The fashionable return of the one-piece swimwsuit is good news for the more generously proportioned 30, 40 and 50-somethings, as they cover up a little more skin. Whilst one-piece swimsuits are certainly more modest than an itsy-bitsy bikini, that doesn’t mean that they have to be frumpy and mummy-like.
In fact, quite the opposite, this year, as the trend is for sexy cuts, with today’s swimwear designers producing heart-stopping swimsuits which offer both coverage and sex appeal. Whilst micro-bikinis will still be touted on the beaches by those teens and 20-somethings with figures-to-die for, it is time to consider more modest, but alluring swimwear, which enhances the figure rather than exposes too much of it.
One such brand is Miraclesuit, of the USA. The Miraclesuit is a rare breed in swimwear. The brand actually delivers on its promises. The Miraclesuit claims “to make you look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds,” and it does! Not only that but you don’t have to pay the earth, as this magical beachwear is priced at around $120-$150.
What is the Miraclesuit?
With specially enhanced lycra, named Miratex® , the Miraclesuit provides three times the support of normal swimwear. These one-pieces and tankinis are the equivalent of swimsuit-shapewear, holding you in but are very stylish too. They feel as snug as a corset and offer you the greatest of support, making you walk tall and with confidence, without fear of unsightly bulges.
The success of the Miraclesuit brand is down both to figure support and styling. There is a huge selection of designs available from modern and sexy, to th emore traditional, offering greater coverage. Just as body shapers and foundation garments have received an image overhaul this year, so to have the figure-helping swimsuits.
A Style to Suit Every Body Shape
There are styles to suit every figure flaw, from big busts, large stomachs, wide hips and short legs. You can make your selection from a number of appropriate cuts by choosing the correct figure enhancer – hip slenderizing, waist minimizing and bust decreasing or accentuating. For shorter women there are also designs to elongate the torso or legs. Through clever designing, this swimwear can add curves to reduce them, minimize or maximize a bust, hips or waist. The key is to choose from the correct styles recommended for you, which profess to have these miracle properties.
For example, if you have a thick waist then avoid detailing (and patterns) around the middle and either go for a style that is ruched around the waist, or bust detailing that will draw the eye upwards. One of the most popular styles which does all this is the “Oceanus”, which minimizes hips, slenderizes the waist, adds curves and accentuates the bust. One of the most on-trend suits is the "Haute Pursuit Isabella," a flirty one-piece with a halter V-neckline and a feminine ruffle running from cleavage to torso. This particular cut has the ability not only to make you look sexy but with its clever shirring, will reduce your waist and hips, lengthen your torso, elongate your figure and accentuate your bust. — all for around $138!
Some Miraclesuits are available in D and DD cups for the more well-endowed, and there are long torso sizes for taller women who find that most swimsuits tend to cripple their body or cut them in two.
Choosing the Correct Style
Choosing the correct style and size is essential if you want the Miraclesuit to work. There is comprehensive styling and sizing advice on cyberswim.com, which not only gives you design recommendations, but also advice on choosing the best swimwear features too.
A word of warning — it is important to buy your swimwear in a size that corresponds to the Miraclesuit sizing chart. Do not simply order your regular size. This shape-defining wear will only be successful if you have the correct corresponding size in a Miraclesuit; if its too tight or too large you will not reap the same rewards. Bear in mind that wearing a smaller size will not give you more control; it will only serve to make you feel uncomfortable!
Miraclesuit Range and Stockists
Along with the one-piece, Miraclesuit also offers tankinis, separates and a range of classy sarongs (pareos).
If you prefer to buy your suit from a high-street store then Miraclesuits are available in a wide selection of retail stores such as Saks, Nordstrom, Macys, Bloomingdales and Eddie Bauer. Miraclesuits are also available from online stockists such as Figleaves.com and Cyberswim. Both deliver internationally.
Wearing a Miraclesuit will give you a lot more confidence to bare your figure. Add a pair of this year's trendy sunglasses to look even hotter on the beach!
