We got you covered babe. Here are TIPS, ADVICE, DO'S and MAJOR DON'TS to keep in mind when shopping for a new bikini top.
3 Flattering Details to Look For:
1. V necklines over straight and scooped.
2. Center details like scrunching or ties.
3. Adjustable straps/ties for a snug lifting fit
Must know DO'S & DON'TS
DON'T:
Stay away from straight-across styles aka tube tops/strapless styles. They simply aren't doing anything for the girls.
DO:
If you want that strapless style for zero-shoulder tan lines, then opt for a style with a center scrunch or bow. Pulling the fabric together in the middle will again give the illusion of a rounded bigger bust.
Scroll up again to see the difference.
Say hello to THE. PERFECT. STRAPLESS.
The Jessica Top $55 by Violaa Swimwear is designed to PERFECTION.
It comes with a removable center tie and has a corset-style lace-up back closure so you can ensure there will be NO nip slips! Plus it looks super sexy.
DON'T:
Cinch your triangle top super small to have more skin/boob showing. Yes, it may create more bulges to seem like you're "spilling out", but from afar, that sliver of fabric, just covering the nips, is what will make them look minuscule. Trust me.
PS: She is still perfect anyway she wants to style her suit. We're just giving you tips to enhance your bust. :)

DO:
Spread the triangle top more open like this, and add padding when possible. See the difference in the above triangle top and this one?
This classic style is available online at Violaa Swimwear for just $55.
Add pads for an awesome deal of just $5.00.
This baby is called The Eva Top. You can order in any colour or print you see on the site too!
DON'T:
I know the underboob trend has been going for a while but it's not great for smaller busts. Regardless of the style you choose, clearly, there's enough fabric to cover everything, so pulling it up to have some extra skin showing just looks try-hard, not natural, and ill-fitting.
Even on a celeb like Kourtney, it just ain't it.
DO:
Look for tops with cut-outs. With these styles, instead of trying to pull up the girls every 5 minutes to create cleavage, work with gravity and allow your underbust to show through cut-outs and keyholes. Here are some great examples.
It's easier to pinch some cleavage together and have your snug top hold it in place than to pull your boobs up and have them keep slipping down.

DON'T:
Scoop necks aren't your bestie. You need a little more detail... read below what exactly your neckline needs to actually enhance your bust.
DO:
Look for V necklines. The "V" is going to create that illusion of a bigger bust. Having a center scrunch or bow in the middle helps bring all the fabric together to create a ruching look that tricks the eye. Add pads for a fuller look every time.
Also, having adjustable ties are GREAT for you to really cinch things for a snug fit to get that extra lift.
Just look how curvy this top makes this small busted babe look!
It's literally working wonders.

I hope these suggestions help you find the perfect top to feel confident and happy. Cause when you actually feel good, you look good. And that's when all the compliments start coming. :)
