Still searching for the right Bathing Suit
moped wrote: The one I ordered from VS just wasn't right and it had NO suuport, which is the biggest problem for these things.....LOL
I ordered 2 this morning from Figleaves.com in the UK, has anyone heard of it or ordered from there?
They are super cool bathing suits, we shall see........... here they are
The blue one is reversible and you get a 2 pack of bottoms..........

I'm looking for a bathing suit too....I want to snorkle when we go to the Bahamas for our honeymoon..
luvmykids replied: OMG those are SO SO SO cute!  I want the first one, I love the bandeau top (I don't need so much support  )Let me know how they fit when you get them, I love their prints!
eta: Dang it, I just looked more and they're all for girls with a little more goods than I have  Nevermind, I found my size 
moped replied:
Yeah I think it is sor big boobs, I think the D I ordered might be too big but it did say UK run a bit small so I took a chance....UGH
luvmykids replied:
The US site has my sizes but not the same cute prints 
moped replied: UGH now i am questioning the size of bottoms I ordered - why am I so indecisive - too late now!
Mommy2BAK replied: ooh I like!
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Super cute Jen! I think you'll be happy with them, but it's hard to know for sure until you try them on. That's what's hard about ordering online. I've been eyeing the JCrew bathing suits. I have never owned one, but I went into the store the other day and I thought the fabric was really durable. Like it would hold everything in place...Good strong lycra is key. Their prices are high though IMO. But their website lets you mix and match tops and bottoms. It's just so dang hard to choose between colors!
BTW Monica, JCrew has a cute bandeau top that I'm considering. I just bought my first size A bra (have been a B my whole adult life), so personally I'm really having a hard time with bathing suit tops. I think this one may work. It had some padding and wire on the side so that it doesn't scrunch down into one skinny roll around your chest.  They had it in the store too, so as soon as I can get some alone time, I'm going over there and trying it on. I'll pay the high price if it works!
Jen, I know there was an article in Parent magazine recently about bathing suits. About what type is best for different body types. I know underwire is definitely best for support. Have you tried sites like Speedo? Or places like Sears carries Lands End now, which I always think is a good durable brand. I like my VS swimsuit, but I think VS makes their suits with "sex" in mind, not function or durability, kwim? 
moped replied: Rae,
Yes I have htought about those brands but honestly I am wanting support, style etc.....I don't find that they have stylish suits ya know.......
I really hope these ones work
I have lost a fair bit of weight but these boobs need serious help
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Gotcha! Well KUP about how they turn out!

Oooh, I'm glad you posted that about the J Crew suits! They looked durable to me too
I was browsing the J Crew site the other day and ended up ordering two tops and two bottoms from there. I wanted to kick myself for spending so much, but was hoping the quality would be there. I'm always pleased with their clothing, despite the price, so was thinking it would be a wise purchase. I hate shopping online for suits though- I like to try on and always end up sending things back!
moped replied: I got my 2 bathing suits and LOVE them - very very good quality, you know how you can just tell.....well they weren't cheap so they should be good.....FYI, I recommend that website for sure
DillsMommy replied: They are both really cute! I love pink and brown together.
A&A'smommy replied: VERY cute!!!!
