Tips on how to find a bathing suit that fits well

With spring break approaching, finding the right bathing suit can seem like a daunting task — especially if that New Year’s fitness resolution feels like a distant memory. But Daniela Corte, a Boston-based swimwear designer, is out to make the mission to find the perfect suit a little less stressful. Corte, who has dressed stars like Hayden Panettiere and Sports Illustrated model Jessica Gomes, encourages women to keep the following concerns in mind while shopping: coverage, support, and lining.

“Those seem to be the biggest concerns of almost all of our customers,” said Corte, who has a store at 211 Newbury St. “I think there’s a misconception about buying bigger bathing suits for more flattering coverage and support, but that’s not always the case.”
