Dear In The Swim:Honey, the brutal, unforgiving fluorescent glare of a dressing room could probably make Jennifer Lopez look like yesterday's cuchifritos. Then again, direct sunlight can be pretty nasty too when it comes to unveiling imperfections.
So when it comes to looking great at the beach, don't sink in the drink of dressing room despair-you are perfectly normal.
In over a decade of my experience as a fashion stylist, I have dressed tons of buffed models who also tried on a barrage of bathing suits until we found the perfect fit.
Whether it is having too many curves or not enough, alas dressing room horrors can be washed away and soon you will learn How to Stuff a Wild Bikini.
Daaaaaarling, you look sun-sational! Now, go and enjoy your vacation.
Dear Sharon: I'd like to know what is the best fabric for a well-fitting and slimming swimsuit? --Slenderella
Dear Slenderella: Lycra is God's way of saying hold that tiger, "because it gently shapes and sculpts the figure and allows you to move with ease and comfort," according to Linda Kearns of Dupont Lycra.
