Give me your opinion on this swimsuit

[lucylou]

Is this suit too mammaw? I think it's pretty, but I tend to dress like an 80 year old.
Also, I think it looks great on this model- but what about a short pale person? Is it too dark/busy? Im kind of scared I would look "swallowed" in it. I've never bought a suit without trying it on first

[briarrose]

I like it okay, but I also would be scared to buy without trying it on. I have to try 95% of things on before buying.

It's "meh" for me. It does have a bit of a granny flavor to it. But it does look like it would hold everything in and be very supportive to the boobs. I suggest going to stores and trying on suits.

[gratefulgirl]

For me sweetheart necklines never look right. So that'd be out. But if they work on you, great.

I like the print and I like the color. I think the back is very cute.

I would be comfortable with somewhat less coverage on the bottom, but I don't think it looks inherently old ladyish.

[lucylou]

Better or worse? And a bonus- I would be able to return this easier if it didn't work out.

second one is better lucylou.

I'm leaning that way too. Thank you!

[sweetpies]

Ooh, I like #2. Stylish.

[starrynight14]

I think #2 is cute. Where is it from?

[ice61313]

This made me chuckle

Thanks ladies. The second one is from Macy's for those wondering. More than I've ever paid for a suit, but they're having a sale (25%) off right now.

Ok, I know I'm annoying, but one more question.
I do like the second suit, but I'm wondering if the short skirt is going to hit me right at my thigh's widest point and be unflattering. This is a tankini and I have a skirt about this length (got it for 1 time use at the end of last season when I was at my heaviest). But question is- longer skirts like this, do they look funny on younger people?
I'm not super overweight, but my problem areas are spread out so I feel like I need coverage in multiple areas. I just mention it, because just glancing at me, I don't look that big so I worry about looking silly like I'm drowning in fabric. (But up close, I definitely need the coverage!)

[weeklyplanner]

Most skirts tend to scream grandma to me. Unless it's like a bikini with a skirt, but then that says toddlers in tiaras and I don't think that's the look you're going for. Personally, I think classy coverage is great, but you should rock whatever suit you buy and feel comfortable and confident. My cousin would always wear shorts over her suit into the pool. I think she felt better being covered up, but wet cotton clinging to anyone's thighs isn't a great look. And, then all the aunts would be like "take your shorts off, that can't be comfortable." So, for her, less was more.

I'm failing at explaining myself....

To;dr Buy a suit that you love, but don't worry about covering up every "problem part." I bet it's worse in your head!

The longer skirt is NMS for swim suits. I think the less is more in the second choice would draw less attention than a longer skirt would.

I love the style of the first suit but not the print. I think it would be better in a solid color.

[skylark002]

I think wearing a skirt suit looks like you're insecure and actually draws attention to the places you're trying to hide. I like the second one best though. I would sooner just do a regular suit and wear a cover up or something.

I like the styles but the colors are too dark for my taste. I really like the top one.

[Deleted]

Second suit is the winner. I like the cut of the first one but the pattern is too granny. I also tend to think skirts draw attention to the places you are trying to hide.

[Courtniko]

I like the second one. The first, I am not a fan of the pattern, and the cut on the bottom is unflattering.
The 3rd I think the skirt is too long.

[Deleted]

I think the style might be ok...but the print not so much.

[lucylou]

I ordered the second one! We'll see how it fits. Thanks for your help
