XP: Where to buy a bathing suit!

Hi Maine ladies. I'm xping a post I just maid on the Main board about my struggles to find a bathing suit. I figured that maybe one of you guys has the solution for me or have been thinking about the same thing .... Let's hope!!! :) ---------------------------------------- Hi gang ... I've been having a hard time finding a bathing suit and I know that someone out there must have found the solution to this mess! I'm a size 12 these days with a 36 C chest that WAY sags. So, I need some help in that department! LOL All of the misses suits that fit my body don't hold me up enough in the top and all of the womens suits I've tried on have better support up top but are WAY too big in the body. HELP!!! Anyone know where to find a supportive one piece or tankini (did I just write that I'd consider something with an "ini" in it??? ) that will keep the girls in check?? TIA- Summer

Summer, I know I'm much older then you are but here is my opinion.  I live on the lake and live, and I do mean live in a b suit all summer, I have old suits I paint in, mow lawn in, and of course weekend hang out with friends suits.  II usually buy 2 or 3  year, also have big girls and had the same problem.  along with wedgies. I hate the riding up that cheap suits get.  so last year I decided as much as I hated to I'd buy a grand ma suit, with a little skirt,  It was far from being a grandma suit, was perfect for walking around, looked like a little sun dress, only shorter, I LOVED IT.  I got 2 of them.  great bra in it.  so before you check off those little skirt suits, they even have tankinis with skirts now.  try them on.  they also hide the top thigh issues.  WHich I know you've come  long way and look great, so you might want to show all you can, but having a little one to run around with you certainly dont want to hang or show anything your not ready for .  I actually got these 2 at Walmart, which I would swear against from normally.  I usually go to Penney's or order on line,  Just my suggestion with little skirts, Give Gramma's a try, they have good bra's.  Good luck.  THe Miracle suit is awsome too, expensive but good...  Cheryl

I know LLBEAN has good quality suits and the price isn't that bad. Good Luck

this is like the one I had last year, I loved it. I actually walked into a store with it on.  I agree with Kathy I did see some nice ones there too, good luck...http://www.alwaysforme.com/swimdress4.html

Oh that is cute Cheryl very cute

I'd try LL Bean too, they have some nice suits and if they don't fit right, they will take them back (at least they did for my mom).  Good luck and let us know what you find.....I'll be looking for something soon too!!!!!  WOOHOO! 

I love Lands end bathing suits.  They are no tug, don't slip and they are wonderful.  Sears usually has some in stock, but I usually by mine from their website.  Its really cool, you can create your own model to you dimensions and try any bathing suit on it.  It is the best.  Good luck summer and I know you will look great!!  Missi

Summer, Take a look at Tankini suits.  I found one at Sears last week that I actually liked.  And it was sold as separates so I got the bottom one size smaller than the top and it is working out great!  Just try it on first, some have shorter tanks than others. :) Sheli

Thanks ladies! Knew I could count on you!!!
