Totally NDR: Would you buy/wear this swimsuit?

[mrs.jacinthe]

It's $40 from JCP.

I'm considering it for our little anniversary trip in July (a weekend, nothing too exciting).

Some random information (that I will probably delete later) - I'm on the heavy side but carry it well - 5'4" and about 165-ish, but I wear a size 10 most of the time - my clothes range from size 6 to size 14, but average out at a 10 for most of them.  Short, but LONG-waisted.  My best body-feature is my waist, which is tiny compared to my hips.  I have a good back and shoulders, too.  I've lost a lot of weight in the past, so I'm sort of lumpy, which makes me uncomfortable wearing a two-piece.

I think it would look nice on you, it looks flattering. Does it come in other colors besides black? I remember the pic in your red dress and recall you have fair skin like me. Black tends to look a bit harsh on fair skinned folks in the summer.

It doesn't, and I do have fair skin.  You make a valid point.  I usually wear brighter colored swimwear for this exact reason.  Dang it, I thought I'd found a winner.

I wouldn't, but I have thunder thighs and my boobs are not great enough to pull that off. It would look great on someone with a nice waist though. You can always return it, right?

Its a sexy suit that still looks classy. I'd wear it....if I wasn't a two ton heifer. You should totally rock it!

[thewop]

Totally. I really like it!

[ktzmoh]

I wouldn't, but only because I don't have the chesticles to pull it off. But sounds like you would rock it. I think the most important prerequisite for most swimwear is confidence.

[downtoearth]

I think it's cute - a little sexy, but not too.

[treedimensional]

I love the suit. It will look great on you, honey! Get it!

[statlerwaldorf]

Are you doing site to store pickup? They always let me try things on in the dressing room and then I can just return it right away if it doesn't fit right.

I like it, but it looks like one of those suits that only work on a few people.

[sarahbear]

If it fit my body I would wear it. I think the butt coverage looks iffy though.

This exactly. And take your husband with you when you try it on. My husband always thinks I look great while I just see my insecurities.

I didn't mean to completely detract you from it.  I think black can look glamorous in a bathing suit.  Try it on and see how it looks
ETA: I'm a huge fan of Jergen's self tanning lotion for summer

I really like that too!
I do fear my chest is too big for it as well.
However, if you love it, wear it. It's very very cute.

[sierramist03]

I really like it!!

[aweilba]

I think it's totally adorable!  There are some really cute one piece suits out this year.  If it looks good on you, go for it!
