Not really H&F related- swim suits (for leisure)

[tuggyruns]

I need a new suit for the lake this weekend. Really just something to lounge around in, lots of floating in the lake.

However, I DESPISE bathing suit shopping, especially since I am 20lbs heavier than last summer. I dropped by my regular places yesterday (TJ Maxx, Nordstrom Rack-no suits, and Target) I found nothing.

I just want to find something that looks decent on me while I loose the weight. Oh and something that supports the TATAs. I feel like everything I tried on was fitted for 13 yo girls in the chest.

Where do you all find great suits?

The Venus catalog has some great choices, lots of mix and match bottoms. Some of it is very cheesy and cougar-ish(see the 4th of July bikini featured on the website), but if you wade through the bad, there is a lot of cute stuff:

I surprisingly had the best luck at JCP with the TrimShaper brand top. I like tankinis the best. I'm a 34D for comparison. Zero Xposure isn't bad either but I preferred the TrimShaper.

I buy float-around suits at Lands End. I like their sizing (petites, talls, etc.).

I buy at herroom.com, bare necessities, or figleaves. I have DD chest, so I usually buy a European brand from there (Freya, Panache, etc). They come in cup sizes and are supportive (not sports bra supportive, but better than a triangle or halter top)

This is where I get my bathing suit last year.  Good Quality, tops go by bra size and are pretty true to size.

I was just at athleta, looking at some of their tankini tops. They had good support and were nice.

I think I'll be buying one. When I get up the nerve to spend $70 on half a bathing suit.

On MM there were a ton of posts about 'the suit'. It is an almost universally flattering bathingsuit that is in Walmart. I haven't tried it on, but supposedly it is supportive and forgiving. I don't know which one it is on the website though, so I can't link. Someone on here will know what I'm talking about and be able to link.

I just get 2 pieces at Target or Old Navy, particularly because they were made for 13 year old girls I like Lands End for 1 piece swimsuits though because I have a long torso and these don't ride up.

I got the ML suit in black polka dots. It's really cute. Here's the link:

I got the one piece. Although the two piece looks cute from some of the pics in the ML thread. 

Here's that thread (You can see mine on page 2 or 3):

I like Athleta and Land's End. If you can't wait to order online, I think Sears carries Lands End in stores.

I love my Athleta bathing suit, but was also going to suggest Sears for their Land's End suits.

I got 2 great suits at Target this year - one tankini and one 1-shoulder piece.
