Picking out a swim suit is a lot like being a magician.

The whole goal is to fool the audience by drawing their eyes away from what you don’t want them to see, by creating something distracting and thus enabling you to pull off the trick.

With swim suits it’s all about drawing the eye away from your problem areas, and creating a new area that they can focus on making you look thinner and more beautifully distracting than ever before!

This is why, when it comes to plus size bathing suit shopping, ruching is your best friend. What ruching does on a swim suit is it draws the eye to the focal point, while simultaneously creating lines that act as runways for the eyes-saying this spot here where she is her most svelte, this is where you may land.

So now, I guess, picking out a swim suit is a lot like being a magician AND an air traffic controler :)
