Personal Shopper: A Non-Boring One-Piece Swimsuit for Kristi

Kristi wrote: "I am over-the-moon excited about a trip to Hawaii that my family and I are taking later this year. We took the kids last year and they are still talking about it, so we figured we better take them again! Rough life, I know. I am a modest lady who prefers to wear a one-piece swimming suit. Problem is....most one-pieces are hellishly boring! Also, I am VERY short-waisted and need a suit that helps lengthen my torso. I have a few months to research and explore my options, but I love all of the requests you fulfill and hope that you can help me as well! FYI, I am 5'7" and a size 10. I would like to keep the cost under $100. Thanks so much!"

When you're out to lengthen your torso, vertical lines (whether they're seams or print) are your best friends, as are halter-style tops, which draw attention away from your mid-section and up to your bust and shoulders.

Here are some (interesting) suits that will help lengthen your torso while you frolic on the beaches of Hawaii.

1. Twist-top Padded Bandeau Swimsuit ($52)
2. Boden Retro Swimsuit ($68)
3. Carmen Marc Valvo Sunset Animal Print Suit ($95)
4. Ballet Casablanca Bandeau Swimsuit ($63)
5. ShapeFX One-Piece Shirred Swimsuit ($64)
6. One-Piece Graphic-Print Halter Suit ($39)

Frustrated in your search for that perfect leather handbag, red stiletto pump, or whatever makes your heart go thump in the night? Click here to check out our requests for you, the reader, and to contact us, and we might do the shopping work for you in a future Personal Shopper feature!
