Swimsuit Shopping

Lands End has nice suits, good quality, and a wide array of sizes that include bra sizes, for a really good fit. And check out the Overstocks for some great bargains on swimsuits!

That's funny that Lee P. said Land's End. That was the first thing I thought of even before reading her reply! You can either get suits online or sometimes there's a "Land's End" store at your local Sears where you can actually try on suits. Also, I like MiracleSuit (I think most dept. stores carry them) for their tummy slimming effects. My fav suit, which I've had for about 5 years now is a tankini made by Janzen. It still fits great and looks new, and I've worn it A LOT! Target carries swimsuits, but for the most part, they're pretty low quality (you get what you pay for). If you have a great bod and low budget, that's where I'd go first...you'll probably find something fun and inexpensive there. Have fun swimsuit shopping!

I think Ann Cole and Gottex have great figure flattering one piece bathing suits that have great tummy control panels without looking like you are wearing a corset. They are a little pricey ($100- $120) but if you have not seen your classmates in years, and want to look great... I would splurge. I bought a black Gottex and a red Ann Cole suit about 5 years ago. I have worn them at least 40 times each... they still look brand new. They fit wonderful look great and are comfortable.

Eddie Bauer, my personal favorite, classy grown-up clothes, but not too dowdy!

I found some cute (some pricey) at Just Add Water in the mall. I don't know if you have one of these stores in your location but they have a large selection with mix and match pieces. I love that store!

Lime Ricky has some really cute ones it is on 6200 so. and Highland or you can go to their website. Also Downeast always has good ones. My mom said JCPenny had a good selection also. There are a lot of online places also. I know swimsuit shopping is the worst!!! Good luck!!!!

Lands End! You can try them on & buy at Sears!

I recommend Ross Dress for Less. I have found some really nice swimsuits for UNDER $30. My favorite style one-piece was just $15, and it really enhanced my positives, and minimized my negatives. Of course, I'm a pragmatist; going through a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and enduring a foreclosure/short sale of our former home in Sandy, so I REFUSE to patronize ANY store that takes advantage of me and rapes my wallet needlessly!

www.hapari.com has some really cute ones. They also have a store in American Fork. Good luck and have at your reunion!!
