Fit Tips

Create your own swimwear to suit your figure


At QSC we advise you about fit and body shape so that you can select the perfect style for your figure. This will enhance your assets and disguise those problem areas!

All styles are separates as many women don’t have the same size top and bottom. You can select the top and bottom sizes that fit, and mix and match styles. Our goal is to make you look and feel terrific.

  • Choose a 2 piece, or styles especially for the longer body, usually 5’8” tall and over.

Suggested Styles:

Bikini or Full Pant
Halter Tankini Top
  • These have a higher rise and will not elongate the length of your body.

  • Team with a top of equal proportions to balance your shape.

  • Avoid low hipster pants as they will just make your body look longer.
