Bathing suits
Has anyone gone shopping for one yet? I really don't know where to start because I don't need to shop in the chubby girl store anymore. I need the support up top for my drooping girls and also tummy control. Would like a little coverage for the wrinkly thighs. So where have you have luck? I know it's going to be quite a process!
Thanks
Dawn
good ole wally world is where I got mine....at end of season last year. Just guessed at the size, never dreamed it would fit. It does. I can still wear last year's that I got at Sears. It was really pretty but I have to make sure I'm swimming alone. It will fall off in the water but looks OK on dry land.
Anyway, Sears and JC Penneys have a good selection. You shouldn't have any problems there.
Good luck and have fun!!!! PS Don't be critical of yourself though. I know I was and DH got upset with me. He stated "Your never satisfied!!" hahaha wellllllll?????

I bought a two piece at Walmart. The top is long waisted and bottoms have a little skirt to hide the panni (apron). It's a very short skirt, not like the size 26 bathing suit skirt I wore last year. I bought it in the misses section (yahoo!). My husband said it's really attractive (and a lot easier to go to the bathroom, let me tell ya!). Although it's a two piece, it looks like a one-piece because it doesn't show any of my flabby, excess belly skin.
Good luck on your search.
I found a cute one a TJ Maxx, $19.99. I didn't want to spend a lot since I'm still loosing. I doesn't have the thigh coverage I would like, but I would have to wear capri pants for that. If you want something really specialized you may have to go to a bra store, they usually carry nice suits, but are pricy. Good luck.

I'm about on my 3rd since surgery and have 3 more smaller ones in my drawer.
I am using a size 16 now and have 14s & 12s ready for the summer.
Sam's club has a good deal on some nice suits.
Another place is Keifer's and they have a web site. I like going to their store as that sometimes they have even better deals.
I go through a lot of suits because I do water aerobics and water step areobics. Even though I was them out every time, the chlorine eventually gets to them.
Good luck and try them on if you are unsure!

Try www.newport-news.com................................. If you have a scar like mine from OPEN RNY they have some some really sexy suits that will cover it (tankini) sp . I brought two from them. Good Luck in your search
Dawn,
So many people have recommended Land's End swimwear to me. I hear the coverage is nice.
I won a Land's End tankini last year on ebay in a size 14 but never got to wear it. Now it will be too big, it is a shame because it is a nice suit.
I would check out ebay, sometimes you can get designer suits pretty cheap.
