Looking for a Tankini!
Q: Dear Vicki, I have pretty big thighs from working out a lot. I also have a scar on my right side of my stomach, just above my belly button. I want a bathing suit such as a tankini. I really don't want a full suit because I have worn them all my life. And I want a suit that makes me look thinner.Thank you! -Kate B. from Coronado, California
A: Dear Kate, I think you are already on the right track! A tankini will definitely cover up your scar, and it's a great alternative to a one-piece suit. Dark colors such as black or navy blue are always slimming. I would try to avoid light colors such as white or pink, and patters like horizontal stripes. They can sometimes be very deceiving, and make you appear broader than you really are. If it's your legs and thighs you want to appear leaner, look for a suit that has a higher cut bottom. Good Luck! Love, Vicki
