too common frustration of trying on 'trend' clothing (mind you, mostly designed to fit B cups), and finding that the seam runs across the middle of the chest instead of sitting underneath, where it belongs. Horizontal seams are in many cases, large breasted women's worst nightmare... And it's at times like these, when bigger breasted women must repeat the all important mantra: 

"I am the envy of my friends and the desire of many men! I am the envy of my friends and the desire of many men!"

Well now there is something even more inspiring for bigger breasted women to consider when embarking on their next shopping expedition: Embrace Your Shape and make it work for you!

We have listed below the most fabulous rules to follow if you wish to flatter a fuller chest area, choose:

  • Underwire styles that will shape and support
  • Halter Bra's,  banded underneath specifically designed for DD cups
  • Power mesh lining
  • Small prints and dark colours help to minimise
  • Over the shoulder straps
  • Cross over features at the centre front will lift the bust
  • Sweetheart shape necklines
  • Square necklines
  • V necklines, and
  • Boning at the sides for extra support

It's that simple, rules of thumb that every woman should be made aware of. To help our loyal readers and website browsers a step further, we have even created a shopping section just for you, featuring our top suggested styles for D / DD cups. Hand selected by our buyers and editors, designed to flatter you. Click here to browse now!

Embrace Your Shape

Wednesday 10 November 2010

Here at Aussie Swim we hear women's frustrations, first hand and on a day-to-day basis. Shopping is indeed a struggle of its own... but, SWIMWEAR SHOPPING! Just those words have us running for the hills. We have come to think, that rather than running for the cover of the canopy in the hills, women should be embracing their shape and soaking up beautiful, balmy days in swimwear designed to fit and flatter their bodies.

As a part of Aussie Swims latest initiative, we will be workshopping the most prominent issues women face when purchasing swimwear. Keep checking back to the blog regularly for tips, advise and product suggestions, tailor made to flatter your figure.
