Who can wear a two-piece?
Everything But Water believes that fit is more important than age. A two-piece can fit just as well as a one-piece. Be open-minded. Give separates a chance.

How do I know my size in swimwear?
When trying on swimwear, start with one size bigger than your dress or pant size. Swimwear should be a snug fit. Pay close attention to how the suit fits your rear. As with most swimwear, when the fabric gets saturated, the suit will stretch a quarter of an inch.

How should my swimwear fit: tight, loose, or comfortable?
Swimwear fit can be tricky. Go up one size from your pant or dress size. As you start trying on, pay attention to your bust and fanny. Your swimsuit should feel snug. Don’t make the mistake of buying your suit too comfortable. If you are between sizes, go with the smaller size. Remember, swimwear expands in the water. There is nothing worse than the saggy suit look. You should feel confident and self-assured in your suit.
