Modest Swimsuits for Teens

My 13 year old daughter has been fine wearing classic Speedo one-piece suits through elementary school and would like to move on - but she's not comfortable in a bikini yet - she would like a tankini. I've looked at lands end and old navy, but she can't seem to find a nice, plain swimsuit (without extra chest padding, for say). She likes the suits at delia's, but is not developed and big enough to fit those suits. Does anyone know where to get a mature tankini for a teen?

What can I do next?

She bought a cute tankini with removable padding at Justice. Thanks to all who answered - it will be much easier next year!

I bought my 12 year old a couple of tankinis at Justice. Some styles do have the chest padding, but it is removable. Some styles also looked too young for my daughter but she found a couple that she loved. Most of the time you can get everything in the store for 40% off. Sometimes you need a coupon, other times it is a store promotion. Just google "printable coupon for Justice" before leaving for the mall. You can also shop online at www.shopjustice.com. Good luck!

Have you checked Target or JCPenny? They typically carry a wide range of suit types-especially JCPenny.

If she liked the Speedo one-piece suits maybe she'd like the Speedo tankini too. My 14 year old just found them at Costco. She has a tall slender build and the suit fits her well. Just a thought.

I got a tankini from LLBean. Love it. They are a tad expensive, but I am not sure the kids' prices yet.

Whem my daughter was younger, we found some at Kohls and Target.

Now that she's 15 1/2, she gets hers at Hollister, Abercrombie or Victoria's Secret. I know I know....those suits are not suited for a 12-13 yr old.
