    What style of bikini should i buy?

    I hav recently lost weight( over 90lbs), am now 8st 4lbs (around 116lbs) so am ready to start waring a bikini. I am a UK size 8/10.

    im not sure what body shape i am but these are my measurements:

    Height- 5ft 4inch

    Bust- 31 1/2 inch--- (36A)

    Waist - 27 1/2 inch

    Hips- 33 1/2inch


    Thigh- 20 inch

    still need to tone up a small bit more but dont think it is going to make a huge difference as im already fairly toned.

    A flattering swimsuit makes the most of the proportions of a woman's figure. It's all about a careful mixing of color, print, and the right lines and silhouette.

    1Use blocks of color to divert attention from wide hips or a belly bulge. Wear one-piece suits with a dark-colored, solid lower half and a lighter-colored or printed bodice.
    Step2Choose suits with at least 15 percent spandex to minimize flabby areas. If you have wide hips, opt for styles that cut across the hips rather than hanging below them.
    Step3Enhance a small chest with a lightly padded halter top or a demi cut with an underwire; the demi cut resembles a bra, but it's not a full cup. Also look for suits that offer texture, like ruffles or smocking, and material with a small print'these are guaranteed to deflect attention from your bust.
    Step4Minimize a full chest with a dark, monochromatic bodice that has a high or square-cut neck. Make sure the suit offers your bust ample support to resist drooping or sagging, and choose a wider-cut bottom to balance your overall look.
    Step5 Elongate a petite frame with a one-piece suit that has thin vertical stripes. Lend short legs length with a suit cut high on the hip.
    Step6 Give a square or boyish figure the appearance of a waist with a one-piece or tankini (a bikini with a top shaped like a tank top) that has a darker color from the crotch to the middle ribs and a lighter color over the chest. Consider a skort'a combination short and skirt'to conceal and divert attention away from a too-round bottom.
    Step7 If you have toned legs and sexy shoulders, flaunt them in a string bikini or cutout one-piece swimsuit.

    congrats on the weight loss! I wish I could lose my weight =( idk just pick whichever one looks the cutest. You really just have to try them on. But i guess if your an apple shape (bigger stomach, smaller thighs) then id say go with a tankini or one piece but if your a pear (bigger legs, smaller stomach) then try a regular bikini or a string bikini.
    hope i helped
    =)
