Size Matters

Bathing Suit Sizing Service

Your friend’s mouth is saying: “That bathing suit looks great on you!”

But you’re pretty sure her face is saying: “Holy Lycra sausage casing, Batman.”

Maybe you need someone a little more direct. Ditch your friend and book an appointment with Abbe Cheskin. She’s something of a suit-sizing specialist, as she’s been fitting bodies into the perfect bikinis for twenty years.

An appointment can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour, and she’ll take every part of your body into consideration: large or small bust, long or short torso, pear shaped or string bean — it all makes a difference in what she’ll pick for you. Cheskin will even factor your lifestyle and level of confidence into her choices.

But be warned, it’s a brutally honest experience.

So it’s best to leave your buddies at home.

Available at Abbe’s Place, 4355 Main Street (215-487-2332).
