Most of my clients wear one piece suits and tankinis. Our go-to places to shop for them are Nordstrom, Lands End and Bare Necessities. Here’s a roundup of one piece suits from Nordstrom that have been winners this season. 

1. Seafolly Harlow Boyleg One Piece Swimsuit: I am in love with this brand of swimwear, which I believe is from Australia. If I needed a new one piece, this would be it. It has excellent coverage and support. It works well on a small and regular size bust line. 
2. Bleu Rod Beattie Zip It One Piece Swimsuit: So fabulously ’80s! Glam and sporty. It has good support, but not stellar support. And you have to be at peace with “uni-boob”. A flattering shape, and one I would consider myself if I was not smitten with the retro vibe of the above suit. 
3. Trina Turk Summer of Love One Piece Swimsuit: This one offers great support for the small busted gal. Happy, alluring, and comfortable. 
4. Miraclesuit Sanibel One Piece Swimsuit: This suit continues to be fabulous on those who want LOTS of support on the bust and midsection. It does not work well on small busted ladies. You have to be able to fill out this suit to make it work. 
5. Profile by Gottex Tutti Frutti Skirted One Piece Swim Dress: This has been the best suit of the year on my regular and small busted clients. It has a strap, but they did not show it in the photo. I am impressed with the “Profile” collection from Gottex and look forward to seeing more amazingly cut swimwear from this Israeli brand. 
6. Miraclesuit Rialto One Piece: It’s very flattering. Girdled, streamlined and comfortable. I wish we had more colour options though. 
7. La Blanca Sweetheart One Piece: This style continues to be a winner. It looks best on ladies who can fill out the bust and hips. It has worked on a smaller bust with a very broad shoulder line, but generally, I would not recommend this style to a small busted gal. Halter style suits are better for a small chest. 

Remember that you must size up at least one size in swimwear. I have clients who have sized up two sizes on Miraclesuits for extra length, and because they are very formfitting. Furthermore, you can have swimwear altered to fit. So if the straps are a little long, or you need to have extra support sewn into the cups, it’s a worthwhile investment for a quality suit.
