Whenever I travel to Asia, I make sure to check out their bathing suits. There's tons of maillots there that you can get at such an affordable price! Asians are petite, so expect their maillots to fit petite frames.
Well, you need to be skinny to wear any swimsuit, but hey, if you’re in the beach, you can always wear a maillot and a sarong to cover you waist down. :) I’m a pear shape and I have a heavy bottom, so I wear my maillot with sarongs. :)
