from bras to bathing suits....

Thanks Toni ;)

We have to laugh at ourselves, right?
Otherwise, I'd have long gone to the loony bin!

Hi Jennifer - my mother-in-law recently had a suit made for her by someone in Westboro.  That could be the solution.

Will be looking for one soon too so let me know if you have any success - my concerns are less in the tummy and more in the thighs so I'm thinking board shorts.  Unfortunately the Olive Oil knee to neck style is out.

I was hoping to get away from the "fat skirt" but now as you put the meat apron is there. I did find a bikini with a mini skirt enough to cover my fold. $10 and just found a bra like bikini top.
Cant wait to get a pani!!!

I just bought three new suits for a trip, Winners had a bunch that were great and surprisingly Old Navy had some nice ones as well. Ruching (?) was definetly my friend. One thing I noticed that was different when I went shopping is that sizing is insanely different from brand to brand, one of the suits I got was a 12 and I'm pretty sure I'm no where near that in pants yet so try on a range of sizes!
good luck

 I ordered a suit from Target. It was a Spanx brand, so the spandex in this thing is amazing. It smoothed out my meat apron. I have pictures of me wearing it in my profile. The downside is there is not much support for the girls, but since my girls are fading away, I didn't care as much... what did become an issue is my girls tried to float out of the top. It was kind of funny to see me trying to water jog while pushing my boobs back in or holding them down so they wouldn't end up around my neck. This specific suit might not work for you, but other Spanx suits might. 

 I know this wont help most here... BUT... I go to the swimsuit store on Orfus road... its Bikini Bay... they have everything!!!! I am a different size on the top then what I am on the bottom so I like the 2 oce and i get them to help hold things in they have the firm support suits and they are really not that expensive... 

There is a Bikini Bay at the Calingwood shopping center, you could try there.

Thanks! Bikini Bay has also been suggested to me in another forum. I will try there once I have psyched myself up enough to go!!

I have no suggestions, but just have to say that I read the opening post out loud to my husband and we both laughed over it.  It's funny because it's true! :)

 
You know... I help with bathing suits as well as bras..
