Reader Katerina writes in to say, "I am so flat-chested that I dread summer because it means putting on a bathing suit and letting the whole world see my mosquito bites.' Any suggestions for a suit that will make me look like I have more than I really do?"
First of all, you definitely made me giggle with your "mosquito bites" reference. And second of all, I've got tons of smart ways to make them look more like…really big mosquito bites.
I am not a fan of padded swimsuit tops and would suggest you skip them entirely. Instead, play up the rest of your beautiful bod, take advantage of stylish suits we well-endowed gals can't wear, and create the illusion of volume using some smoke and mirrors. Here are a few suggestions:
RUFFLES ARE YOUR FRIENDS
When it comes to tricking the eye into thinking you've got big breasts, there's no better weapon than a few well-placed ruffles. Anything with a lot of action in the chest area—ruching, fringe, a tie-front, and two-toned tops also work very well—can give the impression you've got more going on up top than you really do.
AND SO IS THE MONOKINI
