wdyt of this swimsuit?

[ladygrey]

I like the way it fits and holds all the jiggle in, but am wondering if it's too "mom-ish" and frumpy. Thoughts?

I think it's a nice classic suit.

I think it's a good basic suit and Land's End holds up well.

Not bad, I like the definition it gives at the waist and the straps look nice and wide and supportive.

Completely classic - I think it looks nice.

I don't love it. I have a few like this that I love.  They suck in nicely and hide the stomach well.  Mine have removable straps.  I like that it's retro looking but modern at the same time.  I've gotten mine at Bloomingdales and Target.  I'm pretty sure this style is common now so you could probably find most places.  If you need more support on top, I also bought one that didn't have the removable straps and had molded cup/underwire.  I wound up returning it to Rue La La because it didn't fit well, but that's an option too. 

Eta: I clicked around on *the Lands End site (edited) and they actually have a bunch that look 
like the one I posted.  I think the only difference between them and the one you posted is the neckline.

I have a Walmart version of that (in between sizes, didn't want to shell out) and I think it looks great. Pretty basic and classic actually. I like it too because I feel contained and not like I'm exposing myself in the water. Which with kids I don't want to be uncomfortable/worry about it.

I save my other suits for kidless beach days where I'm just laying there. 

My regular suit is Land's End and the quality is amazing!

Honest question, I like that suit but does it hold your chest in at all, or do are you small chested? My chest is pretty average and everything that cuts across the top like that doesn't fit well at all, like it divides my boobs in half, kwim? 

I wish that style fit me better!

I'm a B/C cup.  The one I got from Bloomingdales supports better than the Target suit.  I don't get the weird boob spillage from this style.

Good to know. I might have to keep trying. We have the same cup size, so there should be one out there for me. I really like that style. It's a little more edgy but still still simple. And yeah, I think I'm just getting too old for Target suits!

That's a cute suit, but only for someone with a small chest; my boobs would be spilling out all over the place!

LE suits really do hold up well. My pre-pregnancy LE suit is 7 years old and still looks great, but doesn't fit anymore
