SWIM WEAR FIT GUIDE
Find your perfect fit here and never hate swim wear shopping again!

DO'S AND DON'TS
DO'S
- Great style begins with a great fit, so at WALLIEN we think its more important to find the silhouette that’s best flatters your figure.
- Swimsuit styles change in time, so look outside your comfort zone and you may find your new favourite silhouette.
DONT'S
- Don’t assume that a size bigger or more fabric will give you more flattering coverage. Many women purchase suits that are too large. And as a result, the fabric gaps and the suit does not give sufficient support. If you want more coverage then chose a style with more coverage.

PEAR SHAPE
You're curvy at the hips and thighs and smaller on top
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- The key to the perfect swimsuit is balancing your proportions and getting the coverage you want for your bottom half.
- For this shape we advise a plunging neckline or eye-catching top that draws the eye upward, minimizing the bottom. And to make this happen we advise all the Swimsuits we have in store, the Halter top with a bottom of your choice.
SMALL BUST
Proportionally, you're smaller on top with an A, B or C cup
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- A smaller chest requires less support, so you can look for styles with more minimal coverage and patterns to create the illusion of a larger chest.
- Triangle tops create the illusion of curves, as do tops with bold prints.
- Our Halter Top and Swimsuit Bands offer extra lift and can create cleavage.
- A smaller bust always means you can wear tiny scoop tops or bandeaus — embrace them! Here you can go for the Bandeau or our Sport Top with a bottom of your choice.
- For the more sporty type you can always go for the Active set, this one is truly made to move.
LARGE BUST
Ample cleavage; you're chesty and require more support up.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- If you're more well-endowed on top, then support is key. Avoid ruffles or embellishments up top if you're hoping to minimize the focus on your chest.
- Higher backs are also a good fit for helping to keep the girls up. For this shape we advise, the Halter Top, the Bandeau Top and the Active sets.
CURVY
You're curvy throughout with a full bust, hips, thighs, and butt.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- For curvy frames, the key is to highlight your curves while providing enough support and coverage.
- We advise swimsuits that draw the eye toward the neckline, highlighting the beautiful line from a woman's neck to her collarbone.
ATHLETIC
You're more straight up and down and have fewer curves.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- The name of the game is playing up your curves with styles that flaunt your frame.
- Suits with less coverage help to create the illusion of a shapelier figure. We advise tops or bottoms with bold prints and color create the appearance of more curve at top and bottom.
- Cut-outs create fabulous curves and tie-side bikini bottoms enhance curves and adjust perfectly to your size.
TUMMY CONCEALING
You're built a little more like an apple shape and carry your weight mostly in your middle.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- A retro-inspired, high-waisted suit is always a good choice for more coverage. They're on-trend and cover the abdomen.
- Try the Swimsuit Bands or the Halter Swimsuit.
