bathing suit shopping suggestions?

Landsend.com - their suits are very, and I mean very flattering.  If you order it and you don't like it returning is easy - take it to your nearest Sears.  Speaking of, Sears does carry some of the bathing suits from Land End in their Land End department.  Good Luck!

K-mart in Dtown has some pretty cute suits.

I could always give you the BRAND NEW ones I bought in April for Vegas that no longer fit me. They are kind of trendy/rocker girl though However if that's your thang I'd be happy to meet you at starbucks to make the drop. :P They are 2 piece tankinis types )2 tops with a black 1/2 skirted bottom that I bought at Torrid. (size 0s i.e. 14/16)

Melanie,

Wow - thanks for the generous offer!  I'm a bit afraid I might throw my kids into shock if I showed up in something too trendy/rocker girl, though!  Could be a bit beyond the "age-appropriate" if you  know what I mean.  ;-)  But thanks!

I know it is a bit of a hike for you, but there is a Bathing Suit factory in Pen Argyl/Bangor & they also have one in Easton.  It is A & H Sportswear.  They make the "MiracleSuit" and "Caribbean Joe" and "J Lo" bathing suits.  I didn't see the J Lo ones, but they have the other 2 and other brands they make!  Those are the only ones I know off the top of my head!  You go in, grab about 10 suits, try them one.  If you don't like them, grab 10 more!  I tried on about 25 suits last year (pre op), and about 20 last weekend!!!  They have a HUGE selection!  And at the Pen Argyl one, there is this amazing atmosphere, you have to step out of the little changing room to check yourself out in the mirror.  But once you do it one time......you don't have a problem doing it again!!  People walk to the racks and pick another one off, while they are still in the one they are trying on!!!!  I did this last year and I'm someone that is/was very uncomfortable with my body!!  The one in Pen Argyl is open 8am - 3pm during the week.  This weekend was the last weekend open.  The one in Easton is open longer and on weekends (I think).  Other than there, I got my other bathing suit at Kohl's.  It was perfect, because they were separates.  My top is a 10 (because I have an obscene rib cage, it sticks out past my bewbies), the bottoms are an 8!  So its a great fit!!  Good luck and enjoy Fla!!!!!

Hmmm, not sure where Pen Argyl is, but Easton's definitely a possibility. 

I will definitely check it out!

Thanks!

Karen

Pen Argyl is up the line a bit further.  But, if you want I can find out Exactly where the warehouse is in Easton for you!

Jackie,

Thanks for the offer - i googled it and found it.  Looks like a road trip this weekend!

Karen,
Sorry I am late in chiming in but I bought a size 18W at Marshalls last summer and unfortunately the bathing suit is too lose on me this year. I bought something called "It Figures" and they sell it exclusively at QVC but I got mine for $20 so not too upset about it but literally have only worn it 3 times last summer. I went to Old Navy and purchased a new one this year in size 6!! Only because my girls are still a size C cup. Happy shopping!!
