It surely looks like bandeau bikinis are gonna be 2011 swimwear trend #1. We at Elite Fashion Swimwear love bandeau bikinis and we have a large collection of bandeau swimwear to choose from. Bandeau bikinis are preferable when you want to avoid the tan lines over your shoulders or around the neck. While many bandeau bikinis are strapless, we do have numerous bandeau bikinis that have optional straps, which you can use for added support.

Bandeau bikinis can be padded, not padded, and lately we have seen bandeau bikinis with underwires for extra support. If you have a nice looking top, go for a not padded bandeau as it will highlight your natural beauty. But if you are looking to give your bust a nice contour, go for a padded swimwear bandeau which will make your bust look fuller.

Bandeau bikinis, in solid or colorful summery colors are available at Elite Fashion Swimwear, where we try to bring a diversified collection of swimwear to appeal to every taste.

Designer Swimwear – How to Best Choose the Perfect Size

Designer Swimwear Sizing Guide

As with any designer label, each designer has its own measuring guide. You know that from designer “X” you always buy a certain size, while from designer “Y”, the size may be smaller or bigger than your “regular” size. This is also true with swimwear. But let’s be honest, how many of you don’t just buy a certain size because you are “normally” that size? How many of you actually look to see what size you should actually buy, check out the size chart, or read the disclaimer that says “runs small”?

Now that we have experienced first hand a variety of brands, both European as well as American and South American, we can tell you that there is in general one size difference between the swimsuits that “run small” and the “true to size” ones. What this means is that a swimsuit in small from a brand that runs small is actually an extra small in “true to size” or regular ones. To make it even more difficult to choose the best fitting, sometimes there are size differences within the same designer, depending on the style: bandeau, halter, triangle….

We at Elite Fashion Swimwear have measured all the swimsuits we receive from different swimwear manufacturer and tried to standardize the sizes so as to fit the American sizing. For swimsuits that in general run small, we already list them as XS if the swimsuit is small. We have also required our manufacturers to add a label that specifies the American size.  In an effort to make your shopping experience easier and to help you find the best fitting swimsuit for you, we tried to take the guessing out of the question. You can feel totally comfortable that if you are generally a size Medium, you will get a swimsuit that actually fits a medium.
