			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here is an example of how to Tie Your Sarong in a &#8220;Long Skirt&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>* Wrap the sarong around your body (waist, hips, chest)</p>
<p>* Grab two corners of the sarong and create a &#8220;tie&#8221; by pulling the ends vertically, then knot the tie and pull the ends horizontally (knot again to secure).</p>
<p>* Fluff out the tie to make sure that the right side of the fabric shows and that the knot looks good.</p>
<p>* The tie can be at the front, back, or side (ends may be tucked underneath).</p>
<p><strong>Adjusting The Length</strong></p>
<p>* After you tie the sarong you may select to pin the gap or you may Choose to leave it</p>
<p>* You may wear the sarong over a simple plain tank dress to create a beautiful &#8220;chic&#8221; look.<br />
<strong><br />
Wear your sarong as a Dress or Top:</strong></p>
<p>* Wrap the sarong above chest and tie. You may wear this style with a gap open over swimwear or as light evening wear. (Use a couple safety pins to secure). To shorten into a top, simply adjust the length by folding down before tieing. Create a bandeau style top by folding the sarong into a 5&#8243; to 7&#8243; wide strip and wrap around the chest and tie in front or back. Knot and tuck the tie underneath the bandeau.</p>
<p><strong>Wear your Sarong as a Headband or Hatband:</strong></p>
<p>* Fold the sarong into a thin 3&#8243; wide strip and wrap around a hat or head-wear and tie.<br />
* Wear your Sarong as a Scarf or Schawl:<br />
* You only need to drape over your shoulder/neck and go!<br />
* Use your Sarong as a Wall Hanging or Tablecloth:<br />
* Hang your sarong on the wall (looks great framed) or drape over an end-table for a great decorator look or use as tablecloths for that special occasion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bigger on the top than the bottom? No problem. Need a little extra support in the bust? It&#8217;s yours. Like a little logo with your swim? Just pick a designer.</p>
<p>Specialty sizes, mix-and-match separates, perfect cover ups: get them all.</p>
<p>It may not be any easier to face that moment of truth during the first swimsuit try-on of the season, but at least swimwear variety and sizing improves every year.<br />
Trends</p>
<p>* Surf inspired. From movie chicks (&#8221;Blue Crush&#8221; and &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels&#8221; sequel) in teensy bikinis to sleek wetsuit-type maillots on the runway, fashion and Hollywood are trumpeting surfer girl style right now.<br />
* Prints. Look for graphic appeal: stripes, plaids and bold florals.<br />
* Colors. Basic black will never go away, but don&#8217;t overlook cool blues, black and white and tropical colors like fuchsia.<br />
* Ruffles, smocking, belts, embroidery, lacing.</p>
<p>Styles</p>
<p>* Bikini &#8212; This once-shocking style (born more than 30 years ago) is the granddaddy of fashion swimwear. Looks newest now in super-skimpy triangle, side-tie bottoms. Look for built-in push-up bras, underwire and sculpted cups for extra curves.<br />
* Tankini &#8212; A variation of the bikini, this sporty style has a longer top that leaves only a small portion of the tummy exposed. Don&#8217;t want to expose your tummy at all? Go for the mock tankini.<br />
* Bandini &#8212; A bikini with a bandeau (straight, striplike piece of fabric) top.<br />
* Camikini &#8212; Same as the tankini except the top looks like a camisole.<br />
* Maillot &#8212; One-piece suit (some creative types have even labeled a cut-out style the &#8220;monokini&#8221;). This year maillots are cut out, one-shouldered and halternecked.<br />
* Boy legs &#8212; A longer leg resembling really short shorts. Careful here &#8212; tends to make the leg look shorter&#8211; but still a favorite silhouette.</p>
<p>Accessories</p>
<p>* Sarongs, in sheer fabrics and pretty prints, continue to be the most flattering and chicest way to cover up. Tie on the side, in front or around your chest for full coverage. More about How to Tie a Sarong.<br />
* Board shorts are a cute and sporty way to pull on extra bottom coverage; find them everywhere from surf boutiques to Target.<br />
* Flip flops have moved from just-beachwear to everyday fare over the past few seasons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Suits to Flatter Any Body Shape</strong></p>
<p>Q: Which style is best if I have a small bust?</p>
<p>A: If you want to accentuate and highlight the curves you do have, you will want to choose a bikini top with an underwire for a small-busted figure. This type of top can work like a push-up bra to support and frame small busts. In addition, try to find a bikini top with triangle or other shaped cups to create curves. A tie-front bikini top can be tightened to create subtle cleavage, as well. You will want to avoid bandeau-style bikini tops or tube-style swimsuits as these styles tend to diminish curves.</p>
<p>Q: Which style will enhance curves if I have a boy shape?</p>
<p>A: To accentuate curves in a boy shape, look for a swimsuit with a high cut leg and a low, curve-enhancing neckline. Try to find a suit that gathers around the neckline; these gathers will make a boy shape seem much curvier. You will want to avoid dark-colored, tank-style swimsuits that draw attention away from the shape of your body.</p>
<p>Q: Which style of suit will provide the support I need for large busts, but still look fun and attractive?</p>
<p>A: The new best friend of most women in swimsuit fashion design is the bra-style bikini top and the hidden underwire in one-piece swimsuits. The key to flattering and supporting a large bust is to look for a swimsuit or bikini top that provides the same support as your favorite bra. Generally, you will want to look for a suit with wide set straps and a flat neckline that will minimize the bust while supporting it. Also, do not be afraid to look for a suit in the pretty, pastel colors that are in style this year, so long as the top provides an appropriate amount of support.</p>
<p>Q: How do I find a flattering suit in a plus size?</p>
<p>A: If you have a lot of curves and you want to show them off, look for a fitted, waist-defining swimsuit that will accentuate your hour-glass figure. Try a swimsuit with a high percentage of Lycra or spandex that will provide enough stretch to smooth out any bulges. Also, choose a swimsuit with a high cut leg to accentuate the natural curves of your hips. Our suggestion for plus sizes is a long tankini top in a bright color paired with a more subdued bottom with a high cut leg.</p>
<p>Q: What style of suit will conceal and flatter my pear shape?</p>
<p>A: As always, no matter what your particular body shape may be, the key to a flattering swimsuit is accentuating your positive characteristics in order to draw attention away from less desirable characteristics. For women with pear shapes, the best swimsuit is one with an eye-catching top in a pattern or bright color and a bottom in a darker color that draws attention away from hips and thighs. To accentuate the bust and upper body, try pairing a halter-style bikini or tankini top with a dark bottom with high cut legs.</p>
<p>Q: How do I find a swimsuit that will lengthen my short torso?</p>
<p>A: Women with short torsos can often appear stocky in the wrong type of swimsuit. To lengthen the torso and give the impression of length and litheness, try a bikini with a halter-style top to draw attention to the bust and shoulders. You will want to pair this top with a bikini bottom that sits low on the hips to expose as much skin as possible in the torso. Conversely, if you want to de-emphasize a long torso, try a suit with a high-cut leg. Bottoms with high-cut legs tend to lengthen the legs while bottoms that sit lower on the hips tend to lengthen the torso.</p>
<p>Q: How do I make my big thighs appear less obvious in my swimsuit?</p>
<p>A: To conceal or flatter big thighs, choose a one-piece swimsuit or tankini that pairs a light-colored, attention-drawing top with a darker bottom. In addition, choose a bottom with a high-cut leg that will lengthen and slenderize your legs and thighs. If you still want the fun, flirty style of a bikini, try to find a bikini with attention-drawing features on the top and a dark bottom with a high cut leg.</p>
