Ladies' Room

If you're pear-shaped, this style is perfect. It gives the coverage of a one-piece, with the flexibility of buying different sizes for your top and bottom for the best fit for your body.

A great tip if your hips are wider than your shoulders is to pair your patterned top with black colour bottoms as these will take the attention to your best bits instead.
