Figure Suit Questions

sdupdike · 04-19-2005, 08:09 AM

What style of suit is better for small busted women? I'm thinking the ones with the outlining and molded type of cups would look better, since it will seem like there's more there? Of course it will have padding.

Also, I'm assuming it would be best to get both suits from the same person if you're having them made?

Being small busted, I myself perfer the triangle tops, I just add gels to them. I sew pockets into my suit and slide them in there.

The sliding triangle tops? I'm not sure I like how they gather at the bottom though. I like the look of the triangle tops that are more fixed, you know what I'm talking about?

Jodie, I have some questions for you on your suits. The 1P-1 one piece, it looks like it's missing a strap in the back. Does it just have the strap around the neck? How does it stay on the sides on the top part?

And would 2RnN-1 be considererd a swoop top 2 piece?

Also, what style bottom is best for long torso, round or v?

I hadn't finished them when I took the pics. LOL I was going to put the rhinestone chain on the backs of it. I did one where we attached clear bra straps to the sides so it would still be held in place but you wouldn't see the straps and could see the back really well. The two would be a swoop.

I'd have to see what you look like to tell you on the bottoms.

Ok, I've got some progress pics, I'll post them tonight.

I'm ordering my suits, probably next week. My trainer is taking all my measurements this Friday, and I'll be 10 weeks out. I'm sort of shopping around for styles and prices and such. Your prices seem right in line with what I've been looking at, so I may just order them from you, since you are so knowledgeable about this stuff.

How's your work load right now?

I'm good for 10 weeks out. Its my girls that are ordering 4 out that are stressing me. LOL

I have links to other places too if you need more to shop.

Sure, post away. I've been looking at Lidiaconti and Vandella, as they seem to be in the right price range. Some of the others I've looked at were more than I'd like to pay. I want to order plain suits to save some money and my mom is going to help me decorate them. She's done stuff with those crystals before. Any tips or links you can give me are well appreciated.

JLB001 · 04-19-2005, 02:33 PM

It'll be later tonight when I get home. I'm stuck at work.

sdupdike · 04-20-2005, 06:42 AM

Ok, I put up a pic. It's a little dark, but you can probably get a good idea of my shape. I'll have to do the pictures better next time.

JLB001 · 04-20-2005, 08:26 AM

more rounded bottoms than a v-cut. V-cut would make your torso look longer.

Dang girl you have a TINY lil waist on you!!

I got busy last night so didn't get those links up.

It was leg night with trainer. I hate legs.

sdupdike · 04-20-2005, 08:37 AM

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks.

I think my last waist measurement was 23.75 in. I lost almost 2 inches in the last three weeks on my waist alone. At least I think that works in my favor as far as symmetry and proportion go. My biggest worry is my legs, I've always hated them.

Legs aren't bad. Hit your shoulders hard over the next 10 weeks.
