No

Don't hate the player! I'm going to Florida in April. Must plan ahead.

hahah, just playin with yaaaa Im really liking Soma's styles this year. Ive never personally worn them, but they seem very flattering. I've always HATED tankini's but now I'm embracing them, and they seem to have a good selection!

The one I've been wanting isn't on their website anymore but I like this as well. I also love the look of the Jcrew tankinis, the long sleeve top with the bikini bottom, but have never worn. 

And thanks cornpop311 you're the sweetest!!

I'm a big fan of this bathing suit. I have it in two different colors/sizes. It's very supportive and flattering. I think it hides a myriad of sins.

And these fit you?! I know you're tall like me, and I can't do one pieces because my torso is too long. The leg holes go all the way up my side like an 80s leotard and give me crotch floss.

Honestly, I got one of these from Walmart last year and it's my favorite. Very flattering. If I'm between sizes, size down. And for only $30, price can't be beat. I'm probably going to order a few more this year.

ETA - I don't often shop at Walmart but this was highly recommended in another mom group I'm in, and is comparable to the much more expensive, similar style lands end suit that I have. Definitely not crappy quality. I've got the red micro dot.

I have this one in emerald and I love it. The quality is excellent and worth every penny.

Ditto!! It's gorgeous in person.

I love Target bathing suits. I rarely buy them anywhere else!

[rach]

I like Lands End suits. Very supportive to the bewbs and good quality.

[lonegalathome]

FYI- I don't get tie tops anymore because toddlers and little boys think it's fun to untie it....

[lovemyirishtwins]

I bought mine at Macy's last year. I liked the mix and match options. I bought two different brands the bottoms were Kenneth Cole and the top was something else I do not recall. But they had great sales, options, and styles.

I love that suit cornpop311. I cannot wear one pieces because my torso is so short it looks funny.

[tcck]

Crap.

I used to love J.Crew's suits, but their tops are all too small for my girls. I love my Lands End Grecian Tank suit - feels both modest and flattering which is what I'm into these days.

Maybe one day I'll have abs again and then I'll consider wearing my bikinis again when I'm not in the privacy of the lake with family, but for now, that tank is my jam.

I recently bought this suit and it's a big hit with my son.

@officedronette do you end up sizing up, down, or true to size with Lands End? Pre baby, I loved their bikinis. Post baby, I can't get a good fit with cup-sized suits.
Their bottoms make my behind look delish, though

I think I have my suit in an 8, DDD cup. That's fairly true to size - I can wear between a 6-12 right now, but an 8 is the most common "good" fit. I seriously love that tank - it's so comfortable and just sexy enough. I have it in black.

I also have one J.Crew bikini that still kind of works, and that's a tie one with thick straps and a generous triangle cut that was a L D-cup. I love that one too - I just feel too fluffy to wear it around non-family.

I'll be rocking a bump again this summer, so I ordered this.

Amazon is my favorite place to buy everything.

I've loved Speedo since my swim days. I'm a big ol' fatty but I feel super confident in this suit: www.speedostore.co.uk/womens-sculpture-puresun-swimsuit/809685S215.html

I reeeeeaaallly want a retro looking high waisted bikini. But I can never find one that has reasonable shipping in Canada (Modcloth does not). But is that look over? I'm not one to be super trendy so I don't know if I care that much.

[rachydc]

PSA: J.Crew is 30% off your purchase of $150+ or 25% off any purchase with code "HEARTYOU"  for all your bathing suit needs

I recently read that Victoria's Secret will still carry swim - but exclusively through PINK. I know that's slightly different from traditional VS styles, but I've found that the PINK brand swimsuits fit the same.

ashiscute told me she got one on Amazon I think

HDE Women Vintage 50s Pinup Girl Rockabilly High Waist Retro Bikini Swimsuit Set (Polka Dot Bustier with Red Bottom, Large) www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5GALRK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_1MBqEl4UXtCZy


I got this one catladymeow. The bottoms run super small and the top runs fairly normal. I may keep it just for the top since it was only $10. Amazon has a lot of options in the $25 range.

[sepiamoon]

I'm cheap. I'll be shopping at Target or Old Navy.

I'll get a 2 piece this year and not a tankini after I finish widdling away my muffin top. I'm already seeing improvements doing the Bikini Body Mommy challenge.

This thread scares me. I will have a second time around post baby belly to deal with, and I'm just not looking forward to it. Hoping for a gym membership after this baby gets here.

Fwiw I actually lost my baby weight the fastest after my second and my stomach didn't look any worse than after my first.

My third was a whole different story.

Is Athleta good for us small busted women? It's so hard to find a bathing suit top that's not a string bikini to fit me since I have so minimal to cover. It also cancels out one pieces (along with my long torso) since I look like a huge child, lol

FWIW lawandorder - you can get Athleta/Gap Options gift cards at 10-20% discount from raise dot com. Here's my referral link: geta.raise.com/kholloway5

I always use them lately if there is a significant discount. When we bought our extra car seat for Noah I got $300 worth of BRU gift cards for $250. I also got discounted gift cards for things I bought for Christmas. Plus you can still use any store coupons you may have since the gift cards are just payment forms. Most gift cards you receive instantly.
