Figure flaw: Larger mid-section

Suit fix: A one-piece suit with a wrap-around portion or asymmetrical detailing around the middle distracts the eye into seeing a slimmer waistline. Another good figure fixer is ruching – a technique where fabric is gently gathered – which further disguises a rounded stomach because the extra fabric softens the area.

Stay away from: A one-piece with horizontal stripes of any size – the stripes will only make you look wider. It’s also best to steer clear of any styles with belts or ties that cut across the stomach.
