Bathing Suit Nightmares!

Wow.....I thought that after losing all of this weight, I would absolutely LOVE trying on new bathing suits ~ boy, was I WRONG!!!

I am having a really hard time finding ones that fit, especially the tops.  Has anyone had any success?  I've surfed the web for hours, gone to our local department stores/shops, and have left them more and more frustrated.

Thanks for any advice/websites/tips you may have.  The suits I bought last year are way too big, so I need help!!!!

Happy Friday!

I had success at JC PENNY because they have the biggest supply of seperates. So if your top is smaller than the bottom it is easier to find. I bought a short skirt (because of the little chicken gizzards on my inner thighs) and a halter tank typ top. It was less than $40.
Good luck

Thanks, Audra ~
My problem is that I'm bigger on top, and cannot get the coverage I need in the size I need.  I've tried on all sorts of different kinds of suits, but I will check out Penney's.  Thank you so much for the tip!

There's a place on the bypass in KDH Shore Fit Sun Wear. I think they can even do custom fit stuff iff you need it. I've heard a lot of friends rave over it over the years.   (252)441-4560 or she's online at www.yoursuit.com   I'm not sure about expense but I don't think she's any higher than your name brand retailers like Lands End and those type stores.

I've found the halter style tops work well (they kind you tie behind your neck) because you can adjust the straps as needed and they seem pretty accommodating.
