Sykes Strikes a pose in Pistol Panties

Posted on by

Well hello to Melanie Sykes in the latest Hello! Mag <3 She looks absolutely stunning as she wears our gorgeous ‘Tatiana‘ Cut-out Swimsuit in our brand new SS13 Painting-Dots print. Cut-outs are a funny one,  most people tend to stay away from them because they feel this style is ‘too young’ or ‘too daring’.  Cut-outs are actually a very flattering style as they hide most of your tums and the cut-out gives the illusion of a thinner waist.  Cut outs have been very popular with women of all ages at our shop in Notting Hill.  We think mother-of-two Melanie Sykes looks spectacular. You can find the Tatiana on our website here.

Buying tips for Pear Shaped Girls

Buying tips for Pear Shaped GirlsPistol Panties swimwear recommendations for a Pear Shape

In the UK we are very proud to be curvaceous ‘pear-shaped’ women, this is the reason why we have an incredible selection of bikinis and swimsuits to suit that shape in particular.

Try one of our bikinis with rings or trims on the hips with a low rise cut. We love our Fortuna one-piece with its deep v plunge neckline, it will draw attention to your top and will visually balance out your figure, you will love the chic embellishment on the hips.

For those who love the one-piece swimsuits, try our Bandeau Britney with an optional halter neck strap and a slimming centre panel down the front of the swimsuit.

If you want to create some curves, go for our Pin-up inspired Joss one-piece, which will instantly pinch in the waist.

For a bikini, try the Penelope with the added detail on the hips or alternatively go for a bikini that has a frill skirt or tie-sides on the hips to create an illusion to the eye, choosing a bikini such as a Charlotte with adjustable bows or the Marylin with a frill skirt will add flawless curves.

If you prefer a bandeau, opt for one of our Chloe styles with a stunning horseshoe detail and boning for added structure, available in various colours and prints.

Pistol Panties swimwear recommendations for a Smaller Bust

For small chests, opt for a bandeau style or triangle string bikinis. Not everyone can pull off a bandeau, so make the most of being spoilt for choice, with our strapless styles.

Go for one of our stunning Chloe bikinis.  If you would like to stand out on the beach, try the Britt bikini with an optional halter neck and cute heart detailing on the bust or cheekily on the back-side!
For total glam factor opt for one of our distinctive foil prints, which are available in Chloe, Britt, Kate and the fabulous one-piece Tatiana.

Pistol Panties swimwear recommendations for a Bigger Bust

Lucky girls! Make sure to emphasise those beautifully feminine curves with a classic underwire shape such as our fabulous fifties inspired Marilyn or our frivolous Brangelina to give you the perfect cleavage and support you’ve wanted this season.  The additional lining of micro-fibre thin padding adds volume and shape at the same time, giving you heavenly comfort!

If you’re looking for the ultimate lift and good coverage, go for one of our halter neck styles, such as our Molly, or if you fancy something with a little more ‘bling’, go for our Charlotte with gorgeous gold D-rings and thick neck straps for added support.
