Swimsuits (for you)

[laurski81]

I have a ton of swim suits (bikinis)...none of which I would even think about putting on this summer after just having a baby.  Therefore, I need to get something that I will feel comfortable in.  I still have that one piece suit that was all the rage in 2013 and I will wear it because I have no other options right now...


But I think I would like to get a tankini.  I've tried on a few at target and I am not a fan at all. They were all loose on my stomach area which just seems to make me look bigger not and they did not flatter.  I have a long torso and I feel like one piece suits are hard because most of the time they pull the chest area down on me which again is not flattering, so I was thinking a tankini.  Have any of you girls found one that you like or can point in the direction of a store/brand you like?

TIA!!

Macy's. That's where I got my really cute tankini the summer after I had Dagny. They had a great selection. Not cheap (I think mine was about $90) but worth it for a suit that flatters you.

I got one from Nordstrom that I really like. I'll look up the brand but all of the ones I tried there were great.

Oh, or Athleta. I've always eyed their suits but never bought one so not sure how they fit but they have some really cute ones!!

I just recently bought a tankini from VS. I believe its the Forever tankini. Right now they are having a sale on their swimsuits. I think today might be the last day for free shipping and returns if you buy it online. They also have a few different styles of bottoms so you might find a fit you are more comfortable with. I am also not a fan of the Target ones. They never fit me well since I am on the smaller side, plus I have a smaller chest.

I did well with a Lands End tankini from Sears post-baby. Prices weren't horrible either

The brand was La Blanca. I got a bright blue ruched tankini.

I bought some tankinis is from target last summer. I found that the ones that were looser (and therefore super comfy and more flattering when dry) around the stomach floated up in the pool. I was not pleased about this because I was trying to hide my stomach. Just something to keep in mind when you are trying them on. I am thinking this would be true for all tankinis and I should have thought it through better, but I was disappointed.

I got two at Kohls last summer. They fit well. I'm very full busted and they support while flattering my stomach. I also got swim shorts to go over my bottoms.
