How to Wear...swim suits

Hey ladies,
Summer is fast approaching and who wouldn't be excited about finding a new swimsuit? I have just bought 4 new ones from Victoria's Secret and I am so excited to wear them to the beach this summer!
But for those of you that get a little nervous about shopping for a new swimsuit, there are a few things to look at when searching for your perfect swimsuit.

*I'm using swimsuits from Victoriassecret.com
Athletic/Boyish Body (go for  girly colors, patterns, or ruffles)
  
Small Chest/Petite (go for larger prints, vertical stripes, or small dainty swimwear)
  
Large Chest (having a pattern will draw the attention away from your large chest and thick strapes or underwire is the way to go)
   
Curvy or Have A Little Tummy (go for a one piece or tankini but also opt for ruching, darker colors, and a deep v-neck)
  
Tall/Slender (go for bows or ruffles and go for horizontal stripes to add to the illusion of a curvier body)
  
Pear Shaped (go for a plunging v-neck with a higher waisted bottom with butt coverage)
  
Hour Glass Shaped (tie sides and plunging v-necks are your best bet but this figure looks good in any swimsuit)
  

Which shape do you have? I have the hour glass shape to the T but I also have a large chest. I just cant do itty bitty bikinis. Do you guys like the "guide" for your body type?
