Does anyone have any recommendations for Bathing suit retailers that work for not so slim (thats me :D)
Going on vacation in April, need a new suit badly!!
Im sort of partial to those tankini styles.

Re: Bathing Suit Help...
I hear ya on the VS ones. And they have no support. We big breasted women can't win. Could you get a high brief bottom?
It just reminds me of the days when my mom wore bathing suits with a skirt on them. I like the pattern and colors but something is saying mom to me. Maybe if the top wasn't as long.
I just got on in JC Penny's (they are having a sale)
Let me see if I can find a pic.

Couldn't find the one I got but here are a few I saw.
I do not care too much for the skirt thinggys, do you have hips?? I think those skirt thinggys are made to cover hips. The tankinis came and they cover the bulge, the boobs do pop out a bit.

I got boobs,hips..the whole kit and kabootle. Im pretty proportionate...but big all over.
JCPenny is selling this:
Halter Tankini $59.00 Revealing V-neckline with removable bra cups Moderate high back Solid tankini bottom Full seat coverage Moderate-cut leg
But what is the deal with JCpenny? How is their quality?

Re: Bathing Suit Help...
The quality has never been an issue for me. I like that one you just posted.
I also feel their sizes are a little more 'true' sometimes I order from VS and their XL is like a medium in other brands and my 'set' don't fit into a medium anymore

Re: Bathing Suit Help...
Can I comment on what is up with suits that aren't good for getting tans in either? Why the huge straps or those ugly cris cross in the back, hello, tan lines?
Sorry went on a tangent when you said that suit would screw up your tan Stef....
Stef, the Victoria Secret top fits just like the one you posted. I love those tankini, the best thing they ever invented.

Stef - try Land's End...I just got their catalog in the mail and they have some really cute styles that have the tankini thing going on...plus, they are really good about realistic sizes/styles for REAL women's bodies
HTH!

Sassy: I just ordered that one! Thanks! I love the way that looks but who knows how its going to look on me but for $36 I couldnt resist (found 30% off coupon).
Im still looking for suit ideas since I cant wear this one everyday b/c it will screw up the tan ... so pls keep um coming!
She's bought a few swimsuits from them, very happy with service and product.
Good luck!!

Re: Bathing Suit Help...
Stef are you looking for an all over tan??? I usually just take my top off, all swim suits screw up the tan IMO
Great deal you got there on the Spiegel suit

Stef - I got 2 suits from Lands End (both Tankini) last year (or maybe the year before) and I was very happy with them - you can order different sizes tops and bottoms too

Stef, I was never really that brave before. I did it on a dare and I never looked back. Roger dared me to do it in Negril last year.
What are they going to do? stare for a minute and then keep moving. We all have breast. I will probably never see these people again in my lifetime.
