I need a new swim suit

[littlemissladybug]

I took the kids to a pool today and realized I have a mom swim suit. I still have a mom body. I also realized as I was leaving.. I have the 3rd butt cheek jeans. :-(

aww I'm sure that's not true what kind do you have now? I know J Crew has been having lots of sales (no idea what you're looking for) and I actually found some cute ones at Target recently. Although I definitely lust after some from VS (but being in the NW it's rarely worth it to 'invest' in one!).

[littlemissladybug]

It has a skirt and the top is a halter... my boobs sag! Between my recent weight loss and breast feeding my girls are pretty sad. At least I fit in today! haha

do you have an everything but water store by you? what is your style? one piece or two piece? i would definitely do something supportive up top. here are some ideas:

VS:


Betsey Johnson:

JCrew

Everything but water








i am not sure what your style is, though!

Girl, get thee an underwire top!! Freya is my favorite brand. My jugs look like oranges in tube socks w/o an underwire.

I have 2 Freya bikinis, both have underwire halter tops, but one bottom is boyshorts and the other is a regular bikini bottom with full-butt coverage.

Athleta.com has really good ones - tops with underwires sold in bra sizes, separately from the bottoms.

I have the same issue (saggy post-BFing boobies) and LOVE my J. Crew bikini top with underwire. I have this one:

and this is the one piece version:

My boobs look awesome in it and it holds everything really well. Plus the vintage shape of the halter masks any armpit fat. Highly recommend!

ditto! I bought four from there this year! The fit of Athleta suits is always fantastic.

Yes! Athleta all the way!

Thanks for the suggestions ladies!

Photon- LOVE that black one piece.

I'm pretty basic. Anything that hides my belly and is cute. The JCrew ones are adorable. I definitely have some shopping to do. Unfortunately, I can't wear a bikini. I have some pretty bad stretch marks from DD.

[xokell2]

I'm a DD and I get some good suits from athleta in my specific bra size but Im excited to look into freya and Jcrew for next year.

This. I can't believe i went so long before going and finally getting fitted for a bra and swimsuit. I don't think I will ever go back to trying to buy a bra or a swimsuit on my own ever again. I have a Freya top and a swim skirt and love it.

It's this one.
