Stage Bikini Tips

The next season for bodybuilding/fitness competitions starts in March for most countries and  competitors start looking/shopping around  for bikinis now!! 

With my collections you can purchase onlinehttp://www.danacarmont.com/ and book in your bikini and it will be sent out in January or you can book your ticket to come along to my VIP bikini showingin February around Australia  http://www.danacarmont.com/aust-tour.html and Canada http://www.danacarmont.com/canada-tour.html delivery time when you come to a VIP bikini showing is 3-7 working days from when your bikini is ordered and paid.

When choosing a stage bikini, you can give any illusion on stage, you just need to know what to do and here are a few tips!

*  Choose a colour that matches with your complexion _ remember darker colors slim line, lighter colors such as whites will make you look wider!

* A bikini needs to FIT properly on the bottom, front pouch and the bikini top shouldn't  flip or your breasts will fall out - that way you look neat and compact!

* If you need to give the illusion of being top heavy a thick diamonte/ chain strap will do the job with  padding to give you a bigger bust line

* If you would like to look a little smaller in the Bust line then the thinnest straps are best so you give the illusion of of a balanced bust line!

* If you have a short torso - opt for a V-front that will open your mid section and look longer!

* If you have a long torso and want to look balanced, then a straight across kini bottom will do the job as it cuts the length

* If you have short legs its best to wear your kini above the hip to lengthen the legs

* If you have long legs and want to cut them, then wear your bikini across your hip bone

* Looking after your bikini is easy to do by using a dry spray tan, not a wet tan such as creams - these will wreck your bikini

* Dont spend to much on a bikini the average price for nice basic bikini is around the $180 - $295 with diamonte connectors. If you are wanting to add bling I advise not to pay more the $500 depending on the design your after.

A Bikini Designers dream is to be featured in top notch Fashion Magazines with great write ups BUT the biggest bonus for me was in 2007 was I came across an article in Sunday Life called The Rules : Swimwear and  my label Who is Angie? was featured with some of the top Bikini Brands in Autsralia such as Seafolly (who I use to work for) Moontide, Speedo, Bond eye, Hallican Bodie, Lisa Ho , Camillia & Marc, Gotex and Zimmerman!

New Collections

I get very excited when my new collections are released.

The launch of my new Swim Collection for summer called Lucky dip is your basic triangle bikini style and available NOW online The Copacabana collection is my new Bandu style with a variety of prints will be released on the 3rd of the December here in Singapore!



I keep my collections Exclusive by only making 4 of everything as being a bikini designer I notice a lot of same bikinis when I go to beach or pool locations! There is nothing worse than someone lying next to you on the beach with the same bikini!

If you haven’t purchased one of my bikinis I can guarantee you that you won’t be disappointed as I love to keep my kinis bottoms with a non-saggy bum too! Back in 2007 I had a huge leap in to the boutique bikini market with my bikini label called who is Angie? with controversial media expose on “no more sagging bums ’ on Current Affairs, Daily Telegraph, Cosmopolitan, Cleo and Famous Magazine to name a few.




Keep an eye out on this blog for the new collections!
