Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive March 2005: It's almost swimsuit season
and I need one. Rylee starts her swimming lessons in May and I need a swimsuit. I still have a pooch and I HATE my legs. Can someone refer a swimsuit that hides it all? I've looked online, but nothing really catches my eye. I don't want a granny looking one (sorry, no offense), but one that covers me that is cute. Preferably a tankinie(sp?). I still have my maternity one and that fits, but I don't want to wear it. Any suggestions?
I like LandsEnd swim suits.They give you support where you need it.
I'm with you, sister. I HATE swimsuit shopping. I'd make a good turkey,(Big breasts and thighs, LOL) but that doesn't translate well to swimsuits. I've just ended a two week hunt for one, and I finally found a swimdress that I think is really cute. (It's black with purple polka-dots.) Not the sexiest one ever, but it shows off my cleavage, and covers up everything else! Dillard's is the only place I've ever had any real luck. And, although I did look online for some inspiration, I found nothing. Plus, I will not buy one online. They all look so different on. Just because it is my size, doesn't mean it will look good. (I had to prove this to my sister when we went shopping the other day...she can just order something and it fits, darn her!) Anyway, best of luck.
Many on-line retailers now have swimsuit guides to help you find a suit that flatters your body type. I've found that solid colors tend to show every bump and bulge.
Argh! Of course I don't look like the model! LOL!
Oh, and don't forget to check the Momsview homepage for coupons!
Trina, that's a great suit.
The best bathing suit I ever bought was from Land's End. It measured perfect and it is a perfect fit. Love it!
Melissa, where are the first two bathing suits from?
Trina, where did that suit come from? Is it a skirt? Do skirts look funny in the water because they float? Are skirted suits popular now, I hope??
Kate, that suit is a Jantzen and I ordered it from JCPenney.com. It cost more than I usually pay for a swimsuit but I had a 30% off coupon.
Annie, they are from my 2nd home - Victoria's Secret!
Boxzgrl, have you purchased any suits from VS? I have bought a few in the past and sent all but one back because I didn't like how they fit. They were the right size but just didn't fit well for some reason. Maybe it's me. LOL! Anyway, I now tend to avoid them for bathing suits.
I bought a new suit last year at JC penney that I really like. It is a jogger, has a fitted top and then a lined short on the bottom. Works great for me because I can just throw a shirt over the top and not feel weird stopping off at the store on the way to the river.
Trina, i've bought one before but before I did I did all my measurements as shown in the catalog and it fit just right.
I just bought a tankini from Victoria's Secret, and it is the first one I found that hid the less than wonderful things and accented the good things. They are having a swim separates sale, you may want to check the site.
I got one with an removable skirt. It is a tankini. with removable skirt. So the panties stay on. I like it. If I get hot off comes the skirt.

Prints and textured materials do well at hiding those.
