Swimwear shopping is a daunting experience at the best of times—the sizing, the skinny sales girls, the fluorescent lights in the change rooms—but having to buy mid-season usually means two more drawbacks: the rush is on and the selection is paltry. Melmira Bra and Swimsuits strives to take care of all of these details, offering knowledgeable consultants that assist in the search for the perfect suit for you. Big bottomed and want to minimize? Big busted and want to maximize? This royal purple number from Jets ($213) can achieve both, being not only stylish but hard working. The bow-and-tie neck helps pump up a small bust, but can also readjust to ensure larger chests get full coverage. Our favourite part of this suit, however, is how it cuts in on the front under the bust—an optical illusion that creates an hourglass figure for any woman
